Simplify

a poem by Aastha

Listen as for once I can simplify
The thoughts orbiting my mind

Pay attention when I justify
The reason for killing my sanity

Even if I were satisfied living a lie
I would be far away from myself

And even if I were asked to die
I would not, to everyone’s surprise

Always considered stone-hearted but shy
People have really passed me by

Still you expect me to question and defy
Everything that I say or shall do

The chance to know me has gone away
Now you can only recall those words

Still in tomorrow, when all you care for is yesterday
Be your self, throw your pretenses away! Live for today
