The phone rings again, you miss the call just the way you
have been for the past few days or maybe months. 35 unread messages in one day
and you don’t bother to check whose..You know you did not have a bad break up
so definitely it is not your ex calling or texting you. Still you don’t bother
looking at your cell phone even once maybe because you know 90% of the calls
and texts are from customer care. And rest from people who add up to your
miseries. They call you up just to confirm that you had a bad day. And worse if
it is from a colleague of yours who must have called up to discuss his super
rocking office life and your melodramatic tragic office life. That is the last
thing you wish to discuss. At times you
wonder if you still go to a school. Well no you are at work..Its just that some
people never grow up even if you were more matured than them back in school
also. Comparing school and office is like comparing heaven and hell!sigh! The
phone rings again finally you receive it hoping that the person on the other
side might cheer you up make you feel better.But the conversation makes you
feel even worse neither you are interested to know what she wore to a party or
what he did when he got high and nor is the caller interested to know why you
had a bad day. After all they have their own happening lives, who cares about
your boring dull life? And finally the caller just asks ‘you sound weird?’ And you just reply naah I am tired. “I
am tired” its a great excuse that can be practically used anywhere. That is one
your favourite dialogues these days. You are tired so you cannot study, you
are tired so you cannot talk, and you are tired so you cannot attend
the stupid party. The reality is you are actually tired of being tired. You
drift apart from your friends just because they don’t understand you..your
life...and your work(sorry job like they say)... You call them up tell them
everything that you go through, the mental torture which breaks you down at
times. But neither they are interested to
know nor they understand. The only response you get is “arey it happens, don’t let
such a thing spoil your mood.” As if you enjoy spoiling your own mood.. But
then they were never meant to understand it..Neither they live your life nor they
have to go through all this on a daily basis. It is you who at times lives a
nightmare. Faking a smile becomes easier than explaining people who won’t ever
understand. You don’t remember the last time you had a hair spa or a new
hairdo. You don’t have time to go for a spa or maybe you have and you are just
too tired to go. You don’t really bother how you look. You already have dark
circles and swollen eyes thanks to your stressful life. Before you could get
any younger you realize you are getting old. Every time you see any teenagers
partying at a coffee shop or anywhere you just look and say ‘once upon a time....’
You are lost and you cannot find the way out. You start losing interest in the very
thing that you wanted to do. You come across people you don’t get along well
with but still you put up with them. You are irritated with everything. You are
tired of the same thing every day. Every morning you get up with a sinking
feeling. Your monotonous life has sucked every bit of excitement left in your
life. There are days your prince charming turns into a frog and you start
crying and then there are days you just look at the frog and laugh. Maybe that
is how you survive. But you are meant to live not just survive. You don’t fit
in anywhere. The restlessness kills you. You don’t know why it is always the
same feeling that engulfs you the moment you hit your bed every night. At times
it is the insomnia fairy that accompanies you and at times it is the wet
pillows that force you to a disturbed sleep. The only thing that keeps buzzing
in your mind all the time is WHY? Is it worth it? Why do you have to go through
all this?Do you deserve it? You never have an answer. What if you die today?
This moment itself? Well that would be great, you will be freed from the
clutches of what we call life. But then what do you do after that? Ask Him for
another chance to fulfill the millions of dreams and wishes you had, one chance
to tell someone how much you care how much you love them, one chance to
apologize to make up for things that your ego did not let you to when you wanted,a
chance to fight the fear that always held you back, a chance to live the moment,
a chance to smile again, a chance to munch your favourite chocolate, a chance to
buy those beautiful pair of shoes you saw the other day while window shopping,
a chance to laugh play go crazy again..But all you do is stand there regretting
all the things you could have done and you could not. You regret the times you
spent worrying about things that were never under your control, you regret wasting
tears or getting affecting by people who were never important, you regret being
impatient and rude to people only because you had a foul mood, you regret every
time you fought with your mom..how badly you wish you could hug her now.. you
wish to fly you wish to go wild like a wolf but you cannot there is still
something that holds you back and you don’t have an answer to the question what
holds you back...You know you don’t want your life to end with two words on
your lips “I wish” and “I regret”. You have all the answers yet you are not
aware of them. You know you have miles to go before you sleep. Every morning you still get up and say shit my
life is hell!!And you smile and tell yourself learn to live in hell, heaven
will eventually follow. What do we call this? Hope?life?dream?or maybe just
lack of options
