F(t)

Another you, another guy

Another person telling me

Life is amazing, deeds don’t matter;

I love you.

Life is amazing, I’ll believe it

When I see a perfect score on my algebra

Or see those ODEs untangling themselves

Or see peacocks dancing outside my room

Or when that sink in the BPCL restroom

stops leaking, for heaven’s sake.

Life is amazing, I’ll believe it

When I don’t wake up guilt-ridden

When I stop comparing myself to those better off

When I finally stop living in the past

Life is amazing, I’d like to believe

Believe in a soulful trek up to see the sun rise

Or a morning run amidst the dewy leaves

Or watching your family enjoy soaps

Or the plethora of possibilities in a wave equation

Or in a festival painted with the brightest hues

Or in the faintest possibility of camaraderie

I’m me and you’re you

I’d like to believe the world is still good

I’d like to not be jaded, damaged and silenced

I’d like to laugh again
