SIT

There was a time in my life
Smokes and booze were far away.
Everything was warm and cosy
When at home, I used to stay.

When academics were number one priority
Sports and chicks came later on.
But now I'm sitting away from civilization
Wondering where all that is gone.

I remember my friends going for drinks.
While like a rock, I stood solemn.
Now like an addict, I run insane.
And go, with or without them.

All the people, closest to being brothers
All those have now gone.
My family, away from my home.
All the hardships, together we borne.

The unfilled void, in my heart.
Rang an alarming bell.
That I'm stuck in these dungeons by choice.
I'm regretting choosing this hell.

With engineering I'm now stuck.
And I wonder what I would've been
Had I contemplated a little
And been creative like my kin.

Instead I'm stuck in this blackhole
Where getting marks is all that counts.
And shockingly they preach proudly,
That knowledge has got bounds.

Where logical questions are a waste.
Cause in the exams, it won't come.
Seems to be a foolproof method,
To make a generation dull and dumb.

And now my life is blotched,
I just can't wipe away this stain.
And that, my friends, is the story
Of how my life went down the drain.
