Running in my head...

A friend called while I was in the library.She said that our friend is in the I.C.C.U. I was shocked. What could've happened? "She had S.V.Ts". Honestly, I kinda thought she was kidding. How could she have S.V.Ts all of a sudden? S.V.T. is supra ventricular tachycardia. It is when the atria of the heart start beating at a high rate on their own. Her heart rate was 220/min. The normal is 60-100/min. My mind was struggling between convincing myself that it was the truth and convincing this friend that it was O.K. There's nothing to be scared of. Yes I was scared. Although she was discharged the next day, she can have such an episode again. She has to avoid any stress. Any excitement. Oh and yes final exams are less than a month away. So a difficult decision stood before her. Whether to get operated to stop the medications and risk of it happening during the exams or carry on like this till after the exams to avoid complications of the surgery. She chose the former.

Cheap canes and steel chains won't put me down Coz I am born to grow and grow I will. Small you may think I am and laugh, but I am laughing at you from above. Steel cages and window panes won't put me down coz I am born to fly and fly I will. Captured you may think I am and laugh, But my thoughts are changing the world. Stab wounds and tearing pains won't put me down coz I am born to smile and smile I will. Sad you may think I am and smile, but that smile makes me happy. Cruel prejudice and utter disdain won't put me down coz I am born to love and love I will. Angry you may think I am and laugh, but anger this is not, it's sympathy. Coloured water and spoilt grains won't put me down coz I am born to be strong and strong I will be. Weak you may think I am and laugh, but try testing my will to survive. Shot in my heart and my friends slain won't put me down coz I am born to live and live I will. Dead you may think I am and laugh, but with every death a new me ...

I dream of a life That’s perfect. But as I see it, It’s far from it. This oyster is my world. And not the other way round. Nothing to look forward to. Ordinary is the name. Adjusting to people of all sorts, yet, none of my sort. A struggle to earn, a struggle to belong, to this world. I do not. Where’s the life of freedom? Of amazement and discovery? Where’s the life of love? Of wines and moonlit beaches? Where’s the life of passion? Of excitement and ecstasy? Am I destined for this? Then why do I dream? Why do I believe there’s still a twist in the tale, And hope, this dream will come true? Life, give me a chance… Or at least stop me from dreaming.
