Standing on the fire of hesitation I collect the bricks of ice, Given by those who cannot handle The water beneath their eyes. Some say to write in grief, When I feel to weave in love. They say to climb for career, When I can fly with my dreams. Nation doesn’t stop me asking questions, But then they like it fictitious around. And when I wrote a duplets drama, Then they seek stanzas sonnet. When I stand emotional, Talking on friendship, They teach me this is life. And now when I adore the nature, Walk through the books, Singing a ballad, Going towards my career, Suddenly my heart exclaims, “Dear, this is your fictitious life!”
