The Bitter Revelation

A hope got shattered
The anxiety is gone....
The curiosity's been killed...
Now that the suspense is revealed !

It's not that I am sad
but neither I am happy
I shouldn't have built the castle of hopes...
I shouldn't have acted crazy!

Lucky is the one whom you have chosen...
Lucky is the one whom you have loved !
I wish you were in love with me,
I wish my stars were propitious enough !

Examination Phobia

My exams are very near
And my poor heart is bulging out of fear
I'm forgetting whatever i knew
I don't know what to do.
My nights are now full of nightmares
Mornings come without any cheer...
I've to study so many lessons ...
Oh God ! I'm forgetting the answers,
I remember only the questions.
How I hate this examination!
That makes my colourful life
Full of tension; devoid of any recreation.
The horror of examination haunts me every year
Oh God ! Please help me
To overcome this fear.
