I AM BEING BURDENED,
BURDENED WITH BATED BREATH,
AND IN THESE HEAP OF EXPECTATIONS' 
I AM BURRIED.....


MY VANITY WHICH NO MORE EXIST HURTS,
WHEN PEOPLE LOOK AT ME WITH EXPECTATIONS,
WHICH I CANNOT FULFILL & THIS EXHAUTS ME,
SO MUCH THAT I FEEL CURBED....


I PROVOKED MYSELF,
PROVOKED TO BE SOMEONE WHO I NEVER WAS,
BUT THESE BATED BREATH INDUCED ME TO SEARCH,
SEARCH WHO I AM AND FORGET WHO I WAS .....


MY MORTALITY CALLS ME,
AND SO I RESIGN, I ABDICATE,
BUT IT SAYS, "WAIT, I HAVEN'T COME TO TAKE YOU",
YOU STILL HAVE TO LIVE....


YOUR ATTEMPT TOWARDS YOUR FATALITY,
WILL REMAIN ABORTIVE,
UNTILL YOUR PART OF AGONY YOU DONT ENDURE,
YOU JUST CANT RESIGN LIKE THIS...


THERE I REALISED,
REALISED THAT JUST NOT OTHERS,BUT EVEN MY LIFE EXPECTS FROM ME,AND THAT IT IS NOT HAPPY WITH ME..


WHAT DOES MY LIFE ANTICIPATE?
WHERE DO I STAND?
DO I EXIST?
AM I ALWAYS GONNA BE SEEN AS A PARANOID?


I REALLY DONT KNOW,
HOW I AM GOING TO COUNTER MYSELF?
BUT TOO MANY EXPECTATIONS,
RESTRAIN ME......


I RECOGNISE,
RECOGNISE THAT EXPECTATIONS ARE PRICELESS,
I KNOW THEIR ENORMITY,
BUT HOW DO I LIGHT TWO SIDES OF THE CANDLES AT THE SAME TIME...


SO I FEEL BURDENED,
BURDENED WITH BATED BREATH
AND IN THESE HEAP OF EXPECTATIONS
I FEEL THAT I AM BURRIED......
