One morning I lay on my bed
dwindling on some memories
One was particularly annoying
Actually more annoying than the others
It wasn’t anything like what I saw
out of the window
The scenic beauty
that I hold back in my eyes
restraining to describe
Rather it was just obverse
It caged me or rather it tried
in a word called Painter
which I’m not and don’t want to be
So I took my brush
started beating it on the ground
Weeks later, it was replaced
by a pair of mallet
producing ‘chugga-diggi-diggi-dum-dum’
kinds of sound
I loved it
I still love it
but they called me a Drummer
The chronicles of me being called something
went on and on and they never stop
They want me to choose
choose one profession, one career
well, how about when you called me
a Stupid and a Genius
Turn that into a profession, will ya!!
They just can’t
They know how to call and get called
But they don’t know how to be
When I tried to make them see
how to be
they kept calling me
a Poet, wanna be!
