INERTIA....


Out of frustration came these words
of shame and pain,
like a spear of fire it stung me,
again and again.
for when I saw the things I had done
I was left with none.


Had a 1000 things to do in my list,
ended up doing only so much,
which could be counted or held in my fist.
for all the things lined up in my list,
vanished like mist.


I wondered - why am I stopping myself from DOING things?
or am I afraid of doing them a little too well.
for all I could see is empty spaces of time,
which I had strenuously filled with nothing.


I could feel the inertia within me
of not doing things all this while,
which was devouring away from me,
all those precious moments of time.


Finally I decided with all my heart,
TO DO THE THINGS, THAT HAD TO BE DONE,
because only after DOING them, they are DONE,
Took it slow, made it a habit,
Inertia decreased, sooner I realised, I have changed a bit.

hey guys,this chap has got lot of poetic sense.....this guy is just a mile away from say ..keats....but more towards some sensible engish ...only difference is ican understand sharath but not keats.....well i know this guy from when i was born....this guy is truely art oriented....he would have shined ...had he taken arts....
coming to the poem....he is making all of us learn lessons....he has written the common experiences of procastination...
poem is the toughest literary sense to publish and comprehend....to write one,u need mood,experience,an some vocabulary..if some has written a poem...it goes to show he can embrace any challenge under the sky
hope this guy becomes the greatest Australian poet.....
