A moment for you

Cycle down a deserted dark road with the wind blowing through your hair.
Forget about the helmet.

Let your mind replay every single word of The Argument Sketch.
Laugh until your eyes water.

Remember times of madness, of raucous laughter, of friends, of photographs.
Things always look better in retrospect, don't they?

Shout out the lines to every ridiculous Hindi song stuck in your head.
"Suraksha, Suraksha, teri karenge saaton janam!"

Talk to yourself all you want. Entirely in cliches. In Klingon. Backwards.
No one's listening in.

Search for answers to your questions.
Now's a good time to start.

Cry for lost opportunities. Cry for the things that did not go as you wished they would.
You're the only one who really cares.

Scream for the times you screwed up. Scream for a better you.
Pedal ahead.

Dream of belonging, warmth and company.
They're all yours.

Live.
For you.

Read this again.

It is so stirring.

Marvelous!

"Scream for the times you screwed up. Scream for a better you.
Pedal ahead." - So Profound!

and ofcourse my favourite - "You're the only one who really cares." - So true!

I loved the reading the lines. Yet, at the end of it, I was left highly, highly uninspired. And somewhat drained. While it may have entirely to do with me, it is also possible that the content is not only redundant, but also profoundly flawed.

I don't believe it's my place to criticize, but there is a quality in these lines that directs them, personally, at the reader.
Chinmayee.
