Day 152: Deadlined

This is a familiar concept , something that comes often not just at work but also in real life. Whether it is a time for us to be practical and rational about things, or among times when we are told to be realistic. And between all the heavy lifting we do juggling these words I find moments when we feel that we have deadlined lives. Sometimes knowing that something is expected of you helps, but I would rather not have a constant reminder of that in real lives. Some of the best work we too, or at least I do doesn't come from strict rules, they come from taking a deep breath, thinking and facing something head one. Everything else that fits in a master plan with deadlines are just pieces of our lives we have to go through, for now I write to being this in this routine, as students among other things we are deadlined.

Deadlined
I will not be put into things that fit the sections of my day
That have voices and yet leaves me with so little to say
That lets me think thoughts and not ponder out loud
And then stand somewhere where I can hear my silent shouts

And then in between all the mystery
We will find a reason to pay heed to the story
To be defined by what you do, when needed most
But not rush through it all, as though all is lost.

We are cradled between things we believe
And sometimes sitting far from those which we achieve
We are masterminds and plan makers in our own ways
We are deadlined to meet the end of days

We are free from constant reminders and pop ups to no end
We are far from being who we are, we sometimes pretend
We have deadlined lives till the new one finds its way
We are not drawn with limits, we are unbound, we are limitless today.
