How can I keep calm
It’s my birthday month
I know not why but this time around the year
I always turn into a baby
Mostly the preparations start well ahead
For I love basking in the joy
I pick my gifts too, well in advance
And this time I chose to gift myself the happiness of a lifetime
Yes, a trip to the mountains does the trick
It is as if a piece of my heart lives there
Whenever I hit my lowest
They act as my magic pill always
Nature is more than therapeutic to me
I miss my life in lush green outskirts of Pune
Now living in the concrete jungle of Delhi
My soul feels trapped and confined
Sorry I got swayed away
Won’t let an iota of sadness creep in
That’s the promise to self as this birthday I ring in
Working meticulously towards soulfully happy indulgence
You know what I did
I finally gifted myself an exhaustive bucket list
And before I could make it
I have already started ticking off things from it
What pure joy it is
To desire to do something you never dreamt of
When you pull off such amazing stuff with grace
You thought you would never ever try
It is the happiness of those moments
That pesters you to keep merrily sailing on and on
Experiencing the new is what I have now dedicated my life to
Routine and monotonous are abandoned now on
Let’s see what it takes
The thought itself gives me an adrenaline rush
Our life is a precious gift from God
Why waste it over trifle stuff
Do what gives true contentment to your heart
And this thought is my gift to myself this birthday
Your life is how you choose to weave it
And happiness is all I now wish to embrace
I am sure sad moments shall come
To balance on the fun
I will then let the memories of good times
Aid me to sail through the tough ones
My mantra from now on is to train my mind
To overlook the sickness and moments sad
Be very selective about my life
Happiness this birthday I gift myself
