Hey, friend just come near
I wanna share my fear
Listen, I have this reservation
Sharing with no compunction
Yes, you are my soul mate
my buddy of Blues,
I'm in the mess, to talk about
mental distress is like a fuss,
No one hears my pleas
as such I take the umbrage
Moving away far to share the uproar,
The inner furore and cluttering
thunder of mind, you are my buddy
of course, who listen intently
my depressed feelings,
Let me share the secret
I have this tendency of nocturnal
bedwetting, I cry and cry
to get rid of my turmoil,
My parents least understand
the trouble of mine,
I am abused by their remarks
Now, tell me how could
I get out of this bodily crisis,
Will, there be - the end, of my pain
Parents are far to imagine
the ordeal of mine,
Friend, I know, I shouldn't
Have shared this bitter fact,
Yet, whom would I, trust
to express my sensitive tryst
with physical weakness,
If at all, I ever try to share
laughing stock
would I become for sure.
