Lab Rat...

Sometimes I feel like the Lab rat...

Running inside the wheel of Life...

Chasing the beautiful cheese that are my Dreams...
Dreams - always there in front of me, but never really mine...
Dreams - those impossible ones I will never achieve, but can't live without...

When  I tire of the dreams, and am about to stop running... 
There are the electric shocks...
The shocks of responsibilities and expectations...
Making me run faster and faster... Against my will, against my desire...

I land up running the wheel...
Expending my energies, while creating power for someone else
Sometimes the someone else is as stranger to me...
as the company I work in...

And yet I keep going... looking wishfully at that sweet dream-cheese in front of my eyes
Knowing I can never have it, yet pursuing it with daily renewed hopes...

For is it not true what someone said "Woh zindagi hi kya... jisme koi naamumkin sapna na ho..."
"Whats the meaning to that life - which does not have an impossible dream?"
