I want to be invisible


I want to walk down the road leisurely
Without having to worry about my dress or hair.....
I want to sit by a river and enjoy the breeze
Without getting disturbed by the public's stare.....

How I wish I could cycle along the path
Letting my spirits free..as a flying bird.....
I wish I could climb a tree and enjoy the view
Without worrying about being called a nerd.....

I wish I could go wherever my heart wants to go
Without thinking of the people I'll meet on the way.....
And all the questions they might ask from me
And in reply what exactly I’m going to say.....

It is a bother to answer the same set of questions
Again and again every time we meet.....
I wish I could be invisible to the others
So I can enjoy my walk down the street.....

  3. Chams, You just hit it on the head.

    Particularly this part.

    >>It is a bother to answer the same set of questions
    Again and again every time we meet....<<

    When we go home, I don't want to go to the newsstand to buy the paper. The lady over there always asks the same set of questions, every time she sees me. And she never remembers my answers. So I park on the other side of the road out of sight and ask my son to go, get the papers. Just because she doesn't know the connection, he gets away with it.

    She is only just one example. I give some people a wide berth.

    Just one last thing. Can you say care freely? I don't think so. I think it's carefree. This is the teacher in me, though I hate it, ha ha!

    1. You know what dude...these days I’m having a phobia for people because apparently everyone who sees me has the same set of questions to ask.

      "So what are you doing now?" "when is your convocation?" "why don't you move to....? "Don't you think it is high time for you to....?"etc..etc

      Sometimes I feel like giving the answers for these questions in writing, so that the next time they feel like asking me those questions, they can refer that ‘answer sheet’ instead of asking me.

      And about the word ‘care free’. I wasn’t very sure about the word myself and so when you pointed it out I checked it in the online Oxford Dictionary and it didn’t have such a word. But in wiktionary and wordnik there was this word, but I think I should not use it in the future because it doesn’t seem to be a proper word. So I removed it from the poem too :)

      I want to thank you profoundly for pointing that out dude…I really appreciate it. Why do you say that you hate it when the teacher in you comes out? You are a teacher and if you don’t correct us, who will? So even in the future if you see any mistakes in what I write, please correct me. I would be very much obliged if you do so.

      And it is from you that I learnt today, the phrase, ‘wide berth’..so thank you for that too. :)

    2. You're welcome,Chams. And glad to be of any help. And I love the way you took it.

      another nice phrase for 'to give a wide berth is "to steer clear of them," :D

    4. Welcome again. Now I want your advice.

      I also have these emoticons. But how did you get this awesome 'thank you' emoticon. I thought the collection shown under "Show Emoticons" in the tray, are the only possible ones.

      Tell me the keystrokes for this. Separate them with "and" or else it will be executed.

      Or else you can go to my blog and press the link "නා ගන්නෙ නැතුව HTML දාන්න" at the bottom below/ above the comment box and do it.

      And, what are the other possible emoticons that are not shown in the emoticon tray?

      Hope I'm not being a pain in the neck. :D

    1. Yeah I agree with you Janaranga. We are never satisfied with what we have…I guess that’s the human nature.

  7. Another nice poem as usual!I know the feeling you have. We are bound by the silly rules and traditions around us. That is why we, the more bold ones crave for freedom!

  8. Hi Chams, What's up?
    You wrote this post 'I want to be invisible' and you are missing. Is this some kind of irony?
    Didn't see any new posts nor any comments from you in my blogs for ages.
    Are you okay?

    1. Hello dude, I think now you know the reason why I went invisible all of a sudden. Even after I fixed my computer I was so busy I just didn't have time to write anything. The worst part is I couldn't read a whole lot of blog posts including some of yours. :(
      The coming weeks are also going to be hectic but I am trying my best to stay in touch with the blogging world. Thank you so much for your concerned comment dude... :-h

      And thanks for visiting my Sinhala blog...Even though you are a regular visitor of this blog, I think you have hardly visited my Sinhala blog. Really appreciate if you can visit it in the future :)

  9. Maybe I didn't know about your Sinhala blog.
    Anyway I'm gonna add your Sinhala blog to my blog rolls right away so that I wouldn't miss it.
    And Congratulations on your academic achievement Chams.

    One more thing. I missed your valuable comments on my English posts.
    I invite you to read specially this particular post.

  10. Thanks Dude.... :-h

    I read that post of yours and left a lengthy comment :) I tried to crop some parts out of it coz it was more like a post than a comment, but then again thought of leaving it as it is ;)

    I really value your comments a lot dude that is why I wanted you to read my Sinhala posts as well. :)
