Habits

Nowadays, I have been waking up early
Maybe Papa's taunt actually worked on me
Or maybe it's my dread of deadlines that's breaking my sleep

I was more of a coffee guy before,
But now I firmly believe that evenings are owned by a garam cup chai.
Ma will be happy since she is always in favour of tea

Anyhow, these habits are here to stay with me.

I was a yes-man before,
But some friends showed me the value of a "No".
Others helped me realize that it's okay to be selfish
And not just go with the flow.

In the process of calming my overthinking friend
I figured out some unique ways,
To keep my anxiety-driven thoughts at bay.
And
Holding grudges was something I did with ease,
But that one person always forgave others for her own peace.

So now I guess these habits have also found their home in me

I never realized, that slowly and surely
The people I met left some parts with me
Whether they be advice or habits.
And like the yin to the yang.
They balanced my flaws perfectly.

Still, there are days,
My flaws show up themselves

I don't wake up till evening,
And prefer that old bottle of rum instead of either coffee or tea.

Overthinking still pushes me down a rabbit hole
And the thought of being selfish goes out the back door.

Saying "No" becomes an impossible chore,
And I said I was done being a pushover
Then why do I still defend people who don't deserve it anymore?

In the end, I still have my battles to fight
And an uncertain future still spirals me out at midnight.
However I have people who inspire me,
To get up, dust off and write.
So, I wish all of them to be always a part of my life.
