203 C Street...

203 C Street... the place i call home...
within these four walls (13 walls actually) my life unfolds...
i do more than just stay here... its not just another dorm...
the place has seen so many emotions,,, i bet it could emote too, before long...
i cry... i laugh... i smile...
i frown... i curse... i sigh...
i give up... i rekindle hope...
all here... in this one room...


the day i took my great leap,,, to america... the distant land...
203 C street was awaiting my arrival... a friend on unknown sands...
at first it was just a room,,, somewhere i could bed down for the night...
but little by little it grew on me,,, n now... its a part of my life...


if a schedule is cancelled... or if a friend acts up...
203 C street... is all i can think of...
it hides my tears,,, from the scorn of the world...n calms... n comforts...
it gives me all the space i need,,, till i realise i care no more...


it witnessed one of the best parties ever,,, the day i turned 22...
friends n acquaintances filled it up... and the room seemed to enjoy it too...


"walls have ears",,, people say... if true that ever were,,,
203 C street wud know a lot by now,,, of that im pretty sure!


and if this post seems pointless, u better think again...
the point is - life aint easy,,, in a land that is foreign...
its all very well to envy those,,, who tread the road not often taken...
but all ur envy is in vain... why, at times we feel God forsaken!!!!


"there! there!" says 203 C street, "life aint so bad"...
n i nod my head in agreement,,, it just wudnt do to get too sad...
good times and bad,,, u find them everywhere...
whether ur abroad or at home,,, ur cross,,, u have to bear...
theres no such thing as easy living...life's after all... a balance of giving and receiving...
why, before i personalised with attention,,,even 203 C street... was dull and foreboding!!!!
