I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend ….. by vikash `vicks'

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I am not bonded to the chains of commitment ,
I am not engulfed by a woman who always checks my temperament .

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I am not engaged to a girl who strangles my mind and soul ,
Spending sleepless night on phone, never makes me a tired owl .

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

My ears are not a playgroud for her bitching game,
I don’t need a mind notepad for remembering all her friend’s name.

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I don’t have to look at eyes which sometimes showers early monsoon,
No one sniggers at me , as if I am a moron cartoon.

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

No one blasts my ass when I am late,
My father’s precious bucks never goes missing on a date.

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I never become a bull eye for the shot of girl blame ,
Her complains of my bad breath never makes me die in shame.

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I need not listen to her boring family stories,
Memories , that could make me a bag of worries

I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I don’t live in an illusion of her as a future wife,
I never think of being myself a vegetable of prey ;her as a bloody knife.


I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

I need not worry about my marriage as my parent’s revolt
I never imagine my mother’s anger as harrowing as a lightening bolt


I am lucky I don’t have a girlfriend

emotional tsunami never drowns my ambition
i believe; a perfect wife would be my mom's selection
