OUR GENERATION VS RELATIONSHIPS


This generation doesn’t want relationships,
We want late lazy mornings with a cup of coffee,
An Instagram post with friends,
An excuse to use the #relationshipgoals.
We invest more time on tinder profiles than knowing people,
All ‘cause we don’t want a relationship.
We talk, we chat, we snapchat, we sext,
But a real relationship doesn’t seem to happen.
We stay awake till 4 am texting that one person,
Still we’re not sure about a relationship.
We like the idea of love,
Just don’t want to “fall”.
We go grab a coffee or a beer,
Anything to avoid a movie plus lunch date.
We want the illusion of a relationship,
Netflix and chill, friends with benefits is the new thing.
The façade of a relationship is appealing,
No one is interested in the work involved in a relationship.
We don’t want to commit,
Our lives are about having fun and chilling.
We are so involved in our social agendas of updating our FB status,
The amazing person next to us goes unnoticed.
We play hard to get,
It never does seem to end.
The problem is that we actually do want relationships,
The commitments just scare us a little………
Enough to keep us at bay…….
Enough to always be thinking, not living.

DEATH

When one thinks about death, is it the pain, the mercy? Do you perceive it as a burden, a magical negativity, or are you the one to put up with all the sadness and either grieve or stay ice cold? The cycle of life becomes quite foggy at certain intervals. Choices you make become imprinted beside your name forever, as it is with death. The first thoughts that cross one’s mind is the perception that he/she possess of the concept of death. Some may think of it as the end of an era with someone of extreme importance departing from their lives. It could be perceived as a responsibility that they must step up to. A few may believe that it could be encumbrance throughout their foreseeable future. There are opinions that display the cold heart and the darkness that clouds the conscience of some people, who think that death is a rather good process as it helps eliminate. There stands a belief that birth is the first step to a journey called life to reach a destination which names itse...

LIVING MANY LIVES IN ONE

There comes a time of isolation, When that is the only lead to satisfaction. The peace addictive, Yet the silence sometimes painful. An endeavor for contemplation seems inevitable, You look for a savior, Maybe in a friend, Or happiness in an object, Nothing really captivates you. A doubt starts to build, Languidly strangles you, Chokes you. Having a foot in each boat, Never reaching a destination however close. You reach out for guidance, Distraction from the self- distrust. And this is how you apprehend life. The proof lies in interpreting the lives around you, Those lives engraved in the pages, The paperbacks that calm your anxiety. It is that which contributes to contentment, The books, the experiences, Living many lives within one.

TRANSITION

That tingling sensation, The uncanny intuition, Those unbelievable thoughts forthcoming, Creeping me up with goose-bumps, Started to doubt my own beliefs. It kills me from within, Makes me feel vacant. After endless transitions, I thought at last; This is home for few years. I could have genuine friends, Not just virtual connections. A neighborhood that I would remember. But how foolish, Hiding the truth behind elation. I was just too adrift, Unaware of the phony faces, And innocent to pretense. I don’t know where I belong. The lonely nights a habit, What bothered me was the light. At what point do I stop, Do I say “It’s too much”. When do I get a breather? I used to be my own armor, But not now, I left myself open, vulnerable, Making a mistake. The warmer nature was what I expected, But all I got was the heartless, cold wind. In a room full of my things, The horror of emptiness consumed me. Now the past haunts me again, ...
