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,
I don’t know who to trust now.
Guess better times are yet to be,
But patience isn’t infinite for me.
All my choices,
Where did I go wrong?
Did I prioritize in the wrong order?
Maybe only I am to blame,
But regret is not my game.

This life is mine, 
I lead.

LEFT OUT

Craving for attention, Looking to trust. Hoping for better solutions, To the everyday breakdown. The heart and the brain, None with the clue. How to begin? Can anyone be so blue? The emotion incomprehensible, Experience to understand Being left out isn’t bliss. Isolation maybe confused, But your will and their will, That’s where the difference lies. Part of the bloc, are you really? Realizing your mistake, Excess care and love is what you showed. Unbelievable. Yet still thinking, Hope for better or just give up. Being left out isn’t bliss, It’s worse than death. For you live, not alone; But the company of others, Is the reason to live.

STAND OUT

Starting out without a grading system, We were children and oh so happy, Rejoiced every moment, it’s form so pure. Being taught knowledge is power, But never did we know what awaits. What if between the pages of life, There was written “As You Wish”? We were not meant to become a leaf on a tree,  But meant to be unique, Meant to be that strange fruit, The one only curiosity can find. We were not meant to reach the sky, That’s where we were to start. Infinity and beyond, Creating ladders with choices unrestricted. We were not meant to fall in like sheep, We were meant to be the brightest star. Creating craters, Touching everything. Being the jack of all and master of none, That wasn’t for us. We were meant to master all. So hold up, think, Would you like to explore endlessly?

A CONVERSATION

Sitting on the window seat of an aircraft, She said my poems are nice. This coming from her, I felt ecstatic. It had been a while since we talked, Thought this was a good ice-breaker. A conversation began. It all took me almost a year back, When we used to share our daily routines, Which is why now we don’t talk often. There was no suspense anymore, No will to know more. It had become boring. But not that day, Although she seemed to be sleepy, My eyes too were red, Reasons plenty to list down, But we still carried on, ‘Cause it was a nice feeling. 2 hours went by and she slept off at last. Looking at her, So peaceful and sweet, Even after all that had happened last night, Gave me courage. Recalled, when she was all I wanted, Only to realize, I always had her but, Stretching it way too far. The distance made me stronger, Helped me overcome. Now being happy for what we have, It could have gone worse, ruining what we cherishe...
