Invisible

Whispering. Subtle whispers.
But no one hears you.
You pick up a normal tone, it'll be alright.
No one hears you.
You raise your voice a bit now. Just a bit.
No one hears you.
You're screaming your lungs out,
Your lungs short of air,
Your face turning a bright red from the effort,
From the anger, and from the pain.
You're screaming,
But no one hears you.

And they turn towards you,
Towards you,
And they turn right away.

You're there, but invisible. 

My Last Breath

Drowning.

Drowning in this world so cruel,
This world so judgmental
My mind can't stand it any longer.

I need to BREATHE !!

Choking, suffocating,
My lungs are giving up on me,
My heart is panicky
I'm sputtering out water but taking more in.....

Somebody help me !!

I....can't see the surface anymore.
I think this is it.
You don't need water to feel like you're drowning,
Do you !? 

A Cry For Help

Why do we humans define our lives
By such small trivial things !?
When kids, "Oh how many friends do you have !?"
A little older, test scores.
Then how much pocket money we have.
"Oh you don't have a smartphone !!?? Sad."
"I've already like made out with seven guys,
And you not a single one !!??"
"WHAT !? You DON'T smoke !?"
"Lol still not drinking yet !! Grow up !!"

WELL THAT'S THE THING. I DON'T WANT TO.

What happened to those days
Where time with our parents meant the world.
And the only phone a ten year old had was the one he made.
Those days when our grandparents were never to 'old for us'.
And failing was NOT a trend.
Those days when the only beer teenagers would drink was root beer.
And teenagers would have licorice candy instead of cigarettes.
And a girl and a guy could stay friends and at the same time in their limits.
What happened to our innocent hearts
Somewhere between childhood and adolescence !?

They're all personal decisions.
But ask yourself, whether the 7 year old you,
Wanted the you of today to turn out like this.

Depression

Don't let your sorrow
Remain inside of you.
For it will grow,
Deep under your skin,
Into your blood carrying veins
And straight to your heart,
Dragging you further and further down
Into the deep abyss of depression. 

Raging Love

"Shhh. Listen closely" he said,
As he pulled my ear to his chest.
I listened, listened as carefully as I could
To the sound of his heartbeat.
"My heart is an ocean, my love,
And it rages for you."

The Burial

So maybe you did break my heart,
And maybe you were the reason behind my tears,
The cause for my fake but broken smile,
And the one who sucked the happiness out of my life,
But the pen my friend,
Is my mighty tool,
With which I will bury you in the depths of my writing,
On a paper blotted with ink and my sorrowful, last tears.

Lighting Fires

And when someone walks away,
Away from you, away from your life,
Leaving you to fend for yourself,
Each footstep of theirs less audible,
Each footstep crumbling your broken, scarred heart,
Leave them, as easily as they leave you.

They have no right to leave you in the cold,
And get upset when you light your own fires

Forgotten Me

And since you walked away from me,
Since you left me alone,
Since you left me out in the cold,
Since you broke my heart,
And walked away, kicking the broken pieces,
And since you never gave a damn,

I write about you.
I write about you so you forget me slower.

Luminescent

What a fabulous word,
Luminescence.
For one that is luminescent
Produces their own light.

So that they rely on no one,
So that they are never in the dark,
So that they never feel alone,
And so that they always provide light,
ALWAYS provide light to others.

Oh, how I would love to be
LUMINESCENT

Proud Indian

The olympics is finally coming to a close.

In the span of the entire olympics, India has won only two medals, both of them being won by women. Does it show the changing times of women empowerment ? Yes, it does. Does it show the equality of men and women ? Yes, it does. We should be proud of these women who have represented us at the biggest platform available. And I am a proud Indian women.

It is sad that our cricket crazy nation almost always fails to recognize our athletes in different disciplines, and it happens to the fullest extent once in four years. India had many medal hopes riding into the olympics, but none of them performed on the world stage. I believe it is time that our government, our society and our mindsets begin to accept the fact that our national and international level athletes don't get enough attention, and do something about it. It's the cold, hard fact. And it's a sad fact to deal with.

While a lot of us will be disappointed with the overall performance of our Olympic Contingent, I want to lift your spirits! How many of you are aware that the Indian Contingent that was sent to the Special Olympics late last year had won 173 medals ? 173 !! That is an astounding number, and we must be very very proud. I know I am. But we haven't acknowledged these athletes to the extent they deserve, for they are overshadowed by the Olympics itself.

But a note to all those athletes who did represent us at the Olympics and especially at the Special Olympics, I salute you all. Hats off to you, honestly, I couldn't be prouder 🇮🇳

The 100m Sprint

He was down, on all fours

Breathing fast. 

Heart rate immeasurable. 

Beads of sweat dropped down his face. 

And then he heard the gun shot. 

He was sprinting. 

Sprinting for all his life. 

His legs moving so fast they were a blur. 

And then he could see it. 

He pumped his legs faster than possible 

And finally he was there. 

He crossed the finish line first. 

He now had a gold medal to call his own. 

She is a Woman

She sat at the edge

Thinking. Thinking about jumping. 

Thinking about taking her own life. 

While she had dignity. 

While she wasn't insecure. 

She was a victim of society. 

Judged. Ordered. Restricted. 

All because of her gender. 

The water stood still before her. 

Deep. A deep blue. Ready to bury her

Her tears fell in, engulfed by the water. 

It sent ripples across the ocean. 

She suddenly questioned her decision. 

She was a woman. Could she be that tear ?

That one drop of water that creates ripples across the world ?

In a world of judgmental, powerful men,

Could she be the change ?

Yes. She could. The ocean won't have her today. 

Because she had a world to change

She is a woman. 

We Are Never Alone

The tears collect in my eyes
Before they trickle down like rain
It carries a huge burden
Expressing all my pain
They form salty tracks
As they move from eye to cheek
Speaking of those things
That I was too scared to speak
I wipe my face gently
And wipe both my eyes
The truth may not be, but I tell myself
"You're to precious to cry"
But I toughen up,
And though I'm now on my own
We learn through this loneliness
That we are never actually alone 

Celestial Lovers

In the darkness of the night

The moon danced by the stars

Counting the hours till he saw the sun

It always seemed so far

For when the night did come

Every night without fail

He was kissed by gentle sunlight 

Eliminating his look so pail

But he never saw this maiden

Who carelessly breathed life into him

For the when the night would disappear 

Along with it, would go him

He continued to love her

Blind or not, he didn't care

For though he never saw her

He knew of her flair

And so every night he died for her

Enclosed in an opaque sheath

In order to allow his beautiful maiden

Another chance to breath

The Masked Face

Behind That Smile

Everyone has a story. 

Don't judge them without knowing 

Keep those judgy stares to yourself

For them life's not all easy going 

Messed up mascara

Blood shot eyes

She's not high. No

Just been crying. She's living a lie

Make up on in the morning

Lip stick for that smile 

That fake, convincing smile

That hides emotions that stretch for miles

Bright eyes lined with all sorts of things 

But have you bothered to look beyond !?

For you will see into her disturbed soul

But you never looked, so you never found 

A beautiful face. A fragile one. 

But it's not all-telling. It never is

For she hides all her emotions

So people don't see the mess she is. 

It's Not The END

So today I read something that really bothered me, like REALLY. So this post went like this:      

 

Now, while I find it oh so cute and loving that we can think of our family like this, and the fact that I really do love my family, all the END references really troubled me. They say that "Friends are the Family you choose", so how can you say that all these, lets call them relationships, are bound to come to an end!? That is absolutely WRONG.

 

Isn't it sad, the fact that some people ACKNOWLEDGE that their friendships will never last, or their relationships for that matter!? That friend you were so close to in school or college, that boy or girl you probably said "I love you" to, that bestie you shared so many fun times with and hoped you would have more to come........and just admitting defeat to the course of time, giving up on these important people in life.

 

Ah Time! The devil that screws with everyone, that screws with all friendships, all relationships, for its own amusement I guess. And some so slowly, and some ever so quickly, you find friends disappearing from your lives. Fading. And soon enough you realize that you guys went from speaking or chatting everyday to hearing nothing from them for weeks, and then months and then years and soon enough that person doesn't even exist anymore.

 

WHY!? Why does this happen to such close friends, when they meant everything in the world to you and vice versa, but suddenly you find yourselves taking your own paths, and you never find that common ground for the both of you. And just like that, years of friendship and time spent together I just gone. Gone and forgotten. It breaks MY heart! So what if you're in different colleges!? So what if you have taken different streams!? SO WHAT!?

 

Understand the importance of FRIENDS people.........cause when you are alone, and the world seems like a dark, dark place, and your family can't help you anymore, you turn to your friends. But won't it be SO DRASTIC if there is no on to turn to!? No one to lend a shoulder, no one to support you!? No one to wipe your tears, no one to help you stand up.....no one, and you're all alone.

 

This post is 80% BULLSHIT. The 20% that's true!? Everything abut your family, and that's it. So please, hear me out when I say this, and I don't just say it I shout it out LOUD, cherish your family and cherish your friends. Love them with all your heart, and always put an effort into it, you won't regret it I SWEAR.

The Candle of Friendship

The candle stood, flame shining bright, alone but independent, fragile but confident, humble yet strong. 

Friendship, in all its glory and brightness, seems like the easiest thing. How hard can it be? To be friends with someone? But experienced people think otherwise. Friendship, may just be the easiest thing when the goings are good, and both people are happy, and so everyone is happy. But this isn't the case always.......

 The candle still stood, flame still shining bright. Still independent. Still confident. Still humble and still strong. But then, just then, a wind blew. A weak wind, but the flame flickered. The smallest flicker.........

Yes, friendship is easy. Easy, until there's a small problem that arises between you. A tiny, tiny problem, which you think can cause no harm. Ah! But you're mistaken here. And the worst thing you can do is dismiss the problem, without acknowledging it. 

 The wind might have started out weak, but it is certainly persistent. One small flicker after the other, the flame endures it, but it knows that it can no longer do it on its own. Independent people sometimes are dependent you know!?

So you dismissed the problem. But just like that wind, one small, dismissed problem after another, the tension between you two rises. You suddenly find yourself in such a position, that you're fading away, flickering out of existence.....

The flickering has slowed down, reduced. A hand now protects the flame on one side, but why does it continue to flicker? Because on other side, exposed to the raw wind, the flame is still dying, still fading. Slowly, but steadily disappearing. 

Effort from one side will never save your friendship, it will only sustain it for a certain amount of time. The end is inevitable, just like for that flame, if your friendship isn't protected and nourished from both sides.

 The candle stands now, strong again, protected on both sides by loving hands. Nurtured by these loving hands. It is no longer a flame, but a fire. A fire that will burn bright for eternity, because independent as it is, no one is alone in this world, not even a small flame.....

Problems arise in every friendship, every relationship. But all it takes is that small effort from both sides to keep the eternal fire of your friendship burning, and burning bright. Don't give up on your friends, put in that little effort, cause that's all it takes.
