You are a star
shining at your best
in the vastness of the sky
among beautiful moon and sun

And I am a moth
Happy even with the lights of an electric bulb
How I wish
I could sit next to you and your brightness

But,
I know
that dream is too big
and I am doomed with this artificial light

I see you
from here on earth
amid the dust and dirt
your dreamly image in the sky

You light of the sky
Filling the darkness
with a twinkling lights
and making me in awe every night

I console my heart
at least
I could see you from a distance
and be happy on my own little world

I console my heart
Some dreams are
too beautiful
to become a reality

The first day of school
In those alien looking environment
And terrifying classroom and teachers
Friends were the ones who made me comfortable

In between those four walls called "classroom"
Along with my friends, I found paradise
May it be Playing hide & seek or eating tiffin together
I found a family like feeling in those 6 words called "FRIEND"
Friend is not just a word, it is an emotion.

I don’t know what scares me more
You wanting to know my secrets
Or my willingness to share them

lyka
The first time she looked up
She fell in love with the sky
Her heart reaching higher
The only answer was to fly

So she made wings of her heart
Carved dreams into feathers
Bid farewell to earth
And fluttered towards ether

But gravity loved her too
Had no intention to let go
Pulled her firmly to the ground
And broke her wings in woe

Monsoon is beautiful. Rainstorm, thunder, lighting, all of it going at once.
You also have a lot of things going on in your mind.

People love monsoon. Why won't they love you?
We can always find a reason to love.

She Writes
Do not misinterpret my silence
As an absence of fortitude
I choose to raise my pen
Instead of my voice
Your spoken words
Will fade with time
My words will remain
Ink stained imprints on your mind
Long after I’m forgotten
