The one I was told requires patience and steadiness I chose to walk it But every step turns into something forceful, uncontrolled A bumpy path, I suppose I stumble, I tremble, but falling never an option It's always in motion, but never in rhythm, never in a straight line I find myself zigzagging, juggled, pulled back and forth A rollercoaster, I'd say Then comes a moment of calm, and you think you've arrived, that you've made it, if only for a moment But it's only a pause, a period at the end of the sentence, hoping you understood the meaning The L you took, was it a lesson, a loss, or life itself?

Life
It is beautiful when it is like water in a stream Flowing smooth with no signs of infiltration Calm and clear, where every action reflects  the words It grows deep like an ocean Sometimes you sink, and it feels like you're drowning - like it's the end of it But the deeper you go, the more life reveals itself. You learn to ride the currents, to guide the waves, That's when you know - this love is yours onshore and offshore.

Love
My world was known as a bustling city, But it was all fiction. Now we’re here—the present. It should be gifting. Instead, It’s stealing all the last pieces of the fantasy. Lonely I’ve been, My world dry and dusty. Dirt always catches you— It screams ghost town; that’s what it is. It’s lonely, I can't lie. Losing the one that made your world lively, That made your world bright! He was many in one But the one doesn't exist —unless it's self Not a loss —just the truth unveiling itself. Another sellout dream, because all came with an agenda. "Better me"—an invitation for the worst. I see my circle turning to a point— No circumference, no area. Just me, with no room to accommodate anyone.

Lonely
Almost everything so empty Funny that it ain't loud One is full Full of nothing Quiet that mind can't articulate no words and heart can't set straight it's feelings It's only tears saying no words nor showing feelings It feels like the end of everything You might think it's the end of everything Self not cooperating Mind zoned out Heart tired to feel anything All three took me to a place of provocation. Wait!That was not the plan It was was supposed to be a place of appeasement The quietness brings loneliness It's not like am scared to be alone... It ain't like that Maybe...it is I don't think this place is for me

Empty
Many say, "It is just words and rhymes" Words that don't speak Words with no meaning Truth is, the words do speak but only with your inner-self That's the reason poetry is healing

Words I wish to hear, from the ones I love and the ones I value I realized I'll never get to hear them because "I am sorry" is not for the weak "I am sorry" is heavy It comes with responsibility and accountability And... Many fear that

I am sorry...
Anger at the top Too much darkness She is threatened by her own company It presents demons only Every part of her crying for something she can't offer Voids that can't be filled Leaving her empty

Darkness
Thoughts deceiving us in every way Clouding true meanings of everything Everything seems like a fairytale or a dream come true. Sad Reality hits hard when you wake up from a nightmare that fell into the day You catch yourself day dreaming of things that can't come into existence Snap out of it You running out of time

Thoughts
Careful! Careful! That's dangerous! Do you know how it works? BOOM! It exploded, right in my face! They said it's beautiful That's half truth They forgot to mention, it's also destructive I had a manual But it was general Because I built accordingly, I swear I followed every step correctly I read it couple of times, but missing a POINT. A point saying, it goes both ways It either bloom or explode Love...
