I wish I wish I knew the old just like the new Helping me mark the difference in colors Of a painted disaster Because the incomplete sketches Spread across time make me Dream I dream of falling off the edge Knowing it will only lead to Madness And madness is remedy For sanity is Lethal Lethal is monotony Gradually crumbling into Ordinary Ordinary is choosing to look away From the display of Sparkle Sparkle moulding up souls of the illimitable Walking on the other side of Fear Fear shies in the face of the limitless, What a thing it is to Embrace Embracing the uneasy comfort Constituting your Favorite Paradox Of whose absence makes you love But presence makes you hate Everything Everything is an illusion And you’re constantly creating your own Infinities.

Favorite Paradox
All that glitters is not gold At some point we have all been told. What makes you, what defines you Is what you choose. You lose yourself before you find yourself, You shatter before you see what you’re made up of; You burn before you shine, You fall apart before you combine. You’re ignored until you’re heard, You’re hurt until you’re healed; All those secrets within you, you seal Because you’re not yet ready to feel. In madness you find sanity, In rock bottom you find high; Along blurred lines you find clarity, You begin to wonder why you try. You’re sure what you feel, In insanity you indulge; You’re not sure what you grieve, But in fate you believe. You hit to bounce back, You fall, you relapse. You fail to succeed, You live, you learn; You try till you die, You cry, you fight.

In Insanity You Indulge
How much time is 'enough time'? Which answer is the correct one? Is this lie more convincing, Or is this truth the most deceiving? Day One Is what you know Really what you believe, Or do you feed your pain With fabricated reality? As though you set water on fire Like a burning desire to scream, Scream out to the stars Patterning your structured time. Day Fifteen Is what you hear Really what you listen, Or do you ease your soul With altered versions? A bubble of Denial Safeguarding broken hope, Protecting the One Second That lingers until today Day Thirty Is what you want Really what you need, Or do you earn smiles With your own idea of ecstasy? When truth catches up And One Second is over; You find reality pushing you Far beyond horizons, Into fantasy- A land known as Freedom.

Thirty Days of One Second
One, two, three, persist. Spin, spin, spin, retain; Under our spotlight of Exception, A standstill of colors occurred- So vivid, it was almost blinding. Amidst the hollowness Seeped a shadow, Reaching out to every Memory locked away. Familiar Stranger. Tracing lines of comfort, Running down heaven, Dropping weight on unknown territory; An interminable candle is lit. A leap of faith. A thread connected two points- One side smiled, the other feared; Two paths were walked on- Only to become the beauty they call Sunset, Or the terror they call Tremor. Collision, destruction. Fear enveloping, merging into darkness; Silent night screaming, absorbing the emptiness; Finding tranquility in expression And freedom in escapade. The thread is broken. Search for ignition, The stars have only just begun to shine; Search for boundlessness Sedating every boiling point, Aggravating every sparkle, Immortalizing intervals. Transience is defeated.
