Won't say conquer, for that's for the stonehearted.
Win? No...that's society's way of cramming us in boxes.
Smile...yes, that's what I'll say to you dear girl.
For, your smile will triumph over all.
Span your wings and fly they'll say.
But let's be real, there are no wings or a sky to touch
What you have is that mind that travels and that heart that carefully shelters the will to make anything possible.
You're beautiful they'll say, some might disagree
but the mirror, oh my dear girl, is as much a friend as you would want it to be.
See what you want to see, and see it come to life.
Propriety will be hurled at you like it's everyone's business
You're a girl they'll say.
Do this, do that, wear this, and don't..they'll say.
But you'll know what to do and who to believe.
Because that mirror I talked about...that'll tell you. And she loves you.
And so do I my little girl. I've got you!
Always.

Disruptive, obstructive, elusive
Change is what it is
Change is inevitable
Change is abusive!

Memory lane, boy, it’s a beautiful street
Lined with the trees of the times gone by
With cobbled stone just like the one in my grandmum’s porch
And scattered dried leaves for the times we cried
There is a distinct smell in the air
Just like the pickle in the jar that sat on that windowsill
The wind is warm like that tight embrace,
That helped heal me when I was ill
There are some flowers at a distance I see
They look happy, like the ones in my grandmum’s garden
There is that familiar holy basil too
That she plucked each morning for veneration
The lane fades away at a distance,
Dissolving into a mist of oblivion
The porcelain teacups and that pickle jar remain
But only till I am gone

So easy to tug and shrug
Sacred ties have no meaning
Have I changed or have you?
Us both you think? No clue!

Five dandelions bloomed in a terracotta *** all sharing the same sun and water
Their roots were branched, and they danced, all together, like one
They swayed in unison with the wind and held to each other in rain
In winters they shivered, and sweated in summers, but stood together like one
But then came a fall when one of the dandelions, wilted away and died
They were broken, melancholy loomed, all remained but one.
They were never the same again, but time healed, and they revived
But there were no chortles, and no guffaws, just dull smiles…seldom
The smiles were transient too, and catastrophe struck yet again,
Another beautiful dandelion lost, oh what a fate destiny had spun
Three remained, but not for long, they all soon were plucked and pulled
Two went to woo a dame, while a glass vase homed the solitary one
The broken terracotta *** now bleeds, rotting away and forsaken
It’s nothing but clay and earth they said, it’s nothing without the dandelions

A sham, a fraud, a hoax...a facade,
so sick of the imitation
Yet, it's the elixir of my existence

There’s a lull in the air, a calm before the storm
Like, something is peeping around the corner
a boogeyman ready to pounce
The heart is settled, but there’s white noise
Something is yet to happen
My steps are heavy, my breaths are slow
The languid strides have viscous blood flowing through the veins
The midsummer sun stares deep, punching holes through my flesh
I am not sure of what to expect
Something is yet to happen
A tsunami rises in the distance, the froth brews, the venom spews
A monstrous fatality that’s unseen sits patiently and waits
Life moves in a dazzling nonchalant flash
While I keep treading, unbeknownst; I feel it in my bones
Something is yet to happen

So, suppose you could split into two
Two souls, two bodies made of the same flesh
Two distinct beings leading two lives
Two of everything…two
You ask who is who?
Not sure, no clue
But one is worldly fit
While the other rose and flew
One melts and gently sits into candle casts, that’s true
While the other melted the brims, and flowed brazenly through
They are too different, too apart, they are but two
So who is who? No clue, for no one could know, but you

You are different and so am I
But why is yours superior and mine a lie?
Your feet are adorned in gold, you might **** gold too
I eat barley paste out of hand, but that’s my life, that’s true
The scorn on your face, your eyebrows raised, your nose crinkled in disdain
My face, my clothes are all you see, but there…you missed the pain
Built by the same flesh and heartbeat we are
Yet I am the **** in the soil, while you reach for stars
Do you know my name? I would be surprised if you do
Nameless, faceless, clueless **** are they allowed names too?
As I dissolve, dissipate and crumble into none
You too will powder and grind, as our fates are in fact one

Kick him in the stomach, he won’t feel a thing
Tug, pull and stomp on him, he won’t bat an eye
Hurl a sucker punch and I dare you he cries,
dump it away once done, it’s just a thing
It won’t wince one claimed; I also hear he sings?
I hear nothing come out, maybe just kick him hard
Oh, what a useless toy, one gasped, such a lard
Trash him away once done, it’s just a thing
I hear he can smell, breathe and even think?
Why not cut him open and tromp on his heart?
His heart beats for real? Sigh, such a façade!
Let’s bury it away once done, it’s just a thing
Let’s ****** and torture and a bit of smothering
Is he dead? Oh no, tighten the noose
Such wild beings should not be left out loose
Burn it down to ashes once done, it’s just a thing
Some dreams were shattered, devoid of everything
It felt one time, but not anymore
Does it still breathe? Yes, what a chore!
They were done, and everyone, and long lived the thing
