Do you ever wonder what you could've been?
Do you ever wonder what you could've seen?
Do you ever wonder to come clean?
Do you see what I mean?

High on demand,
Less in supply.

How can I warn you to be safe?
How can I hold your hand?
How can I bid goodbye through a wooden case?

You've hurt me,
More than immortals do to beings.
I was hurt when I set you free,
But I learnt from my dad that it's good to have feelings.

Dear harshi,

I miss you, girl.
The REAL you.
Your smile,
Which illuminates my whole day.
Your eyes,
Which reflect your brightness,
Your presence,
Which dims the rest of the world.

Where did you go Harshi?
Why have you compromised?
It's time to love me,
Embrace me,
My flaws,
And give me all your time.

I miss you, Harshi.
Hope you come back soon.

Love,
Harshi.

Your insults
are just like
petrol
to my
gleaming
firey
personality.

Your insults
don't break me.
they make me stronger.

Look me in the eyes
look if you dare
tell me all your lies
and ask me if I care.

Life was once a grandfather clock.
Tik
Tik
Tik

Somewhere down the line, everything changed. So much so that now it's just


Tik tok.

Like a diamond
she shone amongst all.

But just like a diamond
devouring her
would only do them
more harm.

The world's moral compass
has gone awry.

Love and Death
are actually a couple.
Both steal hearts,
Both take away breaths,
yet
Love breathes new life.
Death gives a portal to an afterlife.

I wish we could go back to
the naïve age where
we would drink milk,
leave the Milk-Foam Mustaches,
and laugh ourselves silly.

When I'm afraid
your warm hands envelope me.
When I'm happy
your smile brightens me.
When I think of someone I love
your image comes before me.

I was the Sun,
For I shone by myself,
brightly.

You were the Moon,
For you eclipsed
My brightness.

We could eat at places,
which are fancy-shmancy,
But you see,
From a mother's hand, even rice,
Is super nice.
It brings smiles on faces.

Today the clouds were grey and dark
So suiting my damp mood
But then came along a ray of sunshine
From far far away.

And this is how nature reminds me
Every single day
No matter how grey your days are
There's always a ray of sunshine to look forward to.

I was an open book







But he was illiterate.

"you're not a perfect girl"

Yeah,
She wasn't a perfect girl.
Not according to the society, atleast.

He loved me.
He loves me not.
I was once a flower,
But he let me rot.

She was a Phoenix.
She blazed like a fire,
And rose from her ashes.
And when she rose,
The world fell at her knees.

I wrote poetry to forget you;
But why does it hurt me further?

When we're in love,
we dream
and daydream
smile
and giggle
to ourselves.

When we're in heartbreak,
we write
some things
we wish we
could've told them.
And that,
my friends,
is poetry.

Poetry is the language of pain.

May we never ever
take life for granted again.

What is it like being a Quarenteen
in Quarentine?

I swear it's been three decades since
I actually saw the outer world.

She was like an Elvis Presley record.
Slow.
Charismatic.
Blissfully beautiful.
Like a ray of sunlight within his dark heart.
She was the record,
constantly running in his veins.
A record
He would never stop.

Her hair was like the clouds
     Unkept and curly
Her eyes were like a dream.
Her smile was the type anyone would fall for
            With dimples so deep

Her attitude was kinda sassy
       She put people off
But she was just this kind
         Which everyone adored.

She was like Christmas.
A surprise.

Shooting stars are just
small aeroplanes.
Glimmering lights of hope
and promises.

Shh....
Don't utter a word.
Let the silence talk.

He thought he was immortal,
until her smile
killed him.

He was a snack,
but she didn't have an appetite
for him.

I am bottled in my home to be safe.
Just like my feelings.

There are 82 "Thunders" in the song "Thunder".

I've never realised,
that I can laugh as hard
with my family,
just like I do with my friends.

I gaze, at the empty sky,
dotted with birds here and there,
I breathe the fresh air...
It's like the trees afar are waving at me,
The sun is winking.
I've never appreciated nature this much.

I watched an age old movie with my parents.
I don't remember the joke, but once we started laughing, it was hard to stop.

We would stop, look at each other, and then laugh again.
Our stomachs ached, not of hunger, but of laughter.

I want these times to last forever.

My room has never looked so clean,
And today, I have all the time
To chase that unfinished dream.
I never knew my dad could sing
Until we sang together to his favourite song,
This social distancing
Has given me one brilliant thing
My family.

So many unfinished dreams in these eyes,
So many tears; so many cries.
I wonder about how life has gone...
Will my eyes ever see dawn?

Everyone thought she was the
icing on the cake.


Little did they know
she was the sparklers you put
on the cake.

She didn't get her children the stars they asked for.
She educated them and made them fly to the constellations
They always dreamed of.

I'm sorry for leaving
y'all in a fog
Well, folks,
Harshitha Girish has opened a blog!

A surprise is not a secret,
Well, it is,
But that's just fine,
It keeps you guessing so much,
So stay tuned for mine!

You think
my sympathy
is a smoothie
you can just stir?





Eh, no.

"What would you do if you were locked up in a house for months together?"

I would catch up on movies I missed because of my busy life,
I would make new and long-lasting friends,
I would think about what to do next in life,
I would eat all I crave for; maybe even learn to make them,
I would grow beautiful plants,
Maybe try out some yoga,
I would call my parents, my friends, my relatives, and catch up on their lives,
I would stop chasing love, and start chasing the person I want to be,
I would work out and maybe be fit and strong,
I would learn to live simple
I would learn to live,
to get out of the rat race,

I would learn to appreciate
I would learn to never take things for granted.

I've seen a thousand pages,
thousand letters,
thousand stars,
thousand tears,
thousand birds.

But I feel complete upon
seeing my first
thousand views.

And like a spider,
he wove a web.

And like a fly,
she fell into it.
