Infront of men,
She is showcased,
As a showcase doll,
For a man to pick her and take her home,

She's too tall they say,
She's not my type the other says,
Not the one I am looking for says one,
Didn't create any impression on me says another,
And others just looked at her and passed with silence,

She's educated they say,
Her qualifications are pretty good they further add,
She cooks, cleans, and does whatever a lady could do,
She's fair and slim and her English is good,

But they say,
She's too tall,
Not my type,
Didn't create an impression,
Not the one I like,
And better keep silent,

The showcased doll,
Stood their waiting,
For at least one to pick,
To get done with the heartbreaking process,
Of showcasing,

Little did they know,
She's more than what she's showcased,
She's someone more than her height,
Or weight,
Or how she looks,
Or portrayed,
She's someone with flesh and blood,
With a soft heart inside,
With feelings and emotions,
Kindness abundant,
Love endless,

Yet the showcased doll,
Evaluated for whatever is shown,
Is never considered for what's inside,
But rather the outside,
Or for the education she possess,
Looks winning over intellect,

So the showcase doll will remain a showcased doll,
Until someone picks her,
Or be thrown away later,
Once she gets too old to be showcased.

Wooossshhh!!! Booommm!!!!
Wow! The fireworks.
12.00 am,
It's new year,
Year 2025.

Laying in my dark room,
I imagine,
How colourful the dark sky would be,
Today,
The colour of joy and excitement,
Of each and every person,
Celebrating the coming year,

I look around me though,
A room as dark as a charcoal,
The boring same room,
No colour,
No lights,
Just another depressed lonely night,

So, I bring myself alive,
With the imagination,
Trying to connect to you,
With my heart,
To yours,
Wherever you are,

Laying on my bed,
I wonder,
What you might be doing now,
Can't help but ponder!

Will you be with your friends?
Looking at the fireworks, laughing and smiling with joy,
Or lying on your bed like me,
Thinking about me?

I smile at the thought of you,
Knowing that although we are apart,
You are under the same sky as me,
Sharing the same 12.00 am,
The same new year,
The same moon and the stars,

And in this still darkness,
I smile,
And whisper,
For only you to hear,
Happy New Year soulmate,
Cheers to the year ahead,
Wishing all hope,
For you to find me,
For me to find you,
And from my heart,
I send you love,
Till we meet!

Getting old,
Stuck in a routine life,
Have never been in a good relationship with a happy life,
Getting older you realize,
The truth of life.

Love has always been so far away,
Out of reach,
Close enough to hold,
Farther to own,

Friends are getting married,
Having kids,
Happy endings,
Happy families,
Living the dreams,

Oh me? Lol! Not much.
A depressed lonely person ,
Alone in my bed,
A person who can only dream,
No love,
No happy endings,
No kids,
No happy families,
Just alone,
I to me
It feels like walking on a knife.

She stood infront of the mirror,
Looked at her reflection,
A spitting image of hers on the mirror,
To her eyes, it held more,
It held her darkest secrets,
Her worries,
Her inner turmoils,
The storm raging inside her,
The mind that's at war,
She being a lone warrior fighting it all,
Closed her eyes,
Took a deep breath,
Let out a long sigh,
She wanted everything to be cleared,
Once and for all,
She had to find answers, a voice whispered inside her "Find answers! Find answers!"
And the answer striked in her like a lightning,
"Change. Yes, change, it's change"
She opened her eyes,
Looked at her again,
Seems she found the answers,
Everything she saw in her earlier,
Vanished,
And she saw her smiling in the mirror,
And saw her whispering to herself,
"Nothing changes if nothing changes."

Heard about heartbreaks,
Experience showing me how,

What are these feelings,
I don't know,
All mixed up,
Oh! It's a witche's brew.

What was gone returns as a boomerang,
Oh! Really the past haunts,

Why does the sufferrings belong to me alone?
Am I his closest friend; or loveable enemy?
I don't know,
If I am not; why he, the pain comes for me alone?

What my heart says; it doesn't speak out,
What my heart feels, the eyes let out,
What exactly is this life??
Clueless I am till now.

When your life is a dark rainy night,
What you will see is a way to escape,
When  you turn around,
You will see many mirage doors,
When you run to all of them,
Realization will struck you last,
Ohh! You poor thing,
There's no way of escape!

Thou art my happiness,
Thou represent I ; my emotions
The freedom you give me is invaluable,
The peace you give me is serene and blissful,
The mood of ecstacy you give me,
Is so joyful,
What will I do without you,
What will give me peace without you,
Thy companionship,
Associates me to the peak,
Betwixt us what is it?
The bond of grand imagination,
When the reality pains,
Your companionship is mellow,
O my dear friend poetry,
What's more good than you??
