For all the long nights battling for sleep
amidst the thoughts replaying in your mind a game so cheap;
For all the glimpses of yourself in the mirror
seeing a reflection beyond recognition and your screams in horror;
For all those mornings deciding to be or not to be
lying on your bed with lump in your throat and moist eyes;
For all those moments when your soul is crushed under the weight of hopelessness
and the only feeling you find true is helplessness;
For all the anger,betrayal,rejection and abandonment rushing through your mind and soul
Lying on your bed with the covers pulled up is not meant to be your goal;

Don't feel disillusioned by what's going inside you
Its high time you get into something 'new'
As sad it sounds, the world won't stop for you.
Don't waste time wallowing in self bitterness and hatred
Do yourself a loving favour for once and walk with self belief

Joy
Don't Practice happiness
coz when you do
you build homes in people around you
and when they walk away
they take your shelter along with them;
Rather Practice Joy
coz when you do
your soul becomes your abode forever.
#Joy, #happiness

Darkness , you beauty
sheltering a shattered heart;
engulfing the ugliest lies;
beholding the fierce betrayals;
in your silence.

The Hues and cries in your mind.
are the sounds from the universe inside you
and its there for a while

Scars of your mind unseen to the world
recite a Tale of your battle without an armour
and its been a while

Lips curled up setting a fake smile on your face
unfold the magical courage you hold
and its been a while

Release the universe,
Pick up your shield ,
Stop being this strong,
Tell me about your pain and grief
I'll share mine
Meanwhile the world goes on
Let us talk hands in hands.

How Skillfully she has Mastered the art
to build her walls up high from the start
keeping her beyond reach and secluded
She now enjoys being excluded

How magically her tears became her slaves
residing on the brim of her eyes making her brave
Slowly and steadily will they come out
knowing she's lonely and there is no one around.

How beautifully her heart holds
all her feelings inside
until midnight
when they unfold
behind her hands covering her mouth
so that no one hears her shouts

Darling , I am in total awe of you
You are a master piece
coz these skills are rarely seen
These are not signs of weakness
This is just your uniqueness
For commanding your emotions unbelievably
You deserve a bow undeniably

Who says you need to be fixed and there's something wrong
All you need to learn is to 'STOP BEING THIS STRONG'

You'll not find me in the memories locked in your heart
Open your window and lookout for the brightest star
I am the one Shimmering and twinkling looking over you

Before the dawn fades me away....
