What is Love?
Nisha Jan 2022
I can't define it
Nor have I seen a good example of it
It can be mistaken for lust
Which I have done many times before
This word or feeling called 'love'
Is foreign to me
It is scientifically irrational
A feeling that many have told me that I'm incapable of feeling
I envy those who are in love
It's something I truly desire
▪-▪
Who can define love
What does love feel like
When is one ready to love
Where does love come from
Why is it hard to find
and How does one love

Cold Space
Nisha Oct 2021
The cold surrounds me

Sleeping alone in the cold without warmth by my side

The cold surrounds me

The space to my right, cold and empty

The cold surrounds me

Moving closer to the space on my right and leaving another cold gap to my left

The cold surrounds me

Thinking about the warmth that could one day fill that space

The warmth smothers me

Those thoughts fade away as I'm reminded of the cold that awaits me

The cold surrounds me

My heart being just as cold, guarded with walls knowing that warmth will never have me

The cold surrounds me again

Alone I remained and always been, as I shuddered in the cold

The cold forever surrounds me

I yearned for warmth but could never attain it for I was meant to be alone

I surrendered to the cold

This piece contains my true feelings for winter. Winter is my favorite season. Although,  I'm happy, pain always seems to follow behind. Embrace your pain and don't ignore it. -Nisha

Acceptance
Nisha Oct 2021
I dream of shallow waters and dancing lights surrounded by the moonlight
It's gleaming light reminds me that I'm not alone
Walking through the darkness hand and hand with hope
I see faith looking down upon me from the stars
With an unbiased eye they look at my scars
Accepting me for who I am and the world I am from

I also wrote this poem in July when I was healing. Throughout the process of coming to terms with my emotions. I still kept writing even though I was having a hard time.

Working with a Purpose
Nisha Oct 2021
Feet hurting but it will all be worth it
Telling white lies because I refuse to forfeit
Not ashamed of what I've done, we're all imperfect
Saving up cash for my family so they can be sorted
I hope this rhyme will be easy for you to interpret
Started being selfish because I deserve it

Short and simple :]

Self Sabotage
Nisha Jun 2022
I can guarantee I've met the one fated for me
I ruined my chance and set him free
Now and then it crosses my mind
That someone was meant for me
Another chance I get, and I've done it again
Pushing away the ones whose love was given to me

Blank Canvas
Nisha Dec 2021
Here I am a blank canvas
Losing all of my color and ambitions
Without a thought of who I wish to be

A blank canvas
At the world's disposal
Ready to be painted with experience
▪-▪
A blank canvas waiting to be seen...

No Hope
Nisha Jun 2022
A soul without a goal

A life with no ambitions

A vessel missing it's purpose

A relationship without communication

A lock with no key

A story missing the start

A pistol without bullets

A body with no heart

▪-▪
Fated to fail before even starting

Your My Routine
Nisha Mar 2022
Talking to someone every night sometimes until the sky turned blue or even almost every day it's like a routine, devoting all your time to only that one person but when it all stops.
It's like being homesick or feeling abandoned. It's a weird feeling to have towards a person but it's what your use to. Getting anxious every time they leave or even desperate sometimes. When they return it's like being whole again or finding the missing piece to your puzzle

Choking
Nisha Dec 2021
Waking up coughing
Not breathing
Throat closing
Choking as I gasped for air
Here I am again...
Another restless night
Not being able to breathe
Just thankful that I'm still here
•-•
I hope one day that it doesn't happen again.

Goodbye Bestfriend
Nisha Nov 2021
I feel you fading away
Your presence drifting further away from me
Leaving a void behind where you used to be
Reminiscing about all of our time together
Wondering how we've strayed from one another
Losing hope that we could ever get back the time we lost
Never saying the words that I really wanted to tell you
I felt you fade away
●-●
My bestfriend and I haven't spoken in so long but I knew that are time was over. We were growing older and growing apart.

— The End —
