Sooner or later
I just wish
I don't die
You can't always be happy,
Otherwise, you might fail to realize
The value of a smile after you frown,
The essence of getting up when you're down
The things you do when you try to have a lasting change,
When you try to have the priorities in your life rearranged
For even the darkest night will end,
And the sun will again rise
You are willing to be a new person,
But are you willing to pay that price?
Working towards achieving a sense of lasting happiness is a real effort not many are willing to undertake. It requires hard work and dedication to improve your own self to be more positive and happy. Even though it seems like a distant dream, for being happy is about living in the moment and sometimes overcoming them too.
Depression is a war
A battle against yourself
Every thought is a bullet
Every movement is a punch
Every word is a stab in the heart
Depression is a thief
It steals everything you once had
Everything left behind are the things that keep you trapped
Depression is a ******
It killed the girl I used to be
I look in the mirror
And I see this thing
Depression is a zombie
You are alive but dead
You are unaware of what is happening
You are the walking dead
Depression is a nightmare
You wake up into a Hell
You are afraid of living
Everything seems impossible to hear
Depression is an ocean
A sea of emotions
You are drowning everyday
However you are never saved
Depression is a bottomless pit
Never ending pain
Never ending struggles
There is no light
There is no escape
Depression is a war
You either win
Or you die trying
And I am afraid to say that I am losing
she kept her death
within her breath,
she joined the destruction
with its half seduction.
until she fell in love with
its obstruction.

I tried to figure out your poems for so long
I was becoming one;
Line by line
I absorbed the ink,
Dissolved into the paper,
Tumbled into random commas.  
Only to emerge when it was complete

What was complete?
                                    
                           ­        “Exactly.”
Some  poets   don’t even know the meaning of what they themselves write.

I wrote to my future self
So naive of me
I wrote of happiness
And what I wanted to be

I burned this letter
From my past
It reminded of a better time
My delusions vast

I'm not happy
With what I'm doing
It fills me with such dread
And sadness

I feel lost in the moment
As my responsibility drags me along
Going through this 9 to 5 life
It feels wrong

I want to experience the world
With friends by my side
I want to feel bliss
But only a week ago I cried
तुम्हारा पवित्र स्नेह
सूर्य की लालिमा में
रोज देखा करती हूं

नाश्ते के पहले कोर
के स्वाद में
रोज अपना बचपन
महसूस करती हूं

दोपहर के सूर्य के
तपते तेज में रोज
तेरा ही अक्स देखती हूं

शाम को चंद्रमा की चांदनी में
तेरे लिए मां के निर्मल आंचल
सा सुकून तलासती हूं

रक्षाबंधन को कोई
बंधन ना समझना कभी
यह उस पवित्रता का नाम है
जिसे मैं हर भाई-बहन के
पवित्र स्नेह में अनुभव करती हूं

देना कुछ है तो
लौटा दे मेरा तेरे साथ
गुजरा बचपन कभी
बाकी दुनिया तो
अब जान ली है मैंने सभी।
