Learning from childhood
What I see
That men have emotions
But they are not set to free

From father to elder brother
Why do we expect maturity
Don't it see like gender inequality
We always talk about women prosperity
But why can't men show their inner reality


It's just a matter of soul
wrapped within a body casserole
Emotions are not under our control
Show what you feel
So that you can heal

Boy's can't cry is a common fallacy
That we learn in every chronology
Man can cry is not a joke
We just have to see it an Inevitable block

Yes, boy you can cry
Give it a try
Don't be shy
And Please show what's inside an intellectual guy
It's make you strong when you cry not weak. So cry to heal yourself my friend

The church bells toll twelve
And it's time for me to sleep...but do I?
As soon as I lay my head on my pillow...
My mind sits in the Past express
And moves from one station to the other
Suprisingly... the train travels back...instead of going ahead.
I reach stations that were left behind
Stations...I never wanted to reach.

There's this Pain...that lives beneath my heart
And it eats it up like a termite...every night
I can't define it...I don't know
This sinking feeling is normal
As I lost my peace years ago...
But it meets me secretly on stormy afternoons
And I feel overwhelmed...

But after all this...I still wonder
When will I sleep?
Sleep with dreams in my eyes
And Pain gone away.
My overthinking kills me.

An unconventional fear takes over my heart
As I think about growing old...
They say nothing is more powerful than the death
All the discomposure drifts away.
And it's as calm as a
quill felling from above.

But the fact that
A day when my voice won't echo in my room
A day when my books and diaries would be abandoned
A day when me and my family won't be together
A day when I won't exist...
scares me.

I begin to knit myself in the wool of promises
Promises of a life...valuable
But then...I see people around me
Whether old or young, who met death like lost friends
And there again...I am left in a dilemma.

Is there a promise for tomorrow?
I wrote this when me and my sister had a conversation about us getting old...it scared me...So I feel like cherishing every moment with every loved one...I also got inspired by Emily Dickinson's 'Because I could not stop for death....'

She was running here and there
as if lost in a maze...couldn't find home
She was crying brutally...eyes red and swollen lips.
As if a child...who got separated
from his mother, on a crowded street.
Her inabilities were pulling her down
in a dark well...
falling deep in a dark well...where her failiures echoed.
There were wounds that she had not filled
and now they had bleeded on others.
She was trembling and crumbling inside
as she looked here and there...
for some light...
finding her lost pieces.
It hurts when you can't be yourself.

The snow storm had struck the world outside
And there she was sitting inside....in the dark
With a body full of bruises
Her arm was fractured
And her knees went weak
That she couldn't even stand.
The eye was all blue...as if punched brutally
Some wounds were deep...and they were still bleeding
It was hard to move....as it hurt really bad.

But then a gentle touch was felt
A touch full of love...by a loved one
The love was so warm...that it sat their like a bonfire
And it lightened up the whole place!
So much love...that it could heal every wound
So much love...that it melt her frozen heart.

And in the end...
The fire of love healed her
And she rose again like a phoenix.
Sometimes my soul is just the way I explained in the beginning. It hurts really bad inside and I feel a lot of anxiety. But my sister is the one who is always there for me...she provides me the strength and helps me stand strong. I feel really good to have her.

My ears are in love with the music
As Pa! drives through the curvy paths.
And my soul is in love with these mountains
As I pass through the conifers.
I play hide and seek with the sun
As it peaks in through the green windows.
The cool welcoming air kisses my face
As it secretly enters through the window,
The paths are under the shade of woods
I feel like leaving my car...and walk the days away.
My eyes meet with strangers...
And my heart wonders what their stories are...
I wrote this last month. This is how I exactly felt as we drove through the forest. It was such an experience that made me forget all my tensions. It was all divine and through this poem I tried put my experience in words...I hope you enjoyed reading it♥

Thinking about the farmers -The Meal Gods
They are the ones born with fertility in their hands
But, that day I saw them protesting
Some were even older than my grandfather
I remember the sun...was just like the authorities
It got hotter and burned them.
Their voices were cracking down
As they sat their shouting for their rights
The eyes that use to shine on the harvest...had fired up
They say," It's obvious for us to die...."
I ask why!!?
The great men of our society, providing us food
How are they supposed to cry or die?
The hardworking days and sleepless nights of a farmer
are forgotten....as we taste our mother's food.
A farmer grows a crop...like his own daughter
-with love and care.
And believe me...it's not easy for a father to see his daughter die.
It's funny how we started from' Save Tigers'
And reached ' Save Farmers'.
They are supposed to hug each other after every harvest
But they end up hugging the ropes tied to their ceiling
Leaving their families to starve
And their kids...They end up  hating their own lands
for swallowing up their fathers.
These protests are not a battle of a farmer against a wrong decision. It's the battle of this whole nation.The media is busy covering the drug issues of people who didn't even sacrifice their luxury. We work for hours...but a farmer works for acres. A farm is more than land and crops...it is a family's heritage and future.
