I'd rather create my own hell
than to have a borrowed heaven
a burning heart does not desire
hell or heaven that are in numbers seven
create your own world even if it be worst
bow down to none except your own self
for self is the biggest secret of all
those who bow down to their self
under their feet lies heaven and hell
and the universe lies in their thrall

I have fallen from your grace
I walk with plain face
my mirth is gone
your love kept me alive
I lost it along the way
I don't know
what keeps me going now
is it just me?
or this winter really feels more chilly?
is it just me?
or this cool breeze can't let me live?
I don't know why I live anymore
Oh God! where was I?
who am I?
where have I gone?

Put the gun to your head
Listen to the silence
Don't care for heaven or hell
Have a smile on your face
Keep your tongue in its place
And have a tale to tell
Of the burning of your soul
So that the heavens shake
For time has come to make
The departure to the other side

Somebody has a gun?
Ali Ashraf Dec 2018
I am so tired
of changing weather
of people changing
of changing feelings
of moving planets
in their orbits

of day's coming
of day's  going
of night's coming
of sun's setting
of moving things
of disappearing bliss
of brightness in light
of darkness at night
of stars so bright
disappearing at break of dawn
as if forever gone

of everything that changes
after playing its part
I want something concrete
that will forever last

This unrest is killing me. I hope I die soon.

my friend needed light
so I burned myself
to light up his nights
and make his days bright

my heart is heavier than the norm
there is a thunderstorm
rising within me
of overwhelming misery
life is being ****** out of me
I no longer feel free
I feel like I am being played
by someone else
or maybe it's my own fate
or maybe some sort of curse
I am dying here
O my saviour! save me
I lost myself
somewhere along the way
would you please show me
where is my grave?

My eyes bleed with pain
My soul consumed in its own fire
Its own desire
I am going insane
I drink blood of my boiling veins
and rotten pieces of my liver
I consume.
My burnt heart turned into fume
I am in eternal damnation
called unrequited love
