Inspire me
Ankit J Chheda Aug 2021
Cold like a blue breeze,
This lonesome waits to feel,
To feel the warmth of your sun,
Whose light could brighten the dark,
Chasing it away from the farthest reaches inside,
And burn once again the flame that is lost,
A fire of creation to birth wonders
I've lost the ability, or may be the reason to create
The lack of imagination I observe in myself is disturbing, and the funny thing is I'm living a happy life which doesn't excite me as much as misery used to. Ideas come and go, but nothing ever grows into something more that I can put to paper in words or in drawings, almost feeling like I've become the desk on which other ideas can take place.

What do I know?
Ankit J Chheda May 2020
It was but a rising tide than an explosion,
Bringing life to a halt, but still we endure,
Time was always a luxury I couldn't afford,
Now that I have so much of it I fail to be cured,
Cured of this stillness that resides within me,
Courage to create eludes and blankness stares back from the mirror,
Am I just a shadow of who I once was?
Was I once a shadow mistaken for light?
A distant audience to my own mediocre life,
All that I learned goes to waste in the dungeons of my mind,
Everything new spills out for no more can be accommodated within,
Does everyone else too feel bleak like a dying tree?
Is it me who is just dead inside,
So self absorbed and blinded to my surroundings,
Washed in self pity that I can't see what lies at the next step,
Then again why do I believe a word I say,
When this sadness has become my security blanket.

— The End —
