I'm not suitable for society in case I'm not suitable for my family
Those who are well groomed at home are those who are well received in society

Behind every successful man,
There is a woman.
To achieve this ideology,
I'm crumbling myself to pieces,
As best as one can.
I'm willingly giving myself up to this social construct. Everything we do for an unreciprocating love.

Solitude is such a wonderful society
Where no one nitpicks and censures us;
Only peace lingers on...

When we learn something by heart
It becomes a perfect path for us to walk on and the passion overwhelming us

I didn't feel like writing today.
I was afraid I'd say the unsaid.
I dont wanna face the truth,
I dont wanna give up on us.
Why cant you come back to me,
And be the way it's supposed to be?
But alas I'm a poet. I must write.

Everything is sweltering:
Turn to tap water,
Lean against the wall,
Stand on the floor,
Talk to any man,
Ask the shopkeeper
For some concession,
Interfere with entertainments
Of your child,
Interrupt your wife
When she is chatting
For July is burning,
For no drizzle,
Though the sky is overcas.

I'm like carbon.
Under the right pressure I'll turn into diamond.
But if exceeded I'll break,
Forever worsened.
There's a limit to my tolerance.

I'm like a closed door,
Not locked just shut.
People gather around.
But none of them so bold,
Willing to cross my threshold.
Would you come in?

I lie on my bed all curled up in myself.
No lights, no ventilation, no disturbance.
There's no spark that would lead me out of this cave.
I'm suffocating on my thoughtless brain wave.
There's no one I know coming to me to save.
I desire nothing lord, put me back in my grave.
The rocks and soil will make a comfortable bed I suppose.

We're unhappy with what we're
But we don't want to be happy
By being what we may be

Reading novels
Is an adventurous journey through the road of mind

It's too wisdom
To iron out
Why you are failing
To do good deeds
As per your knowledge

You cannot satisfy everyone by doing that you thought was enough to do
But you can satisfy yourself by doing the same with pure dedication and honesty
