tragedies
the most frustrating thing
when it comes to a writer
is when everything
every word, every letter,
isn't enough to give justice to
the captivating picture of you
in the afternoon:

soaked in sweat,
grinning foolishly,
striking up a conversation
about coffee,
and how unhealthy it is
for me to drink
three cups straight,
to stay awake,

yet the bittersweet taste
stains my lips.

it spills down my throat,
covers my lungs,
and drowns them
with the addicting aroma
of coffee beans
and lazy dreams,
until i cannot seem
to breathe,

and the only thing
i can ever do
is to spill ink
for you.

Once i used to be a person,
A person with Amateur thoughts.
Once i used to be infant,
Whose giggle used to give solace to all.
Once i used to be Thick-skinned,
A person who does not appear to be hurt.
Once i used to be charismatic,
A person who was lovable to all.
Once i used to be an escapist,
A person who always dream big.
But Now! Clouds are all around,
Now the thoughs turned to be wild.
Now the giggles turned to be Evil_laughs,
And that solace turned to be aggravate.
The Thick-skin turned to be numb,
And he became most Warped person.
That charismatic person is now appalling,
And Now he is loved by none.
Now the escapist became a realist,
And Now he does not dream at all.
Now his innocence is taken away,
The light of his life has lost its way.
Oh!  Dear cruel world let him live,
Make him a way to dream again new.
The words are not enough to express the grief,
He has been falling like a withered leaf.
Now that's a prayer from core of my heart,
Let him be what he used to be.

His voice said
Nice to meet you.
His eyes said
You look good.
His hand said
I want you to notice me.
My head said
Stay away from him.
My heart said
Kiss him.
My voice said
Nice to meet you too.

"Why does it hurt so much?"
"Why do I feel like I'm losing you?"
"Why am I never good enough?"
"Why am I doing this?"
"Why can't you let her go?"
"Why do we keep going in circles?"
"Why do I never follow my gut?"

"What do they have that I don't?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"What's wrong with you?"
"What do you want from me?"
"What is the right thing to do?"

The Who's:
"Who is she?"
"Who am I?"
"Who are you?"
"Who do I turn to?"
"Who can I talk to?"
"Who wouldn't hurt me?"
"Who wouldn't judge me?"

The Am I's:
"Am I better off alone?"
"Am I a good person?"
"Am I doing what is right?"
"Am I living the life I should?"
"Am I better not living life at all?"
"Am I kind enough?"
"Am I popular enough?"
"Am I pretty enough?"
"Am I smart enough?"
"Am I funny enough?"
"Am I enough?"

You're not created only to write epistles of sad poetry and use too many metaphors,
Devoting them all to an address that won't write you back.
You're not made to be here to be held back.
Or to wait around for a call of your name from a voice that'll never bother to come around.
But you're made to love and to be loved,
To see things and to be seen.
To capture beauty in every way that is possible.
You were made to be.
And this is your call,
So be it.

you're saying that you sympathize
but i can see the pity in your eyes
you're not fooling anyone, and i'm tired of it.
