i look at the mirror.
i stare at myself.
how could i be an alien
under my very own skin?

i wear layers and layers
to cover the alien outside
but, each attempt i make
adds to the demon inside.

i cry.
i reason.
i spend hours in the dark.
to fight away the demon that has already made its mark.
just something about what i'm going through.
you are your own demon.

I like to suffer in silence.
always have.
always will.

Happy birthday,*
the two words- i never got to say,
to you.

Every year, i fear
that the thing we once had will disappear,
eventually.

Even though we're not together
there's a part of me that'll remember you forever
and always.

Every year, i pray.
i pray for your happiness.
and i pray- for my emptiness,
to fade away.

On august 13th,
i regret.
On august 13th,
i sometimes forget.
on august 13th
i miss you.
on august 13th
how i wish i could say those two words to you.
to the person who taught me how loving someone could hurt so much, so much

grades do not always reflect your full potential
and
yet
that's all they wanna see.
i feel like ****.
Samridhi May 2014
I may not have been your grand daughter,
but I loved and respected you like a grand mother.

Every time I visited,
you would rest your hand in mine and say,
When nothing goes right just take a moment and pray,
remember Lord Buddha,
and what his preachings say.

I had just finished one of my exams
and i hear you're gone
i knew everyone wept, wept - a lot.
but I didn't.

as I know,
that you'll be in a better place,
and
that life does not always end at death.
that's what one of Lord Buddha's teachings said.
to the wonderful and humblest person i hardly got to spend time with.
sadly, she passed away today, May 14th 2014 on Buddha Jayanti (the same day as Buddha's birth & death)
