Self
Sakif Hossain Jan 2020
That self, that version
The one who's been forgotten
The one they never accepted
The one who was hidden
That inner self, that inner nerd,
The one without no emotion...

Time has come!
The song has been sung!
No point in running no more...
The time has come..

Time to unleash the "one"
Time to be truly "me" !!!

What keeps you going?
Sakif Hossain Mar 2019
What keeps you going?
It is the promise that distant future gave?
Is it the dream that you cradled from the start?
Is it those responsibilities that keeps you pushing?
Or is it that promise you made to yourself?

Whatever fuels you, you have to go on...
Hurdles can divert you, but can never derail you
It only makes the journey fun..

Quitting is not for you!
That pedestal of immortality is yours for the taking...
You have to instill despair in the heart of those haters...
You my friend, have to go on..
You owe it to yourself!
Own your destiny!!!
Heck is there a destiny??
It's all in your hands...

A perfect Heart!
Sakif Hossain Jul 2018
A heart made of mere flesh
A heart that has feelings
A heart that makes you suffer all emotions...
One day it makes the world Eden’s garden
Devil’s playground feels nothing other day.

A switch, could’ve solved it all
Switch only you can control
Turning it on I could work all day,
Could've felt happiness,
A pure happiness that I haven’t felt in ages,
A happiness not clouded by her memories,
Surrounded by friends I wouldn’t feel alone…
The dreaded empty feeling, I’m sure
I’m sure I will feel that day…
If only I had that switch
You could stab me with that dagger called “ignoring”
I would’ve felt nothing, I would’ve had a smile on my face
A true smile…

Oh almighty, why you gave this bone-cage?
Is it enough to protect a precious heart?
A metal armor for my heart,
Not even sunlight could pass through it, let alone emotions
A heart that nobody could shatter,
That’s what I really needed…
But I what do I have?
A heart susceptible to all emotions,
That kindles both pain and happiness…
You’re my pain, you’re my cure
Can’t have only one…

Rise!!
Sakif Hossain Jun 2018
Rise
from the maze of lybrinth I rise..
from the graves of darkness I rise..
from the abyss called failure I rise...

Oh you push me back and back
gift me heartbreak after heartbreak,
shatter every dream and hope
push me to the brink of despair
But it aint curtains yet,
from clutches of despair I rise...

Kicked me in the gut,
knock me down to ground,
Write me off,
Sing the goodbye song..
But surprise motherf**ker!!!
I aint staying down...

From the ground I will always rise..

O phoenix !
My precious phoenix...
You enlighten me to the path...

Torch me down haters...
Strip me of every hope
From the ashes of my own
Like you I will still rise...

empty feeling!
Sakif Hossain Jun 2017
An emptiness that bothers all day...
Why does A missing feeling keeps bugging?
A sweet voice keeps ringing in my head..
Is it that I miss?
Or teasing someone over silly stuff!! :-p
listening to her talking on and on..
Maybe it's "those minutes" that come after days... ❤
Who knows!!
Maybe it's just nothing or My smile...
But it's a feeling I just don't like!!!

A first look
Sakif Hossain Mar 2016
Stumbling upon a wild profile,
Oh I felt so baffled, dumbstruck...
Just the look in her eyes,
Whispered hundreds of sweet stories..
Is she an enchantress??
Entrancing whoever looking at her?!?
Maybe it's her pure soul,
That attracts them all..

Journey of a Dream
Sakif Hossain Oct 2015
Dream within a dream,
reality eclipsing dream
Dream devoid of reality,
nothing but a fool's dream..

Thorns in the path,
a journey to savour...
Not you who chose the dream, it came to you..

Hurdles of the path, knock you down
Haters deride & rejoice at your downfall,
Ridiculing you, cause they fear the fire inside you...

Lie down and lament about fate,
Stand up & march towards immortality
Upto you to decide...
Make the decision & never look back,
Nothing less than immortality will suffice...
No one less than "you" will be enough..
Live to rise up, look ahead never give up....

— The End —
