Meera
He doesn't burn photographs
He doesn't join therapy sessions
He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes
Nor he drown himself into alcohol
He scratches his wounds daily
And never let them heal
He doesn't try to get rid of the pain
Instead he let it grow on him
He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears
He feeds it with the manure of old memories
He takes it to sleep with him
And nurtures it in himself
Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain
Until his fragile heart can bear no more
And his soul starts overflowing with emotions
That's when he dip his pen into this pain
And empty his heart on a piece of paper
He bares his soul for us to feel
He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
That's how true poetry comes into existence

Stained Glass
We take secrets to our graves that are no big deal to anyone but ourselves.

you stole my light
when i told you to stop
and you ignored my red light
and kept going
like my body was undiscovered land
and you were a colonizer.
perhaps my asking you to stop
turned you on
made you hungry.
you looked at me with your hungry eyes
like i was fresh meat
for you to take and have for yourself
ignoring my stop signs
cries
screams
because i am nothing more
than an object to you
made for your manipulation and pleasures.
consent is key

why do we say the sky is blue,
when it's not always that way?
the sky can be red, purple, black,
green or gray.
why do people say i'm a happy person?
when i'm sometimes frustrated, tired, or drained,
but usually i'm just blue.

Reflected smile
Let me be your typewriter
Don't say a word
And I would write your world
Keep calm
let me rewrite your universe
I know your heart

idiosyncrasy
for every scar
you've made
on my heart

i've pinned an apology note
so that it knows
everything was my fault
