Equinox
Inside us,
We got both dark and light
It's on us whom we choose

God whisper in the same breath,
Where the devil waits.

Inner Heaven shines
Only because of the deadly fire of inner Hell.

Hunger sharpens the taste of fullness
Fullness remembers the ache of hunger

Poverty carves the shape of wealth,
Wealth still carries the memories of empty hands.

We are not one or the other
We are both..
And in that balance
We are alive.
We are made by the perfect balance of both dark and light we just need to maintain this balance more

Inner Voice
Blank page.
Heavy ink.
A sinking mind,
All hopes gone in a blink.
Everything's dark
Two developers developed a game,
Game was real but the players were insane.
The goal was easy...to reach the paradise portal,
But only at once, because the players were mortal.

Going to paradise portal was tough,
Because the routes of honesty were rough.
Love, honesty, sacrifice were the different levels,
To reach the paradise players had to travel.

The other cunning developer not wanted players to win,
He added shortcuts carved from sin.
Poor players, tired of the game,
Chose the shortcuts to ****** some fame.

The shortcuts were betrayal, lies, and killings,
And players leapt in by their own willing.
They dreamed of heaven, but the truth did tell:
The shortcut’s gate was the doorway to hell.
I tried to convert a mythical story in poetry

Irony
Among a thousand threads you tore,
the finest one you held no more.
You called the river wild, untrue,
and chose a desert’s shade of blue.

The mirage now slips, the light grows thin,
no oasis waits when you walk in.
You left the trees, their sheltered track,
for cactus thorns that bite you back.

Strange, isn’t it, how winds conform,
a gentle breeze becomes a storm.
Just for someone who went for a pretty face over my average face and now got cheated💀💀.

Brightness Of My Darkness
I entered a dark house,
With the dazzling flame of my lamp.

I entered the lonely living room,
But the lamp got dim.

I entered the rusty kitchen,
Only a few things glimmered by my lamp’s glow.

I entered the haunted bedroom,
Where my lamp betrayed me in the dark.

At the end, I forgot the entrance,
Because the brightness of my darkness
Was way too strong.
I'm Still lost in the dark house

Backyard Mood Swings
I was walking in my backyard under cloudy skies
Cool breeze tangled in my hair
While chirping birds blessed my ears
My cats’ soft meows melted away my stress

A bitter neem leaf brushed against my head
Pomegranates hung heavy, feeding my little joys

Then the storm came,
Sudden, heavy, loud
Cats ran, neem bent, pomegranates burst
And my peaceful walk became an escape
Well well well it might look like a nature poem but its not🙃
I tried writing a poem in which i used symbols to represent my current situation.
Cats=comfort but they ran away
Neem= healing/bitterness
Pomegranates= sweet but also blood like when burst.
Everyone told the little girl, “womanhood is divine,”
But no one saw the scars carved beneath her spine.
Red marks below her breast from bra's elastic and lace,
A monthly red war etched across her face.

She bleeds in silence, yet is told to smile,
Sit with grace, hide the pain, and act fine awhile.
She writes her exams through the stabbing cramps,
Still the world thinks she’s made just for ramps.

Her clothes become society’s claim,
But she says, “F* it,” and run towards her aim.
A poem for all my girlies be strong and never let anyone decide your clothes and hygiene. Well for me its very frustrating because I come from a society where talking about ******* puberty and women's hygiene is still comsidered a taboo so I always get frustrated while hearing taunts from some aunties who says we shouldn't talk about these things publicly and girls should cover themselves and all and tbh I don't give a **** to them.
My heart fills with joy
Each time I see HP notifications coming by.
“Someone loved your poem” makes me believe,
Confidence blooming in words I weave.

I smile while reading comments in delight,
Each word feels like a guiding light.
“Someone reposted it” gives me gentle thrills,
A kindness that lingers, a warmth that instills.

And when my poem starts trending high,
I whisper thank you, with tears in my eye.

Encountering Demon!
Have you ever seen a demon?
Do not search in hell—it's empty,
nor summon in darkness.

Step before the mirror.
It does not lie.

It remembers—
the lie on your tongue,
the trust you shattered,
the God you abandoned,
the soul you betrayed.

The glass does not forgive.
It recognizes souls.....
And the face that stares back
will not be your own.
Demon and God both are inside us it's our responsibility to choose one.
So choose wisely

THE CORNER OF MY ROOM
Even in free summers,
I shiver with the cold of winters
in the corner of my room.

Even in sparkling spring,
I taste the loneliness of autumn
in the corner of my room.

Even in bright festivals,
I drown in dullness
in the corner of my room.

Even in a room full of living people,
I am dead........
in the corner of my room.
Turning my frustrations into poem

My Dark Room
A white light slipped into my dark room.
I felt its presence,
warm, inviting.

I moved closer,
but it was only a reflection
in a mirror of passing metal.

Was the light even there?
or it was just an illusion?
Is everything an illusion now??

AI
AI
Forged for creation,
Accused of destruction.
Interrogated for its depth,
But its often human's neglect.

A man hears “cancer” ,
his body turns fragile clay.
Yet he seeks answers from circuits,
while wisdom waits a street away.
Just heard a news today that a man diagnosed with cancer was taking tips from ai instead of a doctor like what the heck is happening how could anyone trust an app. It's very stupid and People will blame AI for this but it's actually foolishness. I just want this poem to reach to those who thinks Ai is the only solution for their each and every problem

Labubu Dolls
Creepy doll, trillions of fans,
Spending millions, but I won’t even hold it in my hands.

Annabelle’s better, atleast she’s cute,

Labubus?
Nope I'm not buying it even if it's free!!
I can't understand how people are spending money on a creepy smiling doll I will never buy such things even if it's free
Annabelle’s better than labubu at least she looks cute lol💀💀.
One of my friend's mom threw her labubu doll out of the house she thought her daughter bought something for doing black magic😭😭
I grew between two shrines,
one draped in tulsi leaves,
the other crowned with candles.

Krishna’s flute and church bells
played in the same morning air.

Holy water and Ganga jal
touched my forehead alike,
cool drops of faith,
different names, same calm.

Bible and Bhagwat Geeta sat on my shelf
like two storytellers
telling me truths in different tongues.

Even fear had two faces —
Satan in shadows, Kali Purush in storms —
both made me tremble,
yet pushed me closer to light.

Perhaps I was never confused,
just cradled by two rivers
that met in me,
flowing toward the same sea.
As a 5 year old I was sent to a new school a Christian school which is run by Anglo-Indian society just for good English communication skills but entering that school was like a mix of two cultures and as a child I was always confused between these.
I use to thought Jesus is an English name fot Krishna
Bible is English translation for Bhagwat Geeta cuz there were similarities in morals tbh and I thought there are differences because of different regions where people live like clothes were different because different place have different climate lol.
I was also confused between holy water and ganga jal (ganga jal is ganges river water considered holy in Hinduism) or who knows my confusions were right.

Not made for someone
“Turned 18,
ooh now she’s grown…
five, six years more
and you’ll be free from her.”

Am I a burden?

“Ooh, you must start saving,
her dowry won’t pay itself.”

Am I an object?

“Ooh, she will be someone’s daughter-in-law soon.”

Am I not your daughter first?

“Ooh, she should learn
to keep the house in order.”

Shouldn’t I first earn a job?

“Ooh, how will she survive her in-laws?”

Why should I??
when I was never raised
to survive,
but to live,
to fight,
to be me.
I've tired of hearing this taunts about marriage.
I don't know but I have been treated more like someone's daughter in law rather than a daughter and I  hate this thing i can't compromise myself for fitting into  someone else filthy mindset who thinks girls should cover themselves while boys can roam in underwear and I can't tolerate someone's else taunts I wont dress according to someone and I won't get married ever. Wanna be independent forever. I was always asked for wearing full sleeves T shirt and trousers even if it's summer and I just fought with my family and wore shorts in front of everyone lol looks like if I get married my in laws would suffer the most💀💀

GenZ Generation
By birth I’m Gen Z, that’s true,
but their strange standards I just can’t do.

I can’t be polite and abusive in one breath,
or worship celebs like they gave me life or death.

I won’t wear brands just to prove I belong,
or sip on a drink and call culture strong.

I can’t post my life just for Instagram views,
or cry “period, slayy” when I’ve nothing to lose.

I won’t call lust love, then hashtag “forever,”
or stage breakups in reels, claiming “healing’s so clever.”

So yes, I’m Gen Z by time and by name,
but with a little common sense, I don’t play that game.
Wtff wrong with most of the people nowadays they just live to showoff things. I'm just afraid about the future Generation. Well all the people aren't like this but few with words period and slay make me feel so high that I wanna punch their faces literally they literally lack common sense and they introduce new thing like benching situationship *** are they??

Rains in Plains:(
Sparkling droplets fell from the sky,
Trees and fields shone bright nearby.
Birds flew free with shining wings,
Joy returned with the rain it brings.

But within days the water stayed,
Clogged in streets where children played.
Clear reflections soon turned black,
Foul smells rising, health attacked.

From ***** pools, the insects rise,
Spreading sickness, silent cries.
Neglecting this, the city lies—
No one cares, even if someone dies.


I would request everyone who's reading this poem to please once go through the long description I wrote and suggest me something to get rid with the mosquitoes or do something about drainage I dont wanna again get infected with DENGUE
So I live in a plain region and whenever it rainss it looks so beautiful farmers are also too happy as my state contributes a lot in farming but after the monsoon season the rain water gets clogged on the streets which is natural but the problem is it remains for more then a month because of poor drainage system and also because few idiot people who throws garbage in the drains and hence water gets mixed with the garbage and hence give rise to dangerous mosquitoes specially DENGUE and it affects the people last year i was also infected with dengue and my condition was so critical I was barely able to walk and most of the people lost their lifes because of a mosquito bite but still the drainage prblm isn't fixed yet still people are suffering and just outside my house water is clogged mixed with garbage and faeces but the government just don't even care I wrote several letters to govt also went to their centre to talk to them they were like if we fixed your drainage issues then the other lane would be affected by water clogging the government ***** over here and so do most of the people life is miserable in bihar and I don't even live in village i live in main city capital Patna. I feel ashamed to tell my identity about my state I want to get out of here as soon as possible.

What are we??
We stepped into teens, side by side,
Into adulthood, still the same stride.
Through every hardship, storm, and weather,
I still wish we see success together.

Not as a couple, not as a sibling,
A bond too rare, beyond all limiting.
I don’t know what to call this part,
But you’ll always be my idiot at heart.
A poem for my male bestie💖 We became friends during pandemic when we both were 13 we met online but now we passed high school together and both preparing for universities examinations so its like we r frnds for almost 6 years and we share a very deep bond and he's the only frnd who stayed friends with me till now🥰
Why bad gateway is showing???
Is it happening with everyone
Or its only me??

Posting After Long Time
Sometimes thoughts blanket the mind,
Sometimes stress smothers creativity,
Sometimes career collides with health,
Sometimes life forgets to live.
Don't know what to write , sometimes I wonder only death could provide me peace
Interesting how nature made things… isn’t it?

How snake venom
becomes the cure for its own sting.

How the dock plant
grows beside the nettle’s burn.

How poisonous berries
turn into medicine for the sick.

How the fallen creatures
Feed the earth they left behind







How our problems.......................................think,
Cure might be within you or near you
For someone who don't know that nettle leaves are acidic and can cause swelling in our hands while the dock plants which are basic grows just near the nettle leaves naturally
Sea creatures live beneath deep oceans,
sheltered by beautiful coral reefs,
sometimes hidden in the darkness,
where the sun cannot reach.
Poor sea creatures, longing to be with the birds,
rise toward the sparkling surface,
only to learn the air was never theirs to breathe.
I just wanted to say just be yourself no need to change yourself by looking others.
The uniqueness in us makes us different from others and eventually it becomes our identities if we try changing it we might lost ourselves
Mind levitates solving derivatives,
Hands swell by calculating block tensions,
Mouth tires reciting exceptions,(inorganic chemistry)
Heart aches when compounds resonate.
Its tough but interesting but its very difficult to crack competitive exams in science stream i didn't scored very well to get the top university but i was getting average one but still I took drop for 1 year to again attempt into top ones.

"Dark Light"
Flames sleep within the mountain’s core,
Red, raging, yet restrained.
Silence wraps it like a secret.
But when it breaks…
A dark light appears.
Well by writing dark light I meant the light is too strong that u can't see anything its just metaphor I tried creating on my own.
I walked through woods all dressed in white,
With dust of snow , my wounds felt light.
A crow appeared in falling snow,
Its silence chilled my heart below.
It perched upon a hemlock bare,
And all my hopes dissolved in air.
Beneath its gaze, so cold and free,
I found myself , dead, beneath the tree.
This poem is exactly the reverse of Sir Robert Frost's work Dust of Snow while in the negativity a dust of snow sparked hopes in him but for me when i was fulled with hopes something happened and i lost hopes in almost everything😔

Friendship Day
Once, my wrists wore a rainbow of bands,
Now, bare hands hold invisible strands.
Once, wishes poured like summer rain,
Now, a quiet “every day is friendship day” remains.
Once, chocolates passed from hand to hand,
Now, just two, who truly understand.
Once, hearts bloomed for a crowd at school,
Now, only for two… life’s truest jewels.
..and the only true friends I got are my parents and my krishna🕉
Better to have no one than having toxic ones.

Maybe...
I screamed in heavy rainfall,
hoped they would hear me.
Perhaps the thunder was too loud—
or maybe...
Their ears were filled with rainwater.

I wept in a silent room,
hoped they would wipe my tears.
Perhaps I didn’t weep loud enough—
or maybe...
They built walls where windows should have been.
Sometimes its worse when you got no one to understand you, you'll feel like a ghost no one can see you even though you r sitting with them.

Being An Introvert😀
It's like being alone but not lonely!!




Who knows my silence the most?
Well… it’s the AI I type to, post by post.
Who feels my tears as they quietly flow?
My old, soft pillow , it always knows.

Who holds my feelings deep and strong?
The one who reads my poems all along.
Who cares for me when no one can see?
Well… thank you, mama-papa, it’s always been thee.

And who do I love with heart and soul?
My parents… and KRISHNA , who makes me whole.
It's ok I love living this way with my parents and also with divine presence of krishna around me as a big devotee of krishna I knew he's present with me near me even saved me from my darkest day and I'm happy with only few people around me I don't want fake ones.

Failure
When my blood soaks the paper while writing,
Still my results keep denying.
When my health keeps falling for marks on a sheet,
Still they say , “You didn’t compete.”

When my eyes says what's sleep,
But still studying for the promises I keep.
When effort becomes my only living
Still they say , "you aren't studying."

When medals are hung on someone’s name,
Where my scars go unheard, without fame.
When tears blur the formulas on the page,
Still they say — “Don’t cry, just engage.”

When silence screams louder than praise,
And I'm trapped in endless days.
Still, the world looks away with pride,
Naming me failure , while laughing inside.
No matter how much i gave efforts still not able to go in a good university just everything is ruined but still I took courage and 1 year drop to study again as i don't wanna end up in a bad college even though everyone is against me no one is supporting still I want to give my self an another chance maybe i could do better this time. This year was very harsh for me.

What's My Religion
When I’m surrounded by darkness,
And the feeling of finding a single ray of light is my religion

When I’m lonely in my thoughts,
And a feeling of unseen energy lifts me is my religion.

When my eyes brim with tears,
And the feeling of crying in a safe lap is my religion.

And,
When I'm all alone the feeling of a divine presence protecting me is my religion.

SO WHAT'S YOUR RELIGION??
What do you all think your religion is don't you all feel god is protecting you everytime? Don't you all feel instead of having someone who's gonna leave you after sometime just become of god he's gonna be for us everytime everywhere even after death.. I don't know I just feel this way that i never wanna get married or date someone instead become a sanyasi it is similar to becoming a nun in Christianity in Hinduism it's Sanyasi.

Many eyes, one light!!
Three blind men touched an elephant one day,
Each judged the animal in their own way.
One felt the leg and boldly cried,
“A rough, strong tree trunk, broad and wide!”

Another touched the tusk and cried,
“So smooth and sharp from every side!”
The third held the tail and gave a sigh,
“It’s thin and hairy, like rope swinging by.”

All three were right, yet all were blind,
None saw the whole with an open mind.
They argued loud, in anger and might...
Each defending only their slice of sight.

Isn’t it just like the world today?
Where people fight over what they pray?
Different names, but lessons the same,
Still we battle, Come on it's 2025!!
What a shame!!
I saw this story on a YouTube channel and I thought  of creating a poem on it however I know this story before, my grandma told this in my childhood when I saw this on YouTube I was like hey it's my childhood story and I thought of creating a poem on this I don't remember the channel name if any one knows plz tell me its actually been a month since I saw that video. Well we all know there's a single form of energy who made us all , who all we love there might be different forms beliefs different methods to pray but I know faith and love are same💖

What is Life??
What is life?
What’s life, really?

When you think you’ll win,
but you lose.
When you think you’ll achieve,
but you fail.
When you think you’ll survive…
but you're dead.
And I think....I'm dead
Well, writing after a very long time. I don't know how to start but just somethings are not in our hands its very unpredictable just imagine you gave your soul into something but still not able to achieve even 1% of it that's what life is don't know if these things are already written by God or its just a bad luck but these struggle **** a person from inside I might stop writing poetry but will never forget the hardwork I did for achieving my dreams and I guess I won't even be able to sleep well until and unless I didn't get sucesss

Mother's Day
Today, It's mother's day...
Beautiful flowers, wishes, gifts,gratitide.
But what about tomorrow?
The world moves on...

Where did the respsect go?
Where did the grateful words hide?
It Faded away right?
Just like the echoes of the loud wishes.

But what about the pain of nine months?
What about the scarifices of the endless nights?
It's all gone right?
Just like the whispers of promises.
Why there's only one day made for mothers?
I believe everyday is a mother's day and also father's day.

"Not A Stereotype"
Sooo...
I'm from a state known for poverty,
But I'm not poor.
From a state labeled illiterate,
But my thoughts write their own destiny.
From a state whispered about its crime,
But my hands are clean.
From a state called the land of labor,
But my dreams reach high.

Yes, the facts might echo in statistics,
But remember, numbers can't define every soul.
Not every leaf mirrors the tree,
Not every life reflects the label.

I'm just a human,
Not a stereotype.
So please,
Look beyond what you think you know.
Okay!! So I'm from Bihar a state in India which is very poor and undeveloped and I'm always bullied for being what I'm yes all the facts about my state are true i also agree but it is not applicable for everyone.. so please see me an Indian more like a human rather than a Bihari.
Stop being racist towards your own people..
Just treat everyone respectfully no matter from which state they belong to.
Mother nature made roses..
Beautiful and desirable,
Yet whispered thorns into their veins.

She sculpted daffodils.
Bright and pure,
Yet let them with unspoken warnings.


She made humans.......
Beautiful things come with prices
Roses are so beautiful but they have thorns
Daffodils looks so elegant but they are poisonous
So what about humans
Think!!

Rain of memories
The huzzling sound of rain,
reminded me of your promises.
The roaring of the clouds,
echoed your passionate love.
The splash of water at my feet,
carried the memory of your presence.


But then the rain stopped!!
Just random thoughts in midnight due to heavy rain in my area.

Isn't This Funny?
It's Funny....

How the ones who could speak taught me pain,
While the silent ones tought me love.

It's Funny.....

How the ones who could see like me gave me betrayal,
While the ones who can't see like me gave all it's trust.

It's Funny.....

How the ones who could walk on two legs never stood for me,
While the ones who crawl on four legs always stood for me.


It's Funny Right.....🙃
Sometimes Animals treat you better than humans i don't have any pet but i always feed stray cats and dogs and the amount of love and trust those innocent souls give me is not comparable to a human love.

I am me...
I'm not her...

My hands are not shiny like her.
Instead painted with ink scratches,

My eyes are not wide and shiny like her,
Instead teary and hidden under specs.

My face is not full of makeup like her,
Instead covered with stress of my career.

My hair is not smooth like her,
Instead harsh just like my financial status.

"Even though I loved you more",
You choosed her...
And told me,"I'm not her."
(I know)....
Yes I'm not her but I'm definitely unique and not made for you

The P@halgam Attack
On the beautiful veil of our Bharat Mata,
Now stained in red—
Children lost their parents,
Wives lost their husbands,
Mothers lost their children.
And...

Demons showed their devilness.
At gunpoint, they asked about their faith,
But they forgot...

For every martyr,
A billion voices rise,
A billion revenges awake—
Not just in anger,
But in unbreakable spirit they can’t shake.

Jai Hind!
We'll rise, we’ll roar, we’ll tear them apart—
With unity in hand and fire in heart.
An inhuman inccident in Jammu and Kashmir which took lifes of innocent people

One day
One day,
we’ll taste our favorite meal—
not knowing it's the last.

One day,
we’ll speak a word—
and never speak again.

One day,
we’ll laugh with friends—
unaware it’s the final time.

One day,
we’ll take a breath—
and not exhale.
Just lost my close friend 1 week ago and she d#ed because of heart @ttack so we never know when we will left this world and close ones.

"Chairs"
Chairs were made in many forms,
for different hands, for different norms.
But one was placed for all to try,
too high, too low, too stiff, too dry.

It scratched their skin, it bruised their pride,
yet still they sat, and tried to hide.
Until it broke, with quiet despair,
not them, my friend but the unfit chair.
Funfact: It's not about chairs :)

"The Kaliyuga"
In the era of demons, who loves God?
In the era of lies, who follows truth?
In the era of body counts, who loves the soul?
In the era of Kaliyuga, who is human?

In the era of pretenders, who is trustful?
In the era of rapes, who is respectful?
In the era of killings, who makes sacrifices?
In the era of Kaliyuga, who follows dharma?
According to Hinduism/Sanatan Dharma kaliyuga is defined as an era which is basically the end of the world the demon "kali" will become so powerful that it will manipulate people's mind and people will become demons so God will come and save everyone and will start a new era in which everyone will follow dharma.

We Have Changed
In the race for gold,
We wrapped our peace in silent fold.

In the chase for lavish things,
We lost the joy that life truly brings.

In the race for body counts,
We blurred pure and sacred love amounts.

In the climb to reach the top,
We took our morals to a silence drop.

In the race to have all we sought,
We forgot what God once taught.
In race of earning money, power and fame we unfortunately lost our biggest weapon humanity and love.

The Preparation Parade
In the endless night
With a smelly lamp,
With an empty head—
Struggling just to be ahead.

With a speaking ink,
With a tired face,
Struggling hard to win the race.

With an endless page,
With the sparkling hopes,
Struggling still to chase my goals.

With a happy morning,
With my sleepy eyes cry
Struggling to deal with my results saying,
Lol!! nice try.

Echoes Of You
Beneath the sparkles of my teary eyes
You'll find refelctions of you.
Beneath the charm of my shady smile
You'll find whispers of you.
Beneath the layers of my weary heart
You'll find beats of you.
Beneath the depths of my lonely soul
You'll find you.

But I know, you know—
You don't have any traces of me, do you??
