Treat the flower in a dead field not as a statement but a marker
It stands in the corpses of fallen comrades as they slowly waste to earth
A gravestone at most, a parasite to all that its roots once knew
It will probably thrive more from their bodies then it did in their company
Dull linen hung over a coffin, a decorative use for a tragedy
Like broken signs, they always point in two different directions
Follow your mind and go off track, follow your heart and risk it breaking
Understanding is key, that is all you can strive for
To know those around you, to connect and touch hearts
Realize how much energy they take and wait
Watch them waste into a morning sun that does not rise
Then soak in what you've experience, be mournful yet strong
A gravestone if you will, turn into a name and a date
Become nothing but a stencil for children
Burnt paper and the past

In a dream i am falling,
Into the deep abyss,
I once swimmed in...
I once lived in....

Trapped between reality & fantasies,
Trapped between sanity and insanities,

Breaking the thorned vines, ripping them out of my way,
Climbing up the vines to the light above
Oh so bright, i see....
Hoping that soon I'll be able to breathe.
My hands & feet are covered in the thickest blood,
Pain crushing the toughest bones....
Feeling my skin ripping I'm alive I'm alive...
I'm in the clearest of skies...
Clouds so bright, pink & white...
I click,
The loudest scream of a daughter,
I close my eyes , as it rolls to the back of my head...
I'm back in the world of despair and to the thinking of being chained with thickest chains but its just a tiny thread.
Thinking that I'm Ina tight embrace by the neck, facing the worst enemy...
My killer entities.
How can live when I'm battling me .

I'm writing this on the first of June
Hoping that maybe, just maybe
This isn't what I see

I see your eyes and how they shine
While looking straight at me
My eyes they shine, no more

I see your lips speak candied things
In hopes of honey-suckled rings
My lips taste sweet, no more

I see your hands lacing through mine
And tingles running down your spine
My hands fit in, no more

I see your smiles like city lights
Igniting dark and quiet nights
My smiles ignite, no more

I see your heart it beats for me
It's beating wildly, I could see
But mine it beats, no more

I'm writing this on the first of June
Hoping that maybe, just maybe
This isn't what I see—
But sorry baby
I could see—
We're going out of tune.
Off-key.

Spoken word video of my poem "Ever Changing"

Trying to change to make other people happy
Is like when you urinate and it goes into three different directions
It's not fun and nobody wants it

I'm sorry I don't laugh like you think I should laugh
I'm sorry that I'm not as smart as you in math
I'm sorry that I'm not going down the right path

In your eyes all you see
Is a complete failure that is me
If only
You could **** me out like all the other
flaws you've taken out

I won't doubt
That you know a lot
So take your shot
I used to fight but I promise this time I won't  

So pick out all the mistakes you see
Then I'll only be perfect in your eyes
I swear this time I will not cry
So keep on going
Keep on throwing insult after insult
So after this assault
I'll be perfect like you want me to be
But don't be surprised when you realize I'm no longer me

In a fast changing world where everything keeps on changing,
things have changed to such an extent that the past now does not seem to be a thing of past, but the past now seems to be a thing of remote past.
Definitely over a period of time a lot of things have changed.

In a fast changing world where everything keeps on changing,
things have changed to such an extent that there is no point in ascertaining the future because over a period of time something new will get added to the process of ascertaining the future, disturbing the peace of mind, then at that point in time, which will be the present moment in time.

Definitely it’s always better to move ahead with a cause.
Definitely it’s always better to move ahead keeping in mind something and in doing so never forget to move ahead in the present along with the present moment in time.

One of the things which have always happened over a period of time is when there is a change in dimension, then at that point in time there is a change of mind, which leads to deviation.

Finally as a result of the deviation things, which could have fallen in place, don’t find the right way, everything which could have worked out now needs more time, more space and more energy.

Definitely agreed that the world is a fast changing place, but this never meant that one needs to press the panic button every now and then, thinking that the situation will change and everything will worked out.

On the contrary pressing the panic button can lead to chaos, which will eventually invite a disaster, something which otherwise would have not happened, but will now happen, not only spoiling, but ruining each and everything, which otherwise would have been in it’s time and place.

So always think of best, give your best and move ahead with a positive mindset so as to get things done because no one knows when the tide will take a turn and everything will get worked out.
Thus don’t give up and keep going because life is full of surprises and no one knows when you will come across one.

It is as if I have forgotten how to pronounce the words that once defined the curve of my mouth.
I renounce the person I was one second ago, and in a moment I will do so again.
To begin in captivity only breeds a certain wilderness growing restless in the tips of my toes.
I'm not cultivating new evils within a clenched fist or the feeling of his legs tangled in mine.
I'm just breaking in the skin that I once stood hollow in; coming into myself.
i'll be a legal adult in two weeks and i feel weird
