Strolling down the beach,
everything just out of her reach.
Her woven heart again is broken,
from love she is forbidden.

Trust and love of someone,
to her was never given.
Her soul accentuated by her tear,
her heart filled with fear.

Further into the ocean she goes,
the waves higher it rose.
Every step in the water,
back to the past it brought her.

The water already upto her lip,
into her own thought she goes deep.
I'm okay to herself again she lies,
with that lie into the water she dives.

The sky is pretty and blissful,
the wind now calm and peaceful.
Slowly into the dark she is drowning ,
with not a single soul noticing.

Despite all the chaos,
She puts up a smile,
hidden in her pathos,
alone for a while.

She has had enough,
fighting with her inner self,
all she does is laugh,
hoping everyone else is deaf.

Aiming at her is an arrow,
made of pitch dark metal,
all she feels right now is sorrow,
all she needs is someone gentle.

That smile is hiding
as much pain
away she is sliding
out of that long chain.

All she need is someone
to be by her side
his shoulders to put her head on
whenever she feels like to hide.

Beneath that glorious smile
lies a face no one's ever seen
she's held on for a while
waiting for him, unseen.

Let's pretend that I'm perfect
That I'm beautiful
That I'm happy
Let's pretend that I don't cry
In the shower late at night
That I'm not lonely
That I'm not scared
Let's pretend that I'm not broken
That I don't hate everything
That everything isn't always my fault
Let's pretend
That everything will be ok

I don't like how much I cry
But I feel every drop
They are such a constant
I don't know if it'll ever stop
I also don't know what to say
All I can offer is a bucket and a mop
Due to the fact I'm the cause of each one
A truth I have to cop

The truth isn't glamorous...but it's still the truth

I live in a home with monsters
We laugh under the roof always gigglinh
Their eyes glow in the shadows, sharp teeth,
Their smiles are more wicked

The food like lava burns my tongue
And milk drips from the twisted trees
I hate living like a caged rat
Yet i love these weird monsters
Weird am i?

One day i'll take you to my house
Nestled deep in the forest
Where the trees whisper about me
And we will dance in the dark
i don't know if I am thinking about giving up poetry. i think i am just a child with these fancy dreams

teaching is tough
and rough
and cruel

where even some
feel like a fool.

ironic yes, and surely so!
but might i ask
and wont you know?

perhaps you won’t
thats fine with i!

but how come -
teachers want to
cry?
It rained the first day I was without you.
How could I blame it,
I cried too.
...even if you didn't see it.
...even if you didn't feel it…

It rained for you;
For the pain I gave you,
That spilled down the curves of your face.
Open handed and un-expecting,
Open hearted and undeserving,
To receive this awful reward
Earned with love and kisses.

Peering out from hollow eyes
Inside I collapsed;
More than you know,
More than you could know.
To see your face,
Knotted with sour tears
And broken mirrors.

Who would surrender
What bargain they had made
When time comes collecting?
But time did come,
And I gave you up.

How words seem harder
When they're at your feet
And not your mouth.

She had introduced me,
To Hello Poetry.

'Twas a day like none other,
I reached Amritsar for her.

Accompanying me that day,
Was my kind physiotherapist.

Yes, the very same physiotherapist,
Who I dubbed physio the ******,
For the pain used to be unbearable.

But no,
'Twas necessary for my betterment.

Coming back to Amritsar,
She was pleasantly surprised.

For she thought I'd play a prank,
Just like she had played one on me.

Giving me a false hope that she'll come,
Anyway, I went to her home.

I wished her on her birthday,
My physiotherapist went away.

I tuned her guitar as E A D G B E,
Eddy Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddy.

They laughed, her friends.
For who eats a Dynamite!

Well, that's the standard tuning,
Now I played a few songs.

Her friends were impressed,
Of me, she was proud.

I presented her a pen drive,
A Gaņesha adorned drive.

She loved it,
And thanked me.

After the party, she insisted that I stay,
I slept beside her father.

She shook me awake, and I was like,
"Who are you," she put her hand.

"Shh, it's me," she whispered,
I understood and relaxed.

She kissed me again at 3:30 a.m. on 24th,
This time I was awake and gave her my warmth.

Later, before sunrise, I went to the Station,
I had united with my Physio The ******.

I hugged her for one last time,
And we climbed on the train back.

Now nothing remains but memories,
Bitter ones to be more precise.

She cheated on me in 2015-16,
When I couldn't go to Amritsar.

My former best friend capitalised,
The ******* induced the breakup.

But that girl, who got so easily seduced,
She Wasn't Sad — Droņa Wept Like Kids.

And the immortal Droņa died,
Unable to trust anyone again.

Cry
Crying is not a weakness,
It shows that you're strong
It's your choice
To cry when you want
Be strong
Regardless of what people say,
Cry
Till your tears dry
On their own

what do you think of when I say flood?
gushing water breaking through a dam?
overtaking things not meant to be wet?
the land below wave more than just sand?
well it did feel like that.
held my cup of unused tears
held them back; i can’t cry
not in a million years
but as i went to press a button
not important of any sort
i held the cup in one hand
and with the same i pressed my floor
then it happened.
nothing then all at once.
my cup tipped over and a few tears
spilt in a little pearly bunch
they pattered onto marble
floor of the white lift
oh no now they know
the walls know i slipped
it wasn't on purpose
but they’ll say its a lie
i have to run
no time to say goodbye.
inspired by my friend, who didn't mean to cry in class but her bottle was just too packed.
