Every pigments flash
before our eyes
too fast, too bright
we couldn't grasp,
we couldn't keep up,
we couldn't stop.

Strive to move,
soar to fly.
It will never halt,
it will never falter
Be strong,
Be brave,
live.
We have to endure :)

Every night
And everyday
He searched for
Something to say

Upset
Feeling insecure
He returned home
With nothing to say

He said
He wanted to do something
That would change his life
And make everything alright

He said
He needed to be somewhere
Never really told where
But said it was far from here


And when I asked him
Why was he so desperate
Why did he want it to change
He had nothing to say

When I asked him
What made him a house of curiosity
And made his life a mystery
He just had nothing to say
For those who suffer and change in the hard times.

I saw you there the other day...
With that snide look on your face.

I wanted to say something but your greeting was all I could care to stomach...

I don't remember things ever being so bitter between us

I keep thinking that its me...
But I don't think I could of sliced it so nicely...

When you come from nothing
and you manage to float along
without encouragement or loving,
just basic sad songs.

You grow into something troubling,
and it doesn't take long
before you're only shrugging
when someone who used to be a friend
asks you what's wrong.

I'm only saying this because I was that something
after living without love for so long,
I was broken and struggling
and there was no proper way to get on.

Because this world owes you nothing,
not even a dad and a mom
I accepted that and gave up trusting
Maybe that's where I went wrong?
yup.

Life is difficult.
It has struggles and hardships.
People don't understand,
The pain of broken promises.
Betrayal is quite common.
No one really seems to care.
You start to realize it when you're hurt,
And no one is there.
Remember that friend that had your back?
Where is she now?
Did she hurt you really bad?
Is that where you got your dark cloud?
That dark cloud is sadness.
It's taking control of your life.
You feel there's nothing you can do.
Even if you try with all your might.
But some days are better,
They're filled with joy and hope.
Maybe someone kept their promise,
They didn't treat you like a joke.
But that's the way life is,
You fall and are told to get back up.
But sometimes you need a dark cloud,
To truly know that what you have in life is enough.
Life can be hard but just know that you're strong enough to get through it!

I really don't know anymore;
Life changes;
The world changes;
People change;
It's hard out here;
Being lonely;
Having no one to be with;
I truly don't know;
Why am I here?
I just come here to right poems when I'm feeling down

Being sums baffling
And nothing to do
It seems only that
The bird willing to fly without wing!

Later some time one thing is cent
Try, try and try again only do
Nothing better offing , pages are closing
And for all sadness and yawning is prevalent!!

If anyone of them is audacious
Leaving the condition as it is
He does somethinthing which gives pleasure
Not to be killer of time he thinks time is precious!!!
In the exam room when i fully tried but i found myself unable to solve problems i raher preffered to sketch the drawing of beautiful lady teacher which was on duty in that exam room in the back side of exam sheet , when she came to me to collect the sheet she saw that sketch and she smiled with bright eyes which gave me enough impulsion to write these lines

I can no longer look in the mirror
Without seeing
Someone I don't recognize

I took a wrong turn
And this is where I end up
When can I create my own path
One for just me
Just myself and no one else
I still have a ways to go on this road
Before I find my own
But
What if I hate who I am
And I need to escape

You see,
This road of mine is ideal
I can be who I am
Yet nobody gets hurt
Not even I

I'll keep to myself,
I'm good at that
But I'll live my life at the same time

It's perfect.
Unlike me.
