Where are you from?
My answer is
Does it matter?
This question requires a five part answer

Where are you from?
When you say from?
Do you mean -
The road travel by me or my mom?

Where are you from?
If I say Somalia?
Will you leave it there?
Or ask me if I belong to the north, east or the south?  

Where you from, your accent is unfamiliar?
I know, language is imperative
when you're lost.

Where are you from?
The answer is nowhere
I am stranger to places
no matter where I call home.

The bells struck twelve, shimmering sound
Whispers in the gloom brushed by grass on the hill,
Without you, my heart cannot be found.

Flowers bloom and are torn from the ground,
I remember but can’t forget, I have lost my will,
The bells struck twelve, shimmering sound.

There could be no other loss so profound,
It’s not winter but I feel a bone-deep chill,
Without you, my heart cannot be found.

Some days I feel as though I only weigh a pound,
I feel free, like the spring bird and its singsong trill,
The bells strike twelve, shimmer and sound.

The last time our eyes met I almost drowned,
It was a thunderstorm, a supernova, a paint spill,
Without you, my heart will never be found.

Time spins in a blur, round and round,
It’s been two years since I’ve seen you, until
One day, the bells struck twelve, the shimmer of sound,
Without you, my heart was finally found.

Move

           to the
                     beat
        
                                of your own
                                                      soundtr­ack,


Before your ears are no longer moved by the notes.

Dot Dot Dot,
I write again with Dots,
Dot Dot Dot,
The Dot's form a shape,
Dot Dot Dot,
They form the shape of your face,
Dot Dot Dot,
I thought I moved away from your Dots,
Dot Dot Dot,
They continue to show me your face,
Dot Dot Dot,
The Dots still haunt me in my dreams,
Dot Dot Dot,
Leave me alone, I've moved on.

The colours of emotions
Was it a deceit?
Alas! Could it be egoism?
Which was yours?
Black Yellow White
A separate sensations that cannot be mixed
Consumed by confusion, it engulfed me with a silent sadness.
Being deceived can caused the other party to suffer. Egoism would lessen pain for the victim, but with these two opposite traits, a relationship may fall beyond repair..

never thought of moving on
now I'm glad we split off
loved you like I never loved anyone before
now I know my worth

I couldn't tell if you loved me
or just couldn't have anyone else
fool me that you care
now I know I'm rare

people ask if I miss you
but I don't find anything to miss
It took me a while
to get over what I thought it was life
now I'm wondering what did i like

you ****** me off
you want to have it all
now I know what I really want
I wish you the best
and
I need you to go
found peace and closed a "case" that made me weak.

ऐ दिल,न बैठ यूँ हार कर

उठ,संभाल ख़ुद को और

फ़िर किसी से मुलाक़ात कर

ऐ दिल तू फ़िर से प्यार कर।

        माना कि तुझे ग़म है उसके जाने का

        मग़र उसका तो इरादा ही था तुझे रुलाने का

       उसके दिए दर्द से न ख़ुद को यूँ परेशां कर

       ऐ दिल न बैठ यूँ हार कर,तू फ़िर से प्यार कर।

बिखर चुका है तू इस बात का एहसास है मुझे

उसकी यादों में तड़पता देखा है तुझे

उसकी यादों से अब तू ख़ुद को आज़ाद कर

ऐ दिल न बैठ यूँ हार कर,तू फिर से प्यार कर।

       उदास न हो,तू अकेला नहीं है

       हज़ारों दिल हर रोज़,टूटते हैं यंहा

       टूटे दिल के टुकड़ों को समेट और

       फ़िर एक नयी शुरुआत कर

       ऐ दिल न बैठ यूँ हार कर,तू फ़िर से प्यार कर।
  
हक़ न दे किसी को,जो तुझे रुला सके अब

अपनी खुशियों की शुरुआत तू ख़ुद से कर

तू ख़ुद पर रख यकीं और न अब किसी पर ऐतबार कर

ऐ दिल न बैठ यूँ हार कर,तू फ़िर से प्यार कर

ऐ दिल न बैठ यूँ हार कर,तू फ़िर से प्यार कर।।

I painted the fences today
My hands in grey
Can't bear any delay
I count on the moments
Spended with my opponents
Cause they're my lovely proponents!

I'm so tired

It's obvious what I am tired of.
I'm tired of living the life I have,
but I can't stand the idea of making it worse.

Aren't we all afraid -
the grass might always be greener on the other side,
but it's always safer to stay on your own lawn
instead of tempting neighbours to
treat your trespassing kindly.

"It'll only be a second, I'm trying to get somewhere better."

"Kid, you better get back on your own side..."

"Please, I only need to find something to live for."

"This is the last time I'm going to warn you...kid"

There's a fire raging through your life
and the only solace you've been granted
is the one that leaves you dangling
with a perspective half-cocked
towards living and the other towards penance.
We can wait for the safest moment to make changes in our lives, or we can do what makes us happy.
