I won't stay forever
My ways lead to a place
That lies
Somewhere in the hills
Or may be, in the lonely woods.
.
.
Don't wait for me,
Don't fall for me,
Waste no time on me, please.
I may look like a daydream
But within me, I am a complete mess.
.
.
Even if you try hard
Or I try my best,
I won't stay forever
Cause I am afraid too much
To love someone
Someone like you!
. .
Waking up one day,
And realising that you are gone
Is my biggest nightmare
I'm not ready to lose anyone more
For I have already lost
Almost everything I had.
. .
Therefore, let me go
Somewhere in the hills
Or may be, in the lonely woods!

Sleepless nights
Breathless days
Tear filled eyes
Drowning minds

It is an eternal winter
Or a thousand year darkness
Perhaps a never ending storm
It is every bad thing that can happen

It is hard to not feel hopeless
It is hard to not doubt
I have no assurance
I could only hope

Hope for spring to come again
Hope for sunrise and daylight
Hope for a clear, blue sky
Hope for the best

But for now,
I have to feel the coldness of winter to appreciate the blooming flowers of spring
I have to be in dusk to see the sunrise and feel its warmth
I have to bathe in the rain to get a glimpse of ocean blue sky
I have to experience hell
To be in heaven

Why am I never enough?

The ones who are older than I always say I’m trying to hard to grow up.
They say I’m good at pretending to be an adult, good at pretending to be successful, good at pretending to have my **** together.
They also say that it’s all fake.

They say I’m just a child wearing adult shoes, they tell me I’m not cut out for the responsibilities that I’ve taken on.
They tell me that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew.

But I would rather choke on my dreams than nibble on their idea of success.

Everyone younger than I am
thinks that I’m wise.
They come to me with advice, they unburden themselves of their problems, only to lay them on my shoulders.

They have taken my extended hand and tied anchors too it.
They don’t understand that the biggest anchor is already tied to my throat, pulling me down deeper than any of theirs could.
They don’t realize that I have my own baggage, and that sometimes I can’t handle everyone else’s too.

Today is one of those days.
My elders are filling me with doubt while the younger ones are angry that I’m too far underwater to carry their weight.

Why am I never enough?

on a night like this
i kissed your lips goodbye
for you were headed into tomorrow
and i to the sweet summer sky

What if parallel universe really do exist?

I hope its true,
and there's a never-ending me & you.
And in this never-ending universe there's
a chance for us.
A world where we can be who we want,
a world where we can be carefree, a world
where we can be down.
A world where we can be together.

I hope its true.
I hope its true,
that there's a world where the word 'us' is true.
But in this world... its just 'me' and its
just 'you'.

You never know ,
How they put a smile on their face,
And our bitter words,
hurt them even further.
They become more alone,
When we don't want to,
understand what they say,
And this feeling hurts a lot.

You never know,
How they sleep at night ,
How they suppresses their thoughts,
And questioning their will to wake-up.

You never know ,
How they put their words in a poem,
That they feels good,
But People don't like that either.
Just be good , show kindness might makes the things easier for them.

i could carve the moon
out of the sky
and serve it on a silver platter
but still
it would not be enough

Never tell me you'll love me if you just end up disappearing on me
Never tell me all the pain you've faced if we couldn't face them together
Never tell me you won't hurt me if you'll leave me regretting everything
Never tell me you're here for me when you hardly see what I'm saying with my eyes
Never tell me to keep my promises if all you do is break every promise you made
Never tell me to love you unconditionally if you give conditions to your love
Never tell me you'll be my sun if you're the darkness that has no ending
Never tell me you're sorry if you keep doing everything you apologize for time after time
Never tell me you are my everything if all you do is take everything precious to me
Never tell me you're complicated if you think all i do is complicate things
Never tell me you feel alone if all you do is push me farther and farther
Never tell me you know me when you don't know the conversations i have in the dark
Never tell me all you did for me if all you did was make hate the time i wasted
Never tell me you tried your best if your best meant doing nothing
Never tell me you'll the fix the pieces if all you did was make smaller pieces
Never tell me anything ..Never tell me lies

If he held me again today
I'd collapse into his being
In anger and regret
And thankfulness
Otherwise there'd be no change
He was once all of my heart and mind
Not only occupying my thoughts
Fogging them
I did not think of me
I thought of us
A fragile concept
One of the past

If he held me again today
It would be the last

the more I endure
the more it hurts
the more I smile
the better it gets
because every smile
has the power
to uplift the pain and sorrows
keeping smiling please, smile your way through it all and never give in to the pain that lingers within....
