In the age of
Idiocracy and oblivion

Choose
What you believe in
Choose
Who you believe in

Make them see
Make them listen
Make them realize

You are a piece of life
As well
On par with them
Lavanya Jain Jun 2020
It was a late midnight
and the radium stars on the ceiling wall were shining bright.
The wheather was pleasant,
the aura was warm.
I was sleeping with Noddy, in my arms.
Then A sudden heaviness in my head
broke my sleep
The pain was growing so steep
That I couldn't get up.
I tried to drub
but Some thing was pulling me in my bed.
I could feel something leak
out of my nose.
It was blood , spurting out
flinging the coze.
Severe nosebleeds,
was a common symptom
of my disease.
But this one was differing,
My nose was blistering.
I knew it cause I've had many before
But this time my throat became sore
And soon i lost all control over my nose,
All I could do was doze.
My mind, I tried to divert,
So I looked for Noddy,
his cap was as red as his shirt.
Then I tried to call for aid
But by now not just my head
also my arms and legs
heftly weighed.
The pain was only growing more,
worse, than ever before.
It was as if the red water was flooding,
Unstoppably my nose was bleeding
Then with a sudden strangeness,
something leashed my lungs
Now I was breathless.
I don't wanna a die, I wanna play with my dolls,
I spoke to the dream catcher ,
That hung on the wall.
I was ailing and weak
my vission was turning bleak.
Soon i was left with none.
All I feared, was oblivion.

Numbed & dumbed
Into a void of oblivion
So far beyond the grasp of reality
My face is not my face but a doormat

Numbed & dumbed
A skull left to frighten
Watching you dance through little mirrors stuck in the eye socket
Peering, admiring
But who, admires who more?

But the skeleton, oh he stares, stares right back at you
With eyes crooning and booing
And me boohooing
The crowds tough

I keep writing about you
day in and day out
I can’t help it
the words possess me
then keep me up at night
I’m jolted out of bed
just to breathe life
into these blank pages
now tainted with your name
verses about the way
you made me feel
stories about the love
that never existed

But what is it all for?
I look up and only your
o b l i v i o n
stares back at me

I wish for once I was his favourite thing that he would fear to lose , you know when you desire to be their last and forever kind of thing  but I guess sometimes that’s not the plan and people move on . The sad truth .
To you dear Oblivion,
How you teach us to move on
From warmth and attachments —
All dearest sentiments
Where our world once revolved around,
Sweet mem'ries in which we were bound !
To wane such longings we had fears,
But now you leave them dry of tears !

— Tanushree Chakraborty
This one is to all those relationships which once used to be so important to us. But they had to end one day and we moved on in course of time and hence they lost the importance all along.

Circling around an endless Oblivion
My mind says to get out of it, yet my heart says otherwise.

Shall I listen to my heart or my mind
I know I can’t choose both…

What should I do, What if my mind take the control?
I need my heart too, I want my sanity back

It’s too soon to let go of it
I want out from this Oblivion

I want to be real again
What should I do, Show me what to do…

Someone, lead the way out of it.
I might hit the ground when it starts raining for real

it’s okay if I can be me again…
Wither Bloodfall Apr 2020
There, I sit alone
In the empty voided room
Pondering what I could’ve done different
My hands were shaking
My mind was breaking
Such momentum could’ve killed a goddess
I look to the right
Nothing was left
I looked to the left
Nothing felt right
Squinting eyes to my surprise
Was the best choice in my entire life
I saw myself
My pale skin and scalp
My black hair and red eyes
That reflection upon the blackened skies
The day I understood myself torn
I was a monster with many forms
Fear me for I am the chaos
Fear me for i am the storm.
