In this season of death,
We walk the hollowed halls,
Deep within our own minds,
Stroll through the graveyards,
Of broken promises and lost dreams,
The thinning Vail reminds
Us of the loved ones lost,
And the sunnier days we had with them,
The days grow shorter and colder,
But death is such a beautiful entity,
In that with death comes new life,
Each peril comes a decision,
A chance to create beauty from the ashes,
Every choice made, Through and to conclusions,
Is a chance to rise from the previous cinders,
Even through the end of our knowledge,
Where life is unknown,
And we face uncertainty, We have the ability,
To face a new type of life.

It would be fun to party
Perhaps if there was no oppression
Maybe then I could lay back and relax
And run my hands through the sand without thoughts of a failing society
Of course I would love to travel and tell stories of my ventures
But I probably won't because I could honestly care less
I just want the world to be a little less chaotic
So that I can party
I stopped believing in love; because all I see is agony and heartbreak. It has been more than 445 days when things started to collapse. Your ignorance is unlike anything I have seen before. Much as I have been analysing your situation from different angles, there is nothing left to dig into. I am left alone; puzzled and hooked on the unknown…

I thought I saw heaven on the other side, but you were an incredibly deceiving black-hole. You should know that I’m entitled to this rage as much as you are entitled to the choice you made to leave me forsaken. Your traces are deep wounds, and they are yet extremely sore. Thus, I have no other option, but to shed tears more, and more…

Recalling the past is an incurable disease. You seem to have successfully latched onto my system. But do not get me wrong; I contemn the bitterness as I remember what we used to be. It is not a mystery that you strangely implicate the choices I make, and all the steps I am going to take. It actually boils my blood to admit that I have an incentive greed. I need to think that I am crossing your mind every second of the day just like you do mine. Otherwise, what is the point of falling in and out of love?

Still, your silence defies each drop of faith, I have stored inside. You have a ruthless soul; I’ll give you that. Now tell me; by what means can I possibly pull you out of a bottomless heart?
It is a curse you see; once you got in, you never got out…
I hope this qualifies as poetry..

In the land of in between,
Where everything's hidden and everything's seen,
Where the unsure is sure and truth tells its lies,
And where everything's boring, yet full of surprise,
I hate in between because mystery lingers,
When words are a gun and you can't pull the trigger,
I run and I hide cause I want to be free,
But I keep ending up in the dark in between.
I refuse to be guilt tripped into being with someone!
I refuse to be made out the bad one!
I refuse to date a guy I only see as a friend!

I REFUSE!

I have every right to say NO!

I refuse to cry for a friendship that in the end won't even exist in 10 months time!

I will not let you hurt me, I will not give you that power.

I won't let you!
Ordinary people living ordinary life's being complete and happy,




Raging fear builds to anger in ignorant men by will of silent kisses,




Landing reason on anything related to news headlines and horrid religion,




Apple cells send out last messages to those helpless and without power,




Navigate your hand to pistols and pull the trigger, the coward among men,




Death lays at our feet now, not you, but us all in hugging hands,




Ordinary people living ordinary life's being complete and happy?
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

It saddened me how the sunflower was waiting for its moon, that never came

May the Seas dry and all the earth's creatures die.

Let the winds stop and fires reach the highest mountain top.

May the cease of rains extinguish life upon the greenest plains.

Let the world burn beyond any recognisable discern.

May all smiles turn to frowns and sadness fill the happiest of clowns.

Let grief and sadness suffer all for I take them with me as I fall.

my thoughts shout so loud i can't even understand what exactly they're all screaming, clutter clutter clutter

and i wonder what it'll feel like tonight as i sleep alone, knowing i too am alone for the first time in what feels so long- that your foot wont be there to touch mine and i can't hold on to you when i'm having a bad dream. i wonder if my thoughts will still yell so loudly or if there too I'll find silence.

i cannot fathom life without you but i surely will have to start

sweet oxygen fills me lungs
as i inhale a new start, a fresh
perspective of all that ive known
as i exhale your spite and
how i've always been second
best in your eyes.

darling i am much more than second best, and i cannot wait to love myself again.
