Who am i really you ask me as we sit out on this curb i say i don't know but as i speak the words, i know that i'm lying to myself If i am a puzzle i've got a few pieces figured out more are coming daily but let me speak these out loud i swear i won't be too long i am a smart-alec a true know-it-all a hypocrite and i hurt those close to me and i can't see it any sometimes i speak too much sometimes not at all but this is who i really am this is who i really am your patience is wire thin but continue i must and i do who i am really i'm fun naive girl who has too much of this nasty world my past is horrible but my future's bright and i know not everyone everywhere will accept everything of me some will want pieces some will want all and i'm alright with that i am a smart and musical teenage girl just growing up too wise for my age i feel like a mage but that's just me oh oh oh oh yeah yes that's just me That's just me

Who I Really Am
Time didn’t knock. It barged in ripping childhood from our fists like a thief in daylight. The girls we played tag with? Now wear gold chains and bridal sarees, their mothers whispering, “Find a good groom before it’s too late.” The apus who once cursed physics exams now cradle babies, their laughter echoing in kitchens we never entered. And the vaiyas those college gods we once feared, we used to ask, “How does it feel to be grown?” Now we know. And it’s not gentle. It’s brutal. It’s fast. It’s nineteen years old and already nostalgic. We used to dream of this age now we mourn it before it’s even over. We blinked. And the playground turned into wedding halls. The group chats turned into ghost towns. The selfies turned into memories we scroll past but never open. We are the last breath of college life. The final page before the next chapter writes itself without asking.

“Time Didn’t Knock—It Stormed In” (A Poem for the Ones Who Blinked and Grew Up)
Hope is a lie people cling to a lie they wish upon believing it But one day it'll disappear into the blue Watching your dreams shatter bit by bit Hope is a lie with feathers Silently waiting for you But once you get near it shatters runs away from you like an unsolved clue Hope is a lie, a cruel one One which leaves you waiting for more and when your happiness reaches its peak It leaves you broken and alone It leaves you shaken from the bones to the core It leaves you empty and feeling like a freak Hope is a lie, many learned to be careful fromButt those unfortunate souls dressing for prom thinking they're going to get their prince But leaves the floor drunk from drinks And so goes for love making a fool of us tricking us, making us think we're above The heartbreak it does is treasonous

Hope is a Cruel Lie
Living a Vegan Lifestyle Must be real nice But it’s really funny because poor can’t afford to eat like Vegan So it’s true, survival of fittest Cuz if you don’t eat like Vegan, You need to supplement with other resources With dying pigs and chickens in Hell Farm that’s what we call it We all know about it They bash in chicks head But it’s really funny Cuz even we know about it It’s hard to change our habit Despite the obvious animal Cruelty, amongst everyone People seem to be against it It would ruin the fundamental of Mass production and consumerism, So the fault is it in all of us But it’s really funny Cuz no one want to take the Blame we shove it in to the Invisible man’s ideology of our time So who we ask ourselves Who’s the culprit and start Pointing finger to a scapegoat But we all wear the blame Literally I’m not kidding But it’s really funny No one really seem to care Too much greater problem With Global warming and such All around the world Give you headache Just to think about all the horror Let’s all be vegan, why not? And save the world by eating healthy
