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.

I’m afraid—
afraid of the new,
afraid of being alone.
I think that when I move
into the new house,
the emptiness will settle in
so deeply
I might break.
I just hope
this weight on my chest
isn’t here to stay.

i should be resting
the bustling cars changed to windy fields
i should be thriving
finally safe to take off the mask of secrecy
but why can i hear the injustice louder
the farther i go
why do i feel the call even stronger
when i just let go
is it not my dream to be free
the happy-go-lucky
yet it still feels like I’m pretending
the pain is alive somewhere, beating

Changes are inexorable
Can't repel changes in life
Is life forcing me to change
Best friends now are aliens
My lover no longer send a text
Because change made her my ex
For the sake of mental health
Have to forget
Adapt it,learn to grin
Accept the changes
For peace start from the mind
I choose eunoia

Some departures we choose,
and some departures are forced upon us—
They arrive with the weight of mountains,
practiced in hesitant steps,
as if dragging the entire world behind us.
We move forward a little... then glance back a little,
for behind us lie things, dreams, souls,
to which our hearts remain tethered.

It's the balance that keeps.
One way of perceiving just won't do,
so slow it all down to get a different point of view.
I know that things won't stay the same because this world is always changing; the joy inside this pain will assist the growth.
So I draw close to the most high and meditate on his word and cope,
healing in time by widening the scope.

Loving you is the best thing
I can do! I want to spend
Forever with you and with
Everyday that passes I
Can't wait to be your wife!
Having you in my life has made my life better
And I can't image it without you
Nor do I want to think of that.
Going with you to baseball games, shopping, or just
Evenings at the gym or home as long as I'm
Spending time with you, I am happy!
I love you!

Anyone who tells you that you have forever is lying to you. Anyone who tells you that things will never change is lying to you. Anyone who tells you that people don’t change is lying to you. And anyone who tells you all of these above mentioned things are true is the only one being true to you.

They say when life hands you lemons make lemonade
But how can I do that in the pouring rain
When I'm all out of sugar
And misplaced my pitcher and cup
It feels like there's no way to whip it up
So I'm stuck with these lemons
And nothing to do
Oh how I wish I could make a switcheroo
I'd chose something sweeter than lemons
But I can't and I won't
So I guess I'll stick with this poem that I wrote
