#pleaseread
Empty, light and dull,
My school bag rests on one of the walls,
Once full with books notebooks and pens,
Now bear and deserted it looks small.
Yesterday, while clearing my shelf,
My class VIII classwork notebook popped up,
Those were also the days,
When our copies were neatly covered up.
These days I sleep late at night
because Now there is no waking up early rule,
These days I wake up at nine,
As now I am not running late for school.
My wardrobe is full of colourful shirts
But wearing the white one daily I miss,
No sport shoe can ever match
Wearing white PT shoes bliss.
While searching for a bowl I found my Tiffin,
But there was no lunch in it
Also there aren’t those people around,
Who jumped attacked and finished it within a minute.
I still hear the interval bell,
In front of my TV when I sit,
I still hear those gossips and laughs,
While finishing my meal, those several hands I miss.
I was bored of studying the subject,
But I had no water bottle to fill,
And no school corridors to take a round,
I realised it wasnt the fifth lesson in school,
So I quietly turned back to my musics sound.
Every time I doodle
I remember bulletin board
I remember my house duties
Every time my nail grows
It’s raining and snowing these days
But nothing is as fresh as sitting next to the window in the class
Blankets in Quilt dont allow us to get out of our beds,
But nothing is as cosy asSitting on the seat at the last.
Donning my new dress, I was getting my picture clicked,
But it wasn’t as special as our last seat selfie,
CCD’s coffee was also not able to,
Match the taste of a canteen’s tea.
I go out of my home several times,
But never does it match the bunking thrill,
I take various Scooty rides,
But never am I able to showcase my reach school within five minutes skill.
Every time I get a call from my classmate,
Our whispers I miss,
Every second every hour every day
For those days to return I wish
At 2:00 in the noon
I go to bed for my nap
I miss returning Home from school
I wish those days could be swapped..
Sometimes we don’t realise
How the smallest things have a large part to play
And as the days passed, and time flies by,
It’s only memories that we are left with to say.
Every single thing at home
Reminds me of school life
I want to relive those golden days
Just one more time.
A couple of months from now
We will officially be ex schoolites
Teachers scoldings punishments and failures
After that For every single moment we will strive.

30 on the speed limit 90 on the dash
I'm driving reckless I don't even care if I crash
Told the homies I was just going for a drive to get some air
But I'm swerving thru all the lanes and no pain can compare
To what I feel inside
I think I wanna die
I just lost my best friend
I can't do nothing but cry
I'm glad I saw her on her last day I don't know why
Why'd you have to leave me here and go to the sky
Toni why
How can I do this life without you
You were in Florida but I was all about you
My favorite aunt, we was joined at the hip
My favorite person, how could I ever forget
You used to get me all those things
Those kisses that would sting
My love for was never material
Now for you I sing
Like why
You only had one vice
I never met a person that was that nice
The soul of an Angel and you had the mood too
I don't know why it was Florida you had to move to
But I wasn't around then, what could I say
I talk to you more now than I did in your days
I'm crying now, I wish you could've stayed
I guess God has to take his best angels away
But it's ok because I know you're in a better place
And whenever there's a butterfly I see your face
A kind soul no one could ever replace
Someone that was too good for this human race
I'm running outta words to put on the page
I'm sure you would've loved Luke Cage
Since you been gone I done things you'd be ashamed of
I wish I could show you all the things I'm made of
I don't want to be someone you're afraid of
I hope whatever happens, you still have the same love
I really hope you can see me
Sometimes it's really hard just to be me
I'm learning one day at a time
Not a day goes by you're not on my mind
There's always something around here to remind
Myself of something I will never find
In Toni's passing, she will always shine
Maybe I had to let go of what wasn't mine
You deserved more than what you gained
Uncle d told me about that guy that left you in the rain
He took advantage of your kindness it brings me pain
Makes me wonder how many people did the same
I really wish I could make him feel the blame
But you'd never see me the same again
Turn the other cheek is what you taught me then
Hopefully for you heaven let's me in
Losing you really made me cold
This world is hard without your hand to hold
But no matter what, Toni I gotta stay bold
I promise to be strong for you, never fold

We're all little butterflies,
Some of us are bigger than others,
And some of us are tiny.
No matter what happens,
You have to keep going.
Life is the air we struggle to fly through.
The air is contaminated,
So some of us have a hard time breathing.
There are tornadoes,
Which the bigger butterflies can easily fly through,
While the tiny ones get swept away.
Life is something we all try to fly through,
But most don't survive.
Then there are the ones who like to capture us,
The ones we call "Society".
They put us in jars and we are confined,
There is no space to just fly and be free.
They like to judge us,
Watch us struggle to be free for their own entertainment.
Life is the air we fly in.
Society is the thing that confines us.
And we...
Are the butterflies who try to brave through it all.
Some survive,
While others don't.

She loves her.
She loved her
with little rays of sunshine
and
Pitter patter tears.
Her love was like dew drops
on grass blades
on a misty morning.
Like a butterfly loitering around a little girl.
Like money on a starved beggars hand.
It was a humane love
built with
illogical trust and belief.
It was made of burnt bricks
of built up grief and an exhaustion
which comes from an eternal search
for a handful of love.
Her love was the size of her soul.
It was next to everything she would own even after death.
