#stranded
My car all gleaming clean
I took good care of her — Always.
Know what I mean?
Then and there she broke down
As a king whose lost his crown
But... of this I am thankful
Know what I mean!
Just...sitting here
in the door frame looking out
Desert in bloom
The bees all a-buzz
soft gentle breeze
blowing across the space
And...
No more rushing rushing rushing
Just simple existence in a
world filled with....

You get overwhelmed.
There's always so much happening at once,
You’re left wondering what you’re even supposed to do.
It’s hard to focus on just one thing,
So you end up getting nothing done;
Then you feel like ****
Where do you even start,
With literally anything?
You’re exhausted just thinking about it,
Yet everyone around you says,”Just get it done.”
It’s not that easy.
Nobody knows what's going on behind the scenes,
How truly mentally and physically drained you are,
Especially when your mind is non-stop.
You just think “if I jumped and hit rock bottom,
would it make a **** sound?”
You’re feeling lonely,
But you want to be left alone.
You wish someone understood,
Someone you could talk to without judgment.
But they don’t seem to exist,
So you as well cease to exist.
You’re convinced life's not fair,
It never will be;
Just an empty shell like your soul already left.
You’ve sat and stared,
At a blank TV longer than you should;
***** dishes,
***** clothes,
Trash all pile up;
Yet for some **** reason,
Nobody wants you to give up.
Your starving stomach,
Consuming itself,
Cant get up,
Wont eat.
Forget cooking;
A task that will go incomplete.
Don’t want to get up on your feet,
Select your life,
Hit delete.
If depression was currency,
You’d have immense wealth,
Still no energy,
To care about your health.
People around you they pretend to care;
They ask if your okay,
If they ******* dare.
You’ll just lie to their face,
And pretend you’re fine,
Telling the truth would be crossing the line.
Feeling like if you stand up you’ll just fall over,
Your brains a glass full of mud,
Bound to flow over.
But then I stop.
I catch the reflection in the glass behind the door,
The one i’ve been talking to,
Pacing the floor.
Broken and stranded,
With words I've never spoken,
I see the defeated symbol,
That of which I've been branded.
I realize then the person I've been hating,
The one I've been ruthlessly berating…
Is just me.

You said you’d build me a boat
for all the drowning I’ve done.
But you never said who’d row it,
or what happens when it’s gone.
The tides don’t stop for promises,
They never have before.
So I’ll keep my head above the waves
until I can’t anymore.
Maybe I'll drown on purpose,
This time I won't fight.
But now the ocean won't take me,
She doesn't have the time.

Across the world, there are many
Energy production sites that produce
More energy than can be used locally.
This is stranded or isolated energy since
Electricity is difficult to send over distance.
Therefore
We need a power consumer who can use
This stranded energy anywhere on earth.
Bitcoin is providing solutions right now
To this problem, and here are the top
Six where Bitcoin is a working solution.
Stranded Natural Gas - typically flared, Bitcoin miners use the energy, reducing methane.
Geothermal Energy - often produces more energy than a local grid can use. Bitcoin steps in.
Hydropower - seasonally variable, Bitcoin is a flexible consumer when supply is high.
Solar and Wind - intermittent, Bitcoin mining consumes surplus during high production.
Landfill Gas - produces methane, and Bitcoin captures this methane for mining.
Remote Locations - such as small hydro dams, biomass plants, or remote oil fields.

I'm sick, so sick of the cold
the sun beckons me
Want, wanting for more
than this dull city
Seek, seeking the waves
that crash so clearly
Miss, missing the breeze
that revived me
Feeling lost in black and white
I am craving color
Want nothing more than to take flight
Long for eternal summer
Marooned!
Mainland
Cry into my cold hands
Can't wait any longer
My hope's being slaughtered
I lost my Atlantis
Can no longer stand it
Alone in this place
Marooned
How, how many years and
Can I make it
Hold, holding back tears
I have to fake it
Fight, fight for control
Know if they see it
All, all will be lost
I'd rather die
Clinging to the songs that say
(I cannot make it) (I can make it!)
Broken down (Beyond repair?)
Long for this to be over
Marooned!
Mainland
Comforted by dark hands
Can't wait any longer
The anger burns hotter
My mind running rampant
Please, I cannot stand it
Split, torn, and twisted
Marooned
In my dreams
The mountains tower above me
Ocean waves crash below me
And the wind flurries around me
While the sun warms inside me
In my dreams
I am finally home
And I wish that I'd never wake up
I wonder, can I last another day?
Marooned!
Mainland
Reaching out with cold hands
Can't wait any longer
The pain's getting stronger
The home that I long for
Gets farther and farther
Can't take anymore
Marooned

•°• A Twisted Classic •°•
Here is the church
Here is the steeple
Open the door
And see all the evil
...see all the people,
stranded in a free fall,
falling for the lure of lore,
but there's nothing at all...

This incident happened more than five years ago
It was a Tuesday
And I'd gone to office as usual
Which involved a long commute
From Powai to Lower Parel
By the famous Mumbai locals
A typically exhausting commute
Made worse by the fact that it was the month of August
And therefore I had to deal with the rains as well
Something seemed to be off
As far as that particular day was concerned
Quite a few of my candidates
Were not responding to my calls
And what was worse
Was the fact that it was raining cats and dogs
In fact, my boss, who was on the way to office
Got stuck somewhere in between
And ultimately gave up the ghost
Deciding to work from home instead!!
He also instructed me and my colleague to leave office
As soon as we were done with all our critical work
Since we both had brought our lunch
We decided to leave after eating
However, our troubles for the day
Were just about to begin
It was raining heavier than ever
Just as we left office
Accompanied by an acquaintance
Trains were not running on the Western line
Thus, we were forced to walk all the way to Currey Road
Instead of Lower Parel, which was much nearer
Meanwhile, my colleague, who was residing in Girgaum
Decided to take a taxi home
While our acquaintance gave me company
Since his home was near Sion
Which falls on the Central line
And is on the way to Vikhroli
Where I was supposed to get down
However, just as we entered Currey Road station
The enormity of the situation
Struck us with the force of a bullet
There was a sea of people
And a rope was placed in the middle of the platform
In order to control the crowd
On the left side of the platform, there was a local
Which was apparently stuck there for quite some time
And on the right, the track was heavily waterlogged
All these were ominous signs
That something was seriously wrong
Well, we boarded the local
And were lucky to get seats
It was a silver lining
In the darkness that was about to follow
The train was in no hurry to depart
Whenever I heard the sound of its motors
My heart would leap with a mixture of joy and relief
Since it seemed to indicate that we would start soon
However, it didn't take me long to realise
That all my hopes had been dashed
The fact was that the motors had to be switched on and off
Every now and then
Just in order to keep the engine running
In the middle of all the chaos caused by the rains
Yes, the situation was so chaotic
That a few reporters had a field day
Meanwhile, I checked in on my colleague
And his feeble voice told its own story
He had to walk all the way
From Mumbai Central, where the taxi was forced to drop him
Till his home in Girgaum!!
Moreover, our acquaintance invited me to walk with him till Sion
So that we could have an adventure!!
However, I was in absolutely no mood for such stuff
As all I wanted, was to reach home in one piece
No matter how long it took
However, the hours slowly tricked by
And the local showed absolutely no signs of moving
Again though, there was a silver lining
In the middle of all this darkness
A Marathi NGO magnificently rose to the occasion
And started distributing packets of food to the stranded passengers
It was truly like a godsend
And helped me keep my wits about
As afternoon turned to evening
And evening to night
While the water on the right side track
Was rising higher and higher
And it soon dawned on me
That the unthinkable was about to happen
That is, I had no choice
But to spend the night at Currey Road station!!!
Yes, it was an unpleasant situation indeed
But I decided to face it anyway
Since the station was a safe place after all
And as we all know
One is always safer in a crowd
Of course, sleeping wasn't going to be an easy task
I tried various positions
Each more uncomfortable than the other
Before finally dropping off to sleep
More out of sheer exhaustion than anything else
When I eventually woke up
Things were slowly limping back to normal
Trains had started moving in the opposite direction
Eventually we departed as well
Though at a snail's pace
And had a few unscheduled stops on the way
When we reached Sion, there came the next twist in the tale
We were stuck for one and a half hours
And I began to fear
That history would repeat itself
However, God was merciful enough
To ensure that it didn't happen
In fact, after we crossed Kurla
We resumed our usual pace
And reached Vikhroli in almost no time
I was home by around 11 am
And was greeted by my family
Who were thoroughly relieved
And also full of praise
Since I had maintained my cool
In such a difficult and unforeseen situation
Ultimately, it had turned out to be an adventure worth reliving
Even if not the kind of adventure
That the acquaintance had embarked upon
And wanted me to be part of

The Sun is setting but the heat keeps rising
And as the moon comes up I look for all the hope I'm not finding
I look for escape but there's only 2 left in the pack
I'm just so tempted to leave and promise I'm coming back
There's a stench Eminating from my home and it's not the trash
I'm drenched in fear, im not alone and it's spreading like a rash
There's only so much time left but I can't think fast enough
I'm under all this stress and heat but still not a diamond in the rough

relationships
are water on the rock
erosion
rust on iron
corrosion
a match to nitroglycerin
explosions
it's love undeniable
minor indiscretions unbeknownst to you
picked apart
it's having someone reliable
to leave you stranded and alone in your moments dark
joy undescribable
when you're stabbed in the heart

Master of Arts
The soul of mine, I cannot find!
I’m lost in the ocean, amongst crashing waves — I’m almost blind!
Mastering of Arts, I beg of you — let the fates be kind
I have been good, haven’t I?
I’ve fed my body well and kept my healthy veins —
... my mistake was that I hadn’t fed another
anything but grains —
But, I don’t understand? I too am a man!
with needs of my own, and I support a wealthy land!
I have wives that lay by me, I feed them well with my hand
Is that not enough for you master? Sight o’foreseeable! What comes of me now? too lay like a fish? I hope that comes by faster!
The waves ripple,
the water crashing by at my feet
I scatter away, frightened by the coming dribble
The sky was turning dark — an upcoming storm was to pass by, I had no shelter and nothing here to eat
My stomach growled, too loud of a sound
It had been awhile since it’d done that, I was always kept satisfied
Now, nothing’s here — not fishes nor ground
The sky roared, electrified
The storm was approaching too soon!
No blues, No light loomed
Overhead. Only the thundering boom.
Too much to bear! Too much too weigh!
Oh Master of Arts!
I’m sorry I hadn’t looked down the lanes!
I saw them too, Ah! They had been too frail and somber!
Starving all day!
Forgive me, Master! I won’t make another...
the seas are crashing courses with their waves,
Stronger each time, “I don’t have all day to be saved!”
But lightning struck, and I swore to keep my place in line
now isn’t the time to be a swine!
Selfishness is another seed to be taken, enough to make you blind
Master of Arts
I swear to you,
I’ll pay more mind
to the frail, aching bodies of the souls
in need
I have enough — I swear it! — to feed!
Master of Arts,
Let the fates be kind..
I swear I have changed, my mind, my acts, my scroll
Amidst all
I have realized
My role

Rehearsed confessions they'll never hear
Single-file tears they'll never see
Panicked thoughts run wild
Anxious emotions that will never be free
Because after all there's nothing wrong with me
Wearing my flawless masks
Riddled with smiles that don't belong to me
And so all my answers remained the same
My entire life brought together in
automated responses

Eyes so gray
as storm clouds gather
and heaven looks away
the wind comes strong
and what is left of me
crashes against the rocks
the rest of me goes astray.

Maximum threshold
The pain multiplied tenfold
It's raining outside
Shipwrecked and stranded
On the mast, wait for sunset
This goes on for days
Starving and marooned
Here comes forth a mighty swoon
Staring at the moon
Now comes a big wave
It could easily drown you
Sapped of your last strength
A bright light beams down
A helicopter above!
Deep breath, you've been found
Something isn't right
The copter is out of gas
Alas, it crashes
It was meant to be
The hands of fate decided
Both wash out to sea

If all these people hated me
will you hate me as well?
If all these people laugh at me
will you laugh with them?
If all these people left me stranded
will you leave me as well?
Well, everything is left unsaid

A sailor without a
ship
A shoulder missing a
chip
Chaotic control slipping off my
grip
Chained to unreasonable
complacence
Calmness as a God
You disappear into
the fog
While life sails on by
singing sweet goodbyes

All at once
Or nothing at all—
I’m falling—
Blackhole kind of lovely lines
Cutting cross my angled fists
These endless daunting lists I fill to burn.

Love comes with the season.
Or so they say.
But the seasons come and go.
So, do we play??
We are stranded here, off love...
Do we stay??

I’m starting to feel
Less and less poetic
Like a part of me
Is slowly being drained
But not replaced
Hollow and shallow
I cannot not be a poet
For it has grown to be
A huge important part of me
Assisting in who I am
And what I want to be
But I already feel stranded
Far out in the sea

Flashing back to the day when i was hated
Stray me was stranded
I did nothing but everything's just graded
Innocent me was cheated
Some mistakes have been banded
Anger won't be melted
Sweetner brought a bitter at taste
All i want is being faded
Shout out to universe, wish it would be granted

Stranded on a deserted island,
Confused and terrified
With nothing on her hand
Struggles to think straight by the seaside
Her soul screams
As she lies down on the hot sand
For her life seems so faraway
Reality becomes a nightmare
Even on the sunniest, clear sky day
Feels like a moonless, pitch-black night to her
Although the swaying palm trees give out a warm breeze,
It's still unlike the warmth she feels at home

Well... sometimes I wish I could be alone, and sometimes I really feel alone. And it's a nice feeling for the most part. But having people who you can trust and be open with and love is always a nice thought. Despite the fact that most of the time they leave you stranded and isolated... but that's the beauty of numbness
