Entwined in each other’s arms,

It wasn’t our first embrace,

Nor the second—

It felt like eternity.

Wrapped in warmth and illusion,
Our eyes met,

And my soul asked softly:

What is love?
His lips found mine.
My body responded to obsession
Disguised as passion.

A voice within whispered, Stop.

But I wondered—
What’s the worst that could happen?
In the end, I lost a friend

And found a teacher.

Together, we unearthed

The broken and shamed within me.
Together, we stood

In the light of darkness,

In the joy of sorrow,

In the healing of pain.
Then I walked away—

Far, far away—
To the land of escape,

In search of my destiny.

My only true guardian

Was me—
Myself,

And the story I carried.
When I look back,

I see the fear.

When I see now,
I
honor the trust

I placed in myself

To shape a better future.
I searched for answers,

And my soul listened.
I suffered alone—

But I don’t have to live alone.
So now I rise.

I speak.
I love myself—

Not in halves, but whole.
I am joyful.

I am trusting.

I am free
And here I am—

Writing this poem,

So our conversation never ends.
I am grateful.

I am whole.

Life is this and that—

An ending,

And the beginning

Of something new.
Till we meet again,

In a new life,

With a new plan.

Hey, O knight in shining armour
Rescue my soul
The one that whimper your name in vain
Entangled with failure and remorse
Take me ashore

Hey, O knight in shining armour
Are you listening?
My heart grunts in pain
Won’t you pity me?
I know my faults
My ego is bigger than your pride
Let me be clear I am a monster in disguise
**** me. My soul wants to get rid of me
Trust me, the world will be in a better state without me
I have killed the good in me
I am a murderer, you see

There is nothing you can do to help me
Don’t change yourself for me
I have brought disgrace to myself
Dare you look at me with those merciful eyes?

Please take me away from this world
Where I slaughtered my dream, my hope and my passion
The darkness inside me has eroded away the light
Past and present has taken away my future

I don’t want to live anymore
There is nothing left for me to say
You heard me loud and clear
Grant my only wish
You know my present state
Free me before it’s too late

I remember the faces of the dead
Each time I think of it all I know is that they wanted to be alive
They never had a chance
We always do
But we swim deep in our despair
Let ourselves drown
Question our existence, our motive and our dreams
For what?
Just because we tasted defeat this one time
Killing yourself is a choice but living is an option
The present may look bleak but I promise tomorrow will be better
You are stronger than you think
Courageous than you believe
Mightier is what you can be
Stand up and fight for yourself
To win what seems like impossible today
Because this too shall pass one day
