No no do not take off the mask
I know to wear it all day is a big task
But my little lamb you are still someone's vision.

You can't let anyone know the inner turmoil
so Breath normally.
You can't let anyone know  the reality
so smile lightly.
You can't let anyone know the broken self-confidence
So Do not make eye contact with anyone.

You can't let anyone see your swelled up eyes
So put your shades over your eyes.

You can't let anyone notice  your self-harm
So Unfold sleeves to cover your cuts and bruises.

Now finally
Take off the mask now you are under your roof.
I know you put it for no other reason but to make people goof!

Take off the mask which you put before facing the world.
This mask you put acts as a shield against the hurled!

The world never accepts the bitter truth that everyone has to put a mask
over their reality to survive under this fake planetary!!

I open my mind to catch the other
me, singing in the moonlight, of each
tender thought of those I love.

I open my heart from my soul, knowing
their is the other me, hidden away from
evil that lurks beyond.

I open my eyes wide enough to see what I
never seen, before I found the other me
looking for me that breezy chilly night.

I opened my mouth to taste the forbidden
fruit, before finding the other me with a
sense of humor, a open mind, that could
of caused me to never find the real me.

I opened my ears to listen to music, wishing
I had listened to before, I found the other
me, playing with fire.

I opened up my whole body and found out
I was a light being, now that I have found
the real me, I dance with glee.

I have no desire to find another me, so I shall
close my mind, and just be me..


(Now go find yourself, I found me)

The colors that have drained
from the dreams of people,
lie cluttered on the doorway
of their homes.
Everytime they try to leave
for something more practical
and more safe life, that they chose,
that awaits them everyday
and does not keep them worrying
about what all they can loose.
Everytime they step out,
even in hurry,
they sidestep that clutter.
Look at it from the corner of their eyes
and for a second their heart seems aware
of the frost that is killing it.
For a second the reasons for the
sleepless night and blank gazes is recalled.
But the limbs keep moving
to keep a distance from hopes
that never materialize.
On their way back home
they dread to see
the clutter of discarded dreams.
But they want to believe
that ignoring and forgetting it
becomes easier with time.
Although it never has.
You broke me,
Absolutely and completely.
Your words more powerful than poseidon's trident.
Stabbing my dreams one empty future at a time.

I'm broken, empty and lost,
And I thank you for that,
For leaving me in scraps,
To build myself for tomorrow.
To no longer be vindictive,
To **** my ego.
Beauty of spring fades away soon
But beauty of goodness of man is  lasting
hell is a place where
you constantly love those that
do not love you back.
In shade...
   Never been late...
       I am thinking of you...
           Are you dreaming,still in queue?


Sudden desires...
         Your fire eyes...
                     I don't lie...
                       Please don't ask me why ?
