Let me live this dream!

Never thought I would be confident,
Never thought I would be this assured,
I have never been a daydreamer,
only been hesitant and fairly insecure.
for the things, I ever wanted,
for the dreams, I ever cherished,
hid them deep down in my heart,
for a persistent fear that eventually it would all perish.
And...
Dreading I would be frowned upon,
if anyone ever gets to know,
how much it all meant to me,
I climbed uphill with a smile,
with nothing much but a fairly fake version of me.
I thought bygone was meant to pass away,
and well, when most of it didn't stay,
there was never much to lose,
moved on, walked upon all until today!
Today...
I stand at a peak of horizon,
with a fear of height and blurry vision,
with a dream, holding me in its womb,
with a hand assuring me of its existence.
I am certain, I never want to let go,
I am sure that I want to live this dream,
for now, it is blind faith and hope,
it is a tough journey to even begin.
For once in my life,
I want to live this dream,
because letting it go would only cause me,
an incessant pain from deathly sting!

Voice of a Woman....

I am tied, I am stuck, I am lynched, I am snubbed,

Is this the place that I deserve.

I am your creator, I gave you a birth,

then why is it so that I am perturbed.

The power I raised and nurtured you with,

is harming my soul which constantly writhes,

I will surrender to tortures, these inflicted pains,

No doubt I consider that your biggest myth.

if I have raised you with all my care,

I can use that power to moderate the unfair.

The power i hold can love the most,

If harmed can protect to injure the utmost.

Beware the enemy residing in you, and start respecting your nurturer,'the womenhood',

The power i possess could be delicate in view,

But I can destroy you for the enemy in you.

YOU ARE POWERFUL BECAUSE SHE HAS RAISED YOU, THE MOMENT SHE SHOWS HER POWER, YOU WILL NO MORE BE YOU...!

Losing faith in humanity?

No matter what I did,
No matter how much I did right,
I gathered my faith,
No matter how many times it died,
Fog shoulders to cry on,
Faces with fake smiles,
Friends for the namesake,
Society as a big lie,
I fell through,
Through it all,
Needed support and love,
What I got was 'it was your fault'
I trusted a few with life,
Few I shared my heart with,
Thought friendship lasts forever,
But I think it does only until you dig
Into the issues that cause an alarm
Into the things that might cause them harm

Lost my self in proving goodwill

Lost my faith for working hard stock-still

Friends turned foes and allies turned estranged

Did I lose it all?

Or was it the humanity that lost its soul?

A smile forgotten!

A smile forgotten,

Both eyes are vacant,

Tears rolling up,

In fear of breaking down,

Heart of darkness,

World of possibilities,

If you see it from my eyes,

It's the other way round.

People are torn apart,

Not by the heart but world,

With people whose heart know nothing of humanity,

With fake smiles awaiting vengeance until served,

Gather your wit, aye man! 

For the struggle is quite long,

Either you merge with the horizon,

Or break it even by being strong.

Our foes and worries remained constant

Over the years, we lost more than gained

Be it faith, trust, honesty or wisdom

We had our ways to hurt our expectations

So what's new now,

Politics more than ever,

Is it going to be the end of world?

Or is it just another chapter?

I am dumbstruck,

With the audacity of people creating chaos,

Is it just them?

Or do we also contribute a lot?

Since we do nothing to bring a change,

We are self-consumed in the weather,

blissful life, success and a inevitable better,

Let's take a walk tonight,

Me and you into the possibilities,

Did we do enough?

Or we are too blind 

To submerge in the world of popularity!

She - alone and stranded!

She is leaving her life behind,

But all she can think is if she will lose her identity,

She is stepping into a new life,

But all she can think is if it will be what she had thought.

Throbbing heart, numb brain,

Anxiety popping out her every vein,

All her life she fought for the right,

She stood alone and called out women's plight,

Will she be asked to forsake her beliefs?

Will she capitulate or would she persevere through this grief?

She started her journey with truth,

Declaring she doesn't believe in a few things,

If she were asked to kneel down before a fundamental niche,

She would have preferred to dive right into a ditch.

Who is he?

He who was to stood beside her,

Crawled beneath the bed as soon as families met.

How does he not care if these patriarchal norms hurt her?

He once said, he would do what it takes to protect her,

He promised to work with her against societal guns,

But don't we all know that it's easier said than done,

Love is a beautiful concept,

But love doesn't ask you to sacrifice,

Love nourishes you,

It fights for what you believe in,

It doesn't let you feel stranded amid blinds,

Now she is all alone walking towards something unknown,

Not breathing but gasping for air holding onto her gravestone,

Nobody understands her,

Nobody is there to support her,

She never felt this trapped,

Shouldn't he be beside her navigating her through phases and maps?

But maybe he also fooled himself that he was any different,

When it clearly doesn't affect him the way it breaks her entire system,

And the fact that nothing has changed with her crying over it every night,

Speaks volumes of his strength to fight,

He is a great person but someone who is standing in the middle,

Not able to decide which side he belongs

And not able to understand what makes it so painful,

Nonetheless, she is pushed to juggle through several questions,

Should she kill her beliefs?

Should she kill the relationship?

Or anything that provides her a way out.

Childhood - The Best Rumor!

All our lives, we lived hoping for a fairy tale ending

With being employed to read, play and sleep, childhood seemed a lot less daunting 

No matter how harsh the days were in school,

We came home with a big smile and recklessness as a fool,

We loved to play and read to please,

Little did we know it would turn into an unnerving breeze,

When we grow up, it's what we planned to become,

Today it seems like a rolling empty drum,

Why did we not realize this sooner,

Childhood is the best we had and the best of all rumors,

All our conscious dreams were made of hope,

All our finest choice that fell flat still looked pretty dope,

Let's promise one thing today to not become hopeless,

Forever is we have, let's love, live and laugh in madness.
