Break me if you can!
Hey, I wanna let you knowI’m going to stay this way.You are free to go.For me, you don’t need to stay. Hey, I can’t change myself.This is what you get.Maybe you need some help,If you see me as a threat. Hey, I see what you do.I see all your tricks.You think I don’t knowBut I’m…

जहां तू रेहता था कभी (Where you once stayed)
I wrote something in Hindi which is my mother tongue and for some reason it gives me a different level of comfort when I write something in Hindi. It soothes my soul. But I know a lot of you are more comfortable in english so I’ve tried to translate the poem while struggling to maintain…

Some more time to heal
I dreamt of growing old togetherAnd together we’d turn greyBut with every passing dayYour memory fades away. I felt darkness was there foreverThere forever from dusk to dawnWe stood still, while you were goneWhen life became a game of pawns. I find it hard to recall, hard to rememberTo remember, what life once was aboutI…

The (un)fortunate girl
I walked towards her room, climbing through the stairs. Looking for comfort and love. And if she still cares. The path just seems long, and I wish to halt and wait. But I know in my heart, to take a chance of fate. I last saw her face, maybe when I was seven. You are…

A part of me
All of me is at peaceBut a part of me gets sadMy heart beats just fine all the timeBut a part of it skips a beat for youI sleep well for most of the nightExcept for when I dream of you.I never want to see you againExcept when my eyes look for you.All of me…

To write or not to write. And what to write 📝📃✏️✒️🖋️
I think I think, but nothing comes to mind. It feels like I’ve lost it. Have I truly lost the ability to write? Why nothing seems to fit. I stare at the blank space, Hoping to create something. It scares me back with an empty gaze, And I can come up with nothing. I have…

Baffles my heart,To think of me and youA dream or realityThat’s too good to be true Don’t go, just waitIf I…

Is the mirror getting old?
She raises her doubts, to the figure in goldAm I pretty no more, or is the mirror getting old?She finds a scar on her face, she looks untoldAm I pretty no more, or is the mirror getting old? She looks at the glass, who looks back at herShe tries some make up, but it doesn’t…

There once was a boy
There once was a boy,I fell in love withWasn’t my first,Maybe third, fourth or fifth I followed him around,Fell head over heelsAnd over all aboveHe used to play guitar and sing He had those dreamy eyes,Or maybe just I felt that.He was unlike the guysThat I had ever met. He used to sing and smileAnd…

But why?
I can turn around. But why?Maybe look back and heave a sigh.To ensure, I didn’t walk too far.If you’re still waiting, to say goodbye. I can still fall apart. Can I?Hear another truth, hear another lie.To believe nothing mattersIf you really hated, to see me cry. I can still fake a smile. But why? Hide,…

The One That Stands Tall
I stand tall, and see it all.Through morning and nightAnd through shades of the day.Through wrong and rightAnd when the rain comes to play.Through sunshine and through snow, whiteI see them all, who visit, but never stay. I stand tall, through winter and fallAs the winds whisper through meThe names of the fallen, in my…

This was written in response to the End of Summer Scavenger Hunt Challenge . Thanks to Val for inspiring…
