Rotten

Dissuaded by my very own The one whom I called my home,   I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks Ah you’d never cut me a slack,   These are your offerings to me Dear lord, When would you set me free?   Deadness won’t come easy this time Alas you’ve screwed me big-time!  …

Recovery

Fall brings newness with itself. Strange how weathers keep on changing but fall has its own charm. Can’t always relate the charm with warmth or ruthlessness, it’s somewhat mystifying. I remember how my heart was throbbing so badly this time when fall suddenly fell upon me. I wouldn’t say suddenly, I was ready for it…

Haven

Oh mother… I stepped out of my shell Now this world is my cell, I see faces; Ravenous, Coming for me Ah! Where do I flee?   Oh mother… Where have you been? See, They’ve been waiting for me Today, I’m their key!   Alas! Can’t trace my steps back, The path’s full of cracks…

Control

These dodgy times when insanity rules over my perception, All of my rational ticks get rebellious at once!   But, When everything’s about you; I feel splinters inside of me, Shards of inanity, Flying away from each other In every possible direction!   Darling, I’m never a step ahead It’s you who controls my mind!…

A Tiny Token of Gratitude

I am not good at expressing myself. Maybe that’s the reason I write. I never developed the habit of sharing my thoughts. Maybe I didn’t have true friends or I was/am designed this way.

Imprinted Scars

Palpitations Restoring giddiness Tummy aches Shaky legs The wave returns; The familiar air, Somber weather!   We get poles apart In a jiff, Yesterday; You were me, Today, I don’t know you!   Frustrating, How this poem doesn’t rhyme! Alas, You’ll forget everything, It’s just a matter of time!   And yet My struggle, With…

Reality Hurts

I woke up from my fantasy week, Now things just seem bleak!   I believe fairy tales don’t exist, As reality hits me with a fist!   No matter how hard I try to avoid, These dreams always make me Paranoid!   How skillfully I lie to myself, But actually I know Fantasy is beautiful…

Not a Bed of Roses

Life’s a conundrum! Some of us wonder what’s in it for me. We devote everything in search for the answers. And the others plan to make someone’s life miserable. Part of the world where I live in, society is omnipotent. Everything else follows. I may start with one example and then I won’t be able…
