2022-01-23 16:28:50 Wicked world



What a wicked world it is
Everyone is a friend
With a facade on their head

What we wished
What we lacked
No one really asked

We did what they asked
To live a life in their nest
Waiting to grow
From their grasp

To fly towards the west
Leaving the rest
Proving we are the best
To realise it not a test
But a real life quest

Beaten to death
We took a deep breath
To remember what they said
“It’s a wicked world
Full of friends
With a facade on their head”

2022-01-23 12:59:43 LIFE

In the cold breeze of life
Happiness touched me
When i was running wild,
Not at the top or at the bottom of a lake
Or a secrete place
But, when i was running wild

In the world,
I went looking for peace
Looking into people’s eyes
To calm the storm building inside
Thinking
Someone might,
help me guide through these raging nights

Losing myself, as i grow
The Price i paid, To show,
Whats i can, What i became
Acting to people’s expectations
Bleeding
Little by little
In winds over empty skies

To Realise peace is in
Golden skies,
Sun rays passing trough our eyes
Breeze with scent of meadows beyond the city of lies
Sound of water making its way through
top to deepest point

I accepted life, as a storm
Peace and chaos
Moving through sea of people
Carrying rainbow and destruction along
Waiting for the end, which is far beyond.

2022-01-21 20:13:25 There was a boy of 10 years old who was bullied by everyone. Whenever someone hits him he never gave reply in return. He was very shy , he hardly even talk with anyone but we were good friends, he always shares things with me..
But then something shocking happened in his life.....
So one day he told me that he hears voices and he also met with an unknown girl in his dreams. I didn't say anything except OK. I was smiling.
Because i know what it was. Actually i was 5 years older than him and already know that what happens in teenage but for him it was just starting..
So i asked him "who is she".
He said "i don't know, i didn't see her face.
I was like seriously "u see her in your dreams and u didn't see her face. Wow...
So what do u see in that girl in your dreams"
He said, there is a girl who comes and just grabbed my hand and when she grabbed then i don't know somehow i understand what she want to say but in real she doesn't have even a face, actually she is like mixture of smoke and air....
Then i thought that he is very confused
Because he was very shy in real life and doesn't even talked with a girl for 5 minutes so maybe he is seeing like this...
2 days later when i met him he was very happy, there was smile on his face, his eyes are shining and it was the first time when he was looking very happy . He came to me and said " Finally i understand what she want to say to me,
I asked what?
He said " She is free from this trap, but we aren't, we are imprisoned here and she is helping me to get out of this whole trap" I was taking gulp of water at that time and all the water came out after hearing these little speech " and i was like "WTF" but still i say only four words, " You will be fine".....
Now the shocking thing was that it was the last time when i see him because next day he committed suicide.
After postmortem it is confirmed that it was suicide and reports tells that he was suffering from depression since one month because he was bullied by everyone at school , he was very sensitive ,he couldn't bear these things,so he decided to end his own life . But we were friends he could tell me but he didn't...
The voices that he was listening often hears by many depressed people....

2022-01-19 17:17:57 Calling Out

I have searched and searched
And I will keep on searching
But I sometimes feel stressed
Cause I feel like you don’t hear me
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up

The love I get from others
Makes me feel like a flower
That is so pretty and wonderful
But I know I will one day dry up
But I don’t want to lose you
So I'm calling on your name
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up

Things are so temporary
People come and go
Nothing lasts forever
Life feels so cold
Whom should I hold on to
Whom should I call
So I'm calling on your name
I wish to hear you saying
That i shouldn’t give up

I sometimes feel you
I sometimes don’t
I wish to be with you all the time
That’s why am calling
I wish to hear you saying
That I shouldn’t give up

For the times I felt you
I'll always hold on to that
The ecstatic feeling
The climax of being lost in happiness
But that won't make me stop
From calling your name
I wish to hear you say
That I shouldn’t give up

2022-01-19 14:43:37 I have spent my life...
In wait for my beloved
in wait for that one special glance
A glance full of love
What all didn't i do for that one special glance...
A glance that didn't even know I existed.
But that glance...
That one glance...
Couldn't become a part of my destiny.
Life has shown me a lot of censure,
It's given me many wounds
Now, I am very scarred from inside
I have spent my life for searching that one glance of pure love
Perhaps I was never destined for it
Now i have stopped this fruitless search for it around Me
Just to have one special glance my way just once.

Sometimes I dream,
Of an angel that fell
On the palm of my eyelids.
I'm scared of many things,
Of waking up,
Of brains,
Of light, for I know too well
How these things burn.
And when I gather the courage
To say, 'Hi,' I say,
'Can you be my poem?' Open / Comment

2022-01-16 23:39:07 Quiet, cloudy and rainy night
There are those who see joy on this day, who see them sad
Who says it is the most beautiful days, or who says a dreary day and disappointment and one of the worst days?
This is how life does not always give you joy or sadness
One day you will be happy and one day you will be sad
Who is now asleep in slumber and deep sleep, and who is unable to sleep fights himself psychologically and physically
This is a beautiful, sad, and self-defeating life
But we always have hope in this life
Be sultan

2022-01-16 23:16:07 Silent Night

Staring at the moon
Wondering how it was made
The soft light
The unbothering silence

Echoing winds
Chasing down the roughness of the day
Clearing the way for a new day
Looking forward to brighten people's day

I look at the silent houses
The ones with light outside but inner darkness
Waiting for another day
For people to bring their darkness out

I then feel a cold breeze
Of all unreached goals of the day
The lost hopes
And all the disappointments

The breeze is too strong
It reaches out to my bones
But then I look at the stars
And I get embraced by the dreams yet to be true

Slowly I turn my back and head back in
For the night speaks a lot to those who listen
To those who don't
It is a silent night

2022-01-16 08:25:28 This story is very strange, it may not be for anyone else, but it is for me.... I have never been special in my life.But I can never forget that day of my simple, straight and boring life.
That day of 11th August has been written in golden letters in the book of my greasy life.
I was waiting for my train, although the train arrives on time but that day the train was 7 minutes late. But in India 7 minutes means nothing.. Well as soon as the train came, it took everyone to catch all the seats. I was one of them too.
As soon as I got a seat, that too with a window which was my choice.
I sat outside the window looking at the people, someone's purse was stolen and someone's cat was lost.
"Strange people..."
I thought and kept watching but then my eyes saw a girl
Seeing which "MashaAllah" came out of the mouth...
That girl was standing wearing a burqa with a bag in one hand and a photo in the other…..she had many questions in her eyes…. was looking for something and maybe she was pregnant too....sometimes some stranger in life People are very happy to meet, it seems as if we have some old relation with them.....
Well after 10 minutes the train started.
I was still looking at that girl, she stood on the same wake…. I could not stay, so I asked with a loud voice,
"You don't have anywhere to go? the train will leave."
He looked at me and said no with humbleness.
The train had left......
On the second morning I got up, brushed, made tea and sat down on the sofa after picking up the newspaper, one gulp of tea must have gone and hardly, that too came out, I was shocked because it was written in it.. ...
"" A woman wearing a burqa committed suicide by jumping in front of the train.
And this wasn't any other woman but she was the one I had seen yesterday, there was a photo beside her dead body and the same bag.
How strange, the one I saw yesterday was not in the world yet....
Maybe she had already come thinking,
That this train will take him to her real destination......
