Because You Are Strong

Because there's always someone or something
You are always scared of
But darling,
If you never face what scares you
How would you know the buried strength within you?

You there
Within you is an ocean of optimism
Buried within the gloomy clouds of pessimism
But how will you ever know how much you can shine,
If you never let your pessimism rain away?

Are you listening human?
Did you ever think that you'd survive this long?
But you did
Conquering all the obstacles coming your way
You built yourself an invisible armour waiting to serve you

Strong. Yes that's the right word
You my love, have all the capability within you
To either be strong or give up
But we won't do the latter, will we?
Fly. Fly with all you have. Always.

Amidst these four walls lay so many words unsaid
Words that the world can't hear
Amidst these​ walls is how I am in my true sense
Amidst these four walls is where I've been through my toughest times
Amidst these four walls is where I've learnt the meaning of sacrifice
It's kind of ironic isn't it?
That things made of concrete have access
To the deepest parts​ of us
For they witness what we feel and what we know
Our madness and our happiness
Our sorrow and our adversities
A place which knows us inside out
Is something non living
Yet so quintessential to our life
These four walls of concrete
What I call my home
Is the place where you'll find me
In my truest sense
Be ready to get surprised
For when you know what they hid all along
You might know someone you never think you knew
For my home
Is where my thoughts belong
And I am where my thoughts lie

Sigh

Flitting between the future and present
Never had she felt so uneasy
The future blooming with her dreams
The present showcasing the harsh realities
Just like the crescent moon
She was at the initial juncture of a boon
Drawing similies and analogies
She bid her insecurities a farewell with apologies
For the full moon to reveal itself
She needed time for herself
And for her to portray her capabilities
She needed time for use her possibilities
Her father spoke just the right words
Before she bid him farewell
"We trust you"
Really? Did she need any other motivation?
And so she went on
To explore her world full of opportunities

Weary Kind

It's been almost an year
You're still as fresh as you once were
This ain't no place for the weary kind
This ain't no place to fall behind
My body still aches for your touch
My soul still craves for what we once were
It's sad that we weren't meant to be
But is it sad that we were meant to be?
For a time that only we can remember?
What can i say?
Yes, definitely
For the constant dilemma I've been in
For I didn't once know what we were
For the ifs dominated the ares
For my constant residence in retrospection
All that I can say is
Yes I'm definitely sad
For loosing something beautiful for something transient
Slowly slipping into delirium
My heart still flutters at the sound of your name
My mind still crawls its way back into our timeloop
Oh how i wish I hadn't met you at all
And now here I am
Picking up my crazy heart, moving on
Still believing in the stupidity I once believed in
