Redemption!

Another day is up and about

And the loneliness persists.

It is as strong as if I were alone.

When life becomes a constant mess,

And the only words that come to mind are

‘Get out of here!’

Depression becomes the order of the day.

Misery is comfortable

And logics take a strong mind.

When mistakes rule the world

And apologies became a daily routine,

When the mind loses its sanity

And reasons give way to cribbing.

When we become a burden on the people who love us

And we lose faith on ourselves,

That’s when the clock strikes twelve

And the truth dawns in…

Change!

Fight!

Become yourself!

The mistakes we made in the past

We cannot undo,

The time we lost,

We cannot bring back.

The things we broke,

We cannot fix them again.

But the mess we made,

We can clean it up again.

We cannot bring back the beginning

But we can give it a new beginning.

So let us redeem ourselves

Let us be the person we wanted to be.

Let us the walk the path we were meant to walk

And let us stop being afraid of our steps!

If life already is a mess,

The worst we could do

Is mess it up some more.

But if we succeed,

We could bring back the sense of self we had lost.

So let’s keep fighting!

If we lose,

We will be back to where we began.

If we win,

Ours will be the world,

And ours will be the life.

So stop fearing,

Get your gear

And get, set, go…

Because O’ faithless wanderer,

Life is too short to lose yourself

And too long if you be someone else.

So make your own way,

Set your own goals,

And walk away to the mountains that await.

For in this world,

The golden letters will fade,

But as long as you walk your way,

You shall always remain…

For Forever...

Perhaps it's just better not to say
Perhaps there is nothing to say
just silence.

Silence that engulfs the mind
Silence that stretched on
Silence that is more beautiful than words
Silence more meaningful than worlds.

Who says it's a tragedy
It's nothing but inevitable.
Who feels it's agony
It's nothing but silent comprehension.

It's not the end, just a beginning of something new.
It's not a truth, just the ending of a methodical lie.

It's here, it's new
and for forever to come. 

It exists, it survives
for deaths to come.

It screams in vain and falls silent in pain
and learns, just learns...
learns to live
learns to respect
learns to survive
learns to strengthen 
learns to be,
unlike many in past,
immortal.

Short but beautiful,
lied but truthful, 
honest but un-understood,
lies above all mountains,
sleeps below all oceans,
a small pact of hearts
that now are free to find its bounds...

P.S. I love you... 

FRIENDLESS!

A group of people
gathered in a circle
seemed familiar enough
for me to go and check.

As I moved closer,
I felt I was getting smaller,
tiny with every step I took.

Soon the group of students
seemed like a bunch of giants
all set to keep me out.

They were all there-
my friends,
or atleast that's what
I had thought they were.

They seemed alien,
as if in another world
close enough to touch
but still far away.

The sense of protection
I had always felt in their presence
was suddenly gone,
like Sun on a cloudy day.

The wave of depression
swept over me
pulling me under
and I felt my knees
hit the solid ground.

Was I so alone
in the whole world?
Was I so unacceptable
like a rotten apple?

Not part of any group
not the cloud of any sky,
not the friend of any worthy
and not the human of this world.

Screaming, I woke up
from the torturing nightmare.

BUT WAS IT REALLY A DREAM?

Maybe. Maybe not.
Somewhere deep down
I knew that I could
never be a part of the group
that intimidated my very existence.

Somewhere deep down
I knew I was alone,
friendless and lonely
without anyone to protect me.

Depression overtook me
and I screamed again
feeling that for the first time in a long time
I did not know what to expect the next day!
