Poetry

It’s one of those nights When I feel like a frazzled rag Spread over my bed Shriveled With a mound of random pieces That form my life Pastels here Laptop there A bag of chocolate chips… But I feel like that dainty rag again Defying the vehement pull of the earth Like any moment It’s...

Middle of Nothingness

One of those vacuous days When your mind comes to a sharp halt There’s no left or right You are existing in the middle of everything Or middle of nothingness And it’s not the eye of the storm When all the elements and emotions Are flying frantically around you It’s like Being suspended in a...

Your Success Story

A success story is not only when you are living in huge mansions, driving fancy cars and living a crazy rich life. A success story is overcoming situations you could succumb to. Crossing those broken bridges and getting to the other side, when you were getting a massive heart attack at every step. Fighting and...

Random but very important

I lay here cold Tethered with my rusty chains Under the studded sky Of another silent night Silence slithering on the floor Silence crawling on the wall Sounds of little demons Capering the hall When blood runs cold And bones clatter in fear Tongue dries to stone Words vanish into the air My gaze frozen...

Morning Blues

I need a toolbox for myself, since I have crossed human level of damage by miles already. My screws and springs are coming off like broken wall-e, thanks to my simple (self-destructive) coping system. I see hard day coming -> I over-occupy myself -> I drive myself to physical, mental and emotional fatigue.. I feel...
