Day 16
The nights are cold
Then it starts to pour
Hailstones drop to delight
While the winds howl and cry.
The trees vehemently oscillate
The mud looks like marmalade
Birds, animals get in their shelters to hide
Seems like the rain will bring the world down tonight.
Day 15
When your thoughts pull you down,
Will you shut them off?
When you are confused,
How do you make a decision to choose?
When you feel afraid,
Do you escape?
When you are lost,
Will you try finding a path?
When you are sad and need love,
Will a hug suffice?
When you need answers,
Whom does one ask the many questions?
Day 14
What are you searching for?
Friends? Some company?
Why?
There is no need to feel bitter,
Lonely or sad.
Don’t you like your company the best?
If not, then spend time..
Discovering yourself.
It really helps!
Day 10
You do not talk much.
You are a loner.
You are socially awkward.
You spend time with books.
You like your own company.
But what are you going to do
When you are put in a spot
And when you are expected to talk?
Do not put on a mask
Your words of wisdom will make the mark.
Day 9
A cloud above my head
Of worry and anxiety.
A new beginning of life
There’s hesitation and confusion.
The daily rhythm is going to break
I’m transitioning into a new phase.
Day 7
Why do I love thee
Oh dear memories.
Why hold on to thee
When every passing day can go by
Making new memories.
Day 4
Everyday is a new story
A different mood latching onto you.
Today is one of those miserable days
Where you don’t feel good about anything.
You just want to break down
and weep out loud.
Look up at the walls
and hold back those tears from falling down.
Guess it’s okay to feel sad and weak
Now and then
It is just a boo day,
Tomorrow I will be better again.
i lie here again waiting for the words to come flowing
to help me describe what’s been going
how do i begin my glorious story
a lost soul in a herd constantly seeking for glory
why do i feel i do not belong
thoughts, actions, and intentions
unwanted and sometimes so wrong
they judge and look at me with hateful eyes
i look down and walk ahead
sometimes with a smirk
sometimes with fear and anguish on my mind
why am i unlike the others
staying aloof,
hurting people whom i like,
it’s not that i like to always be alone,
it’s just my racing unsteady mind,
unsatisfied with what’s in hand.
They watch over you with their keen and judgy eyes
Surrounded by dark red clouds emitting an aura of jealousy and envy
They look down upon you to make you feel worthless
You take a step back –
Fear in your eyes
You try to hide your pain
The pressure is pulling you down
You feel weak in your knees
You’re afraid of being consumed by the darkness once you blink your eyes
So, you look straight ahead with passion in your eyes
The fear slowly seems to fade away
The redness of the clouds begins to turn into a pale white light
Suddenly, you are struck by the lightning of enlightenment
Now, you feel whole and satiated.
A drop in an ocean
A tear of emotion
Isolation in commotion
A sign of devotion.
In search of an identity
In the enormity of the world
Struggle, passion, and dedication
Are merely but just words
Stand till you fall
Till you prove.
