This World

This world that I seek
Is a candid reflection of who I am
And who I want to be..

It becomes my sky when I want to fly high,
It becomes my sea when I want to swim,
Sometimes it fights with me when I am confused,
It responds to my each fancy,my every whim.

This world that I seek,
Knows only chaos,
And is a little absurd,
And I keep looking for a little order
In this world so absurd..

I know nothing about what I seek,
Yet I know I am in a quest..
A quest to find my world,
That speaks to me in my language,
And dances to my songs,

A world that embraces me,
Just as I embrace it,
A world that can walk hand in hand with me,
Because it knows,
I will not race it.

Does a world so absurd
Ever exist?
Or is it my mere imagination?

I don't know what kind of world it is
That I seek so blindly,
All I know is,

That the world that I seek
Is a candid reflection of who I am
And who I want to be...

Who Cries?

Image
They're soothing.They're calming.They have the quality of being able to cleanse the mind,body and soul.They demand to be unrestricted.Yet, they aren't welcome everywhere. Strange. Why is crying so difficult? Why does it come with so many attachments? Like, you can't cry in a public place,you can't cry when you're with people,in front of someone who's not your family or friend and many times you can't even cry with/in front of your family or friends.And the gender stereotypes that come with it, that is a separate theory altogether. When you feel happy and you laugh out loud,it's fine.When you're irritated and you just snap at someone (irrespective of the place),it's fine.You can get angry and get into a fight no matter where you are.You just can't cry anywhere and everywhere because you're upset or sad or depressed. Even I find it uncomfortable to cry in open. I wonder why is that...? Have we been taught that?  ...

Fool Me Twice

Image
My heart has been fooled many a times Once or twice doesn't even count. Every time it hurt more than the last time Once or twice doesn't even count. Still, I chose to wear it on my sleeve, To stop those,who were eager to leave. But left they still, They were here to leave; Just tossed my heart back to me, And I put it back on my sleeve; Just in case I met someone, Who didn't want to leave. Years came and went by, All I heard was an empty good bye.. And my heart turned more and more sad The bruises and the incisions, Hurt so bad.. And every time they hurt more than the last time, Those thousands of moments,I can't even recount, Once or twice doesn't even count. But,was I a fool to get the hurt? I even tried changing my shirt! Perhaps, with a shorter sleeve, To let my heart peek out, And stop anyone, Who wanted to leave.. And I still got fooled Not once, not twice More ti...

The Edge of the world

Image
Standing at the edge of my world... You pull,I pull back You push,I push back You kick,I kick back... Everything you do to me,I do it back.. Sometimes less,sometimes more.. They say you're called life.. I say it too Sometimes I love, Sometimes I abhor.. I don't know what you want from me; Where do you want me to go.. What do I do to live you..and not let you go You've pushed me and pushed me so much; I have no feet left to stand. Yet,I'm standing at the edge of my world Wondering where I am... I can fall back or I can fall down, Either way I fall And fall I will-strong and hard Only to wake up to your call... *This post is a part of  Write Over the Weekend , an initiative for  Indian Bloggers  by BlogAdda.*
