The hope lives through the darkest of the nights. Even though if you're facing unparalleled pain, one day all ends with a new dawn. The hope lives when the grass grows through concrete. This indicates that no matter how hard a barrier is, we posses the flair to break through it. The hope still lives through these tough times that one fine day the sun will shine upon us and things are going back to how they once were.

The moon said
"If I can outshine the darkness
with the help of the sun,
then you possess the calibre
to outshine the light
with the help of your
loved ones".

Where are you living?
Oh! my demons,
always on my nerves
residing there rent free?

Where are you feeding?
Oh! my demons,
meddling with my thoughts,
aren't you full enough
to just let me be?

Where are you sleeping?
Oh! my demons,
Why can't you let other things,
reside in my mind?

Where are you hiding?
Oh! my demons,
always partying on my mind,
aren't you tired enough,
just try and set me free!

Where are you running?
Oh! my demons,
once I picked up my sword
finally, you bow down to me!

Time and again we sometimes feel out of the tempo. The self esteem is crushed and the inner critic parties with demons. They consume us entirely and leave us tired, depressed and sad. But there's something that I've learnt. That party is going to last only until you let it last. Once you get a grip of ourself you become a powerhouse. Those demons can't destroy you. There's light at the end of each tunnel. Only the time required to reach there is different. Someone recently told me , " What doesn't kill you, makes you." I think we should live by that. I wish lots of energy and light to everyone fighting out there.

Look at the stars
what do they say?
Reach up to me if you can,
they challange me in a weird way.

Look at the flowers,
What do they say?
Blossom as best as you can
They bless me in a cheerful way.

Look at the past,
What does it say?
I'm your best teacher
it imparts on me in a optimistic way.

Look at the future,
What does it say?
Forget the past and heed the lessons
We'll write an amazing story in a beautiful way.

Look at me,
What does the soul say?
You're the most loved person by me
My heart implies in loving way.

My word goes to every poet out there. You are the alchemists harbouring the power to meld nature into words. Sun inspires you, wind motivates you, darkness awakens you and rain comforts you. Whenever a writer's block engulfs you, sadness takes over your soul. Once the block is cleared it's all sunshine and rainbows on your diaries. Dear poets, you are everyone's inner voice and deepest soul. On this world poetry day, I wish everyone a very happening and wonderful life.

Under the same sun,
we laugh, and we cry,
so what's the need to hide our true self,
for us, our soul will always be there.

In the same air,
we breathe in, and we breathe out,
so why not live our life to the fullest,
for us, our mindfulness makes us feel alive.

On the same land,
we live and settle,
so why settle for less,
for us, our lives are too short,
to live in agony.

Under the same sky
we dream, and we fly,
so why limit ourselves,
for us, even the sky isn't the limit.

With the same blood that we share,
makes us all connected as humans,
so what's the purpose,
of cult, caste, and race,
for us, let us all unite,
and spread love and joy,
for the betterment,
of our humanity.

I fight my demons
With a sword in my hand
Embraced with willpower
I fight to reclaim my land.
The sun glitters from above
And explains what's this is all about
The warmth of the rays
Boils my blood
And warms my veins.

The heaven that I see
Lies just behind my enemy
I charge at my demons
To get a killing spree.
The blowing wind
Shows me the direction
Which helps me differentiate
The fact from the fiction.

The journey begins
With a battle cry
And here it begins
A fascinating fairy tale.
I gather my rage
And cast it into a shield
Protecting me throughout the journey
It doesn't let me down on the field.

The day arrives when
The battle symphony begins
Crying the tales of my valour
My fight for reclaiming the land ends.
Lying on the death bed
I recall about the battle
What a wonderful life it has been
I whisper and face the ultimatum.

I think we need to rebuild our society. Right form its core values to the upbringing of the current and new generations we need to change everything. We need to understand that religion is continually contributing to spread of hatred and biasness towards everyone. Controversial it may sound, but humans are better off without it. We need to teach kids that it's not good to belittle anyone. Our society as a whole has been corroded by conservative mindset which hampers the wellbeing of humanity as a whole. Racism, gender discrimination, cast discrimination are few major problems incurred due to conservative mindsets. Not a single day passes without the news of someone succumbing to these problems. I just don't understand why people are spreading hatred. Lets change the way we think, lets change the way we live. The change is in our hands. It won't happen overnight, but I'm sure that the change is imminent.

Many times we're kicked into thinking that we're worthless. There's nothing that we can achieve. This feeling quickly follows with overwhelming guilt and depressing thoughts. What matters the most in these times is that we don't give into that feeling. These are the times when we should revaluate believes and restructure our soul. Life isn't a theory class. It's all practical and the funny thing is we learn after the thing has happened with us. Experience is a blessing to have. Never give into self doubt because that thing eats you from inside. The possibility of being born as a human is 1 in 400 trillion. Just read that number again and rethink about you and your existence.
