You know what kind of breakup hurts the most?

The one where you were still in love, where it was never over, where the 2 of you did nothing wrong. The kind of breakup which had to happen because of others, the situation, the society- not the lovers. The breakup where you two know you still love each other, but can't be together. That is the worst kind of breakup, because neither of you deserved it.

Tired of this cage!

-

उसे भुला देना जिसकी यादों में
हजारों राते गुजारी हों
नहीं होता आसान भुलाना उन्हें
जिन्होंने मुस्कुराने की वजह दी हो

-

The self-realization that you can do it.
The belief that you can conquer any conquest.

Sun or Moon?

Do I wish to be the Sun
Radiant and all-powerful
The centre of energy and life
To which all eyes bow
None mighty enough to rise
To look me in the eye

Or do I wish to be the Moon
Glowing in all its glory
Spreading my silver glamour
To those lost without a path
Calming the frightened and
Befriending the lonely in dark

-

O how I wish the world were
Truly the place I imagined it to be
But alas! It isn't
As such, I came to know
When I was thirteen
The reality struck me like a storm
Leaving real bad scars
And lessons to learn.

Dear Fighter
...
You wish to be at the top
But do you realize its cost?
What it takes, to pass by
Leaving all others behind
But you, alone in an endless strife

You wish to taste victory
And feel the frenzy
of being the best
But oh, don't you know
The path itself tastes bitter
It's lonely up there, child
Yet you wish...
And do you realize the cost?

For God forbid if
You reach there and it
Becomes too late
And you, too fast to catch
By your family and friends
By the peace, by time
By art and rhyme
By all that is beautiful in this world
And you...
Being up there, still
Lose.

Expression in Solitude

-

Some people are a constant reminder that you matter.
Keep them close.

-

My silence is what they assume to be a sign of weakness.
Little do they know, it's the silence before the storm
