Hope is a two edge sword, a virtuous vice,
Any heart that holds must pay a price.
It doesn't let a scarred soul die,
Although it has endured agony all its life.
Hope feels like water to the parched,
Yet it can feel like death on the march.
Hope is sometimes a beautiful lie,
Or is it just truth's futile try.

"Letting go" is as easy as they say
It's your happiness and hope that you need to betray
The very hope that you stitched out of love
Is the first thing for you to get rid of.
The dreams that you've seen in the light
Must be surrendered to darkness without a fight.
And "letting go" is as easy as they say
It's only the "life" in your life that goes away

Inside us live two creatures: love and reason.
While love sets us free, reason seems to restrict us to order. Reason not only clips love's wings but also tramples love over while laughing at it hysterically. And in the end, reason lives alone in an orderly life just to miss the freedom imparted by love.

Observe and you might actually see.
The scars which the silent sacrifices left on me.
The heart bled pain while the face faked a smile .
Taking the hits quietly and letting regrets pile.
Of all the things I could've to fulfill the heart's desire.
I only did what would make me "Good Soul in it's pure emotional attire".

-

I still don't know what is right -
Chasing blind dreams or destination at sight. The daytime turned into a shady dark night,
My conscience constantly seeking the light,
Maybe to survive and fill with some life,
Or just to protect the shattered pieces of whatever's left inside
It's still unclear what's driving me to fight -
Is it glory? Is it grit?
Or just an innocent soul terrified?

"Dust!" they said.
"Stardust.!" came a reply and a tight hug from the best friend.
Years later, that tight hug still remained the most valuable prize of all the trophies he recieved.

My sceptical soul once drowned,
In the cold ocean of loneliness,
What emerged was someone else,
Someone who knew
Both love and hatred were alike,
They cut you slightly,
So you bleed out slowly.
They mould people differently,
To suit their craving,
So that they go beyond saving.
And I chose to stay away
From these imposters.
But then it was just a dream,
The last mirage that I have seen.
Before loneliness sinked me in.

Wo soche ki hum darr jayenge,
Phir soche hum har jayenge,
Phir soche ke thhak jayenge,
Yeh buland haunsle hai janab
Aapke thoda kharochne(scratch) se,
kya yunhi toot jayenge.

-

Unhone socha, dabaav dalenge
To mitti mein lipat jaenge,
Hum koile(coal) hai janab,
Hira bankar nikhar jaenge.

-

The heart's brimming with emotions.
Every cell of my body speaks one notion,
"Search for meaning in the crowds"
Get an answer or be buried in a shroud,
Testing rationality to the limits.
The arrow of insanity making a narrow miss,
Thoughts flew through the mind like a river,
Expectations died and the hearts shivered.
Deceit was real and people cried.
Feelings crushed Love deprived.
