है छूना आसमाँ
तो क्षितिज तक चलना होगा।
सूरज होने शमा को,
और भी जलना होगा।

मिलेंगे रोड़े राह में,
जो मंज़िलें ऊँची होंगी
हैं पैमाने मंज़िल के,
खरा तो उतरना होगा।

चुनौतियाँ सीढ़ियाँ हैं,
मंज़िल तलक ये जाती हैं
कदम हर एक पर रख,
शुक्रिया कहना होगा।

जो ख्वाहिश वृक्ष होने की है,
ऐ बीज तेरी
दफन ज़मीन में होकर
तुझे गलना होगा।

I am my best friend.
I am my worst enemy.
It's upto me,
who I choose to be.

STRENGTH..

Bahar Se Hasti Hu,
Ander Se Dukhi Hu Mai,
Logo ko lagta hai,
Bahut Sukhi Hu Mai....

I hear...

Wind rustling and wailing through the void,
Beating the bushes,
rummaging through, like an off-track paranoid!

-

All these days I contained myself well
without spilling or falling away
just between my eyelids
not catering to anything beyond
not dreaming any inexplicable dream
I beam with the bounty of will

but what about pulling out the restraints
diving into the indulgence
deriving peace, comfort with reluctance
accepting defeat once in a while
staring at my shadow with contempt
and a shameless smile
convincing myself it's the last time

Indulgence won't bore fruits
the way abstinence does
I can't be swirling back to same place
How can I let go of all the temptations
and be my ideal self again?

- The Depression Demon -

Solitude offers enough darkness for the demons to rise,

Self-doubt slaughters self-worth for them to dine ;

All the chaos devours the cries

Yet all the struggle is still mine.

-

You are a soldier.
Not of the battlefield,
but of the fight
raging inside.

And no, you haven't lost.

As long as you write
unapologetically true verses,
telling your story,
You haven't lost.

-

My dear inner demons,

I couldn't tell you how you ripped me apart from within.

Now that my inner strength could tear you into pieces, don't forget to tell me about your experience.

I would earnestly wait for your reply.

The cool of the winter morning made me crave, a little more sleep than usual which is rare,
The beauty of the mist engulfed sun; dimly lite,
The birds sing in unison as they uplift my spirit.
I wake up to breath the air, to inhale life into my despair.
Though life is hard and turbulent at times,
But we must fight for the tranquility and peace of mind.
The storm seems endless for sure,
But there will be calm in the unsure sea for sure.
It is nature that inspires me to wake up each day and seize the opportunity to make my dreams a reality while I spread smiles on my way...
