My heart burns like coal,
when someone mine,
starts behaving like a stranger.
without knowing the truth
behind my decisions.

हाँ माना कि आसान नहीं है मेरी मंज़िल,
मगर कोयले की खान छाने बिना कब किसको हीरा मिला है।

coal we started.
diamond we ended.

Good for Nothing

Lost beyond the radar I was. Bounded between the heavy darkness of the sea and the perpetual night sky, the witching hour that suffocated me.

I had been left stranded on that sinking vessel that sailed through the most violent of waves. Looking overboard did I see my loved ones, failing again and again to reach the surface, while I stood and watched, helpless. Their fading screams, "Save me!" never died, which made me wonder if this was all a dream, no. A harrowing nightmare.

Or perhaps this is what I deserved. Perhaps I was facing the consequences of building what I thought to be a paradise, in order to secure a haven of solace from the loneliness that barren world had taught me to fear.

Over the years, it had knotted to form a ship that had sailed for countless moons. All was well. But shortly after did the lands slowly begin to disappear from the horizon, the wooden boards charred to coal that disintegrated at the softest touch, the skies had faded into the purist black that persuaded even the most pristine stars to surrender to it.

Even the diamonds couldn't shine
On their own, but only reflect
But the burning coal did !

-

Either it's bad or good just take it out.
If it will be good you will become diamond
If it will be bad you will become coal

Born
I am finally starting out here. Waiting to be heard, to be felt and to be understood. Millions like me but this one soul out here, me, has felt like a mute for a long time.Self doubt took away my voice and I was no longer the diamond that was meant to shine. Rather buried deep inside with heavy coal. Them heavy matter pulled me down and made me wear this gray skin of pretence.All my fault.And now I ask myself-"Has my time to shine arrived?".Well,I am dug too deep right now but slowly shall I emerge,I promise.

Brain is like a coal,
The much it burns,
The more it glows.

-

Mind is the only place
where you can convert
coal _into_ diamond.

FATHER, a man of words
Fails miserably when it comes to fulfilling his tiny one's uncanny demands
FATHER, an angel in pursuit of happiness for his family
Ends up getting his life filled with melancholy
FATHER, a figure resembling to almighty himself
Lets his ego melt away when dealing with his child's lunacy
FATHER, a fellow of great paragon
Tries to inculcate his infant with life's paradigm while getting all fiery like a piece of coal.
