What goes down, comes up.

Before slithering
Into madness
I painted my nights red
To confuse my mind
With thoughts
As Endless as
The black holes
Of normalcy.

When your extreme sanity threatens their below average normalcy, they start portraying you as wicked to cater to their insecurities.

-

जश्न पूरा हुआ यारों
चलो अब फिर लौट चलो,
नकाब पहन कर चेहरे पर
फिर से अजनबी बनो,
वही मामूल ज़िन्दगी का
यूँही दोहराते चलो,
खामोशी का हासिल लम्हा
अब गले लगाते चलो,
नया साल अब पुराना हुआ
फिर तुम पुराने हो चलो,
जश्न पूरा हुआ यारों
चलो अब फिर लौट चलो!

Once you have trivialized ill-treatment in a relationship, toxicity becomes a normalcy.

-

उनकी इज्जत भी करूं,
उनका बड़दास्त भी करूं ।
उनका ख्याल भी करूं,
उनकी अनुपयुक्त बातें भी सूनुं ।

क्यूंकि यहाँ बात प्रेम और अपनेपन की नहीं ,
यहां बात बड़े-छोटे की आ जाती है ।
यहां बात दिल पे नहीं,
अहंकार पे ली जाती है ।

Normalize discussing mental health history on your first date. Normalize making a wrong decision and owning up to it. Normalize looking miserable during a social gathering. Normalize ghosting your family and friends for the sake of your mental health. Normalize choosing peace over pleasure. Normalize being the odd one out in a group. Normalize disagreeing with someone and still be respectful of them. Normalize hitting the rock bottom and staying there for a while. Normalize changing your goals every day. Normalize getting hurt by something very trivial and taking your own time to recover from it. Normalize choosing to not be yourself for a year or two and coming back whenever you are ready. Normalize disliking something that you used to like five years back.

Nothingness is normalcy.

-

Don't strive for normalcy
when life wants to throw uniqueness at you!
