Under the Blanket
Let's drive ourselves
To a pretentious world of lies
Where we would touch
To hold eachother
In a untouched way ...
Let's make fool ownself
By saying
"forget everything in between"

............ pretend......................

Its her pretending to be casual
It sprouts after engraving in her heart
She was full of wounds &
Unsettled by the riddle with scars
She was hoping to get one more chance
But he continued to pack
His silence of grave
After taking a deep breath
She entrusted her with herself

If you don't mind,
may I say something.
Let's go back
to pretentious guffaws,
maybe that,
was our thing.

मेरी एक चम्मच हिंदी
उस के बड़े वाले
अंग्रेजी कॉफ़ी के मग के लिए
बहुत कम पड़ जाती है
तभी तो अक़्सर कॉफ़ी
अंग्रेजी में ही बतियाती है
उस की कॉफ़ी को
हिंदी नहीं आती है।

You can not mourn the passing of a family member with positive vibes. You can not undo a career setback by listening to some motivational speech. You can not deal with a post breakup trauma by thinking positively. There's nothing more toxic than the notion of acting positively regardless of what happens in your life. There's no shame in admitting that you're not doing well.

It's not rocket science. When something bad happens to you, you're supposed to feel bad about it. You may have to cry sitting in a corner, you may have to be silent for a few months, you may have to scrap your usual daily fitness routine and gain a few pounds. The point is that you have to be someone other than who you used to be, to be able to handle an adverse turn of events.

Hey, the app is great but the quality of poetry on this app is awful. Not to sound snobbish but most people here sound more pretentious than anything. I don't know what you vision you had in mind when you started this but trying to find a good poem, forget a poet, is, for the lack of a better metaphor, looking for a needle in a haystack.

Be secretive,
But don't be dishonest....!!!

Before you sink in pretentious love be sure that you are strong enough to save your heart ......

Be a gainer
