वो लोग जो मुझे ज़िंदा जलाते थे।
राख़ में मिट गयी वो तस्वीरें जो मेरे अश्कों को बहाते थें।
जिंदगी अपने कायदे से जीने का अंदाज़ बेहद हसीन है,
ना जाने क्यों हम इसे गैरों पे ग़वाते थे।।

The broken heart
is still beautiful ,
as long as the red roses
are not around.

-

To all the people who weren't there for me, thank you.
Because of you, I learnt to be there for me.

-

You won't find me
unless I choose to lose myself.

-

सिर्फ ...
सूरत से...
मत करना...
मेरी पहचान...
कहीं पत्थर...
कहीं शीशा...
कहीं हीरा हूँ मैं।

i believed every inch of me craved for you incoherently
only to realise i'm actually in need of my own attention
♡________________________________

my mind kept thinking about you
as if nothing else mattered.
my heart kept seeking you out
as if beating would be worthless if it wasn't for you.
i wanted you to hold my hand and keep me close.
take me in your arms
for i thought that's where i belonged.
the bleeding songs of the sea entwined
with the aggressive rhythm of the wind
pictured my desires just right (or so i thought).

but then i realised i'm searching for the love
i should be getting from myself.

all my insecurities were for you
i was scared you'd love me less if you knew about them
when i should have been scared of hating myself.
while i loved the sunsets with you
i forgot to appreciate the one setting in me.
i kept waiting for your love
only to realise i don't have to.
i never failed to degrade my worth.
while i appreciated your dark parts
i forgot to embrace mine.

i don't have to wait
for i can get whatever i desire..!!

Never in your life will a diamond prove its worth as a piece of glass
The way it reflects its light,
is in itself an evidence of its might.
