My Universe
During the explanation of the words written, Some slept, some listened. Some laughed, some dwelled in the imaginary. Being unaware of the worldly affairs, I was stuck in the interplanetary. As I blended in my thoughts, The colours of consciousness stood out. Even after I diluted myself in the tears on ink, I was caught by the paper, a culprit of thinking. The words written, the words spoken, Faded away as I tried to fathom them, The language felt alien to me, Maybe, it lacked the meaning I tried to find in myself. Hanging between the two worlds, I wanted to untangle the string that suffocated me, But what’s the point now? As I already found my own universe in between.

And then, I found home in an unfamiliar voice, And peace in the familiar noise.

The Lost Path
In the desire to explore the alien land, I left the shore of my home. My dreams tangled, They surpassed my expectations' comb. My wish to write everything, I lost the pages of my own. Midway to success, I saw myself dying all alone. As I witnessed the ultimate truth, My heart died as I achieved my goal. I now yearn to return to myself, But the path towards it remains unknown.

Plethora of thoughts came to my mind, But I chose not to write. Not because I couldn't find words for the same, But because the paper was unable to carry such pain.

And the highlighter of mundanity, Bathed the whole book.

And then she realised, Her efforts were being ignored, Because she couldn't acknowledge someone else's fears, their tears and the hard work with which their success was reared.

Sometimes I don't care about what people think, Because I've already thought about it on their behalf.

The Dictum
I chose to stay silent,
I chose to avoid violence.
I chose to be alone,
I chose to remain unknown.
I chose to accept them,
The people who hid behind the mask of a friend.
I let myself suffer,
Welcoming the troubles
I cried considering my unfaithful life,
A dictum.
But in all of this,
How was I the victim?

Villains and heroes are a jest,
Both are like either sides of a coin,
One will always be below and the other on top,
And neither will stand on their sides,
It depends on us who the villains are,
Or wether they be the head or tail,
The world really does not care that much,
But we will always be the villain on neither side.

Her Loss
In the room full of familiar faces, She lay her head low, Trying to erase the memories, Which adulterated her soul. Everything she ever wanted, Never became her own. Covered in the cold snow, She shivered to see a ray of hope. The monotony once sowed, Sprouted in a plant, It was the only thing she could call her home. Frozen in the unknown frost, She tried to be known, in spite of being lost.
Banality grew like an old moss Covered by the shade of her loss Her life became a coin of toss She was now settled in her mind’s chaos.
