Poisoned Antidote
I would have moved the world for you
I would have done unimaginable things
You were the centre of my world
And my days revolved around you
I was the best thing that happened to you
You'd never find another like me
You lost your chance with me
When I walked out of the door
And when you shut me out
That sealed it for me
I am better off without you
My life's more beautiful
When its void of your rejections
I've learned to love me more
You were my never written song
My never fulfilled dream
My never inspiring muse
My bittersweet memory
My poisoned antidote
My inner monster
My unspoken rage

Trojan Horse
Tall walls I built round about me
I barricaded every single inch of me
All intent was to be invisible
Not until you came along with goals
Every damn thing I wanted was you
Talk about someone of your dreams
I was sleeping with the enemy
You showed your intentions were pure
Or so you guiled me into believing
And I gradually let down my guard
As you infiltrated my fortress slowly
And broke down every last brick of me
Now I am defenseless and vulnerable
In that moment of weakness you struck
Tearing down my walls and barricade
Leaving my fragile being out in the dark
A Trojan Horse you are, now I know
Know thy enemy, the first rule of war
I may have lost this little battle
But this war, it's far from over!

Catching Feelings
I'm walking on eggshells
I wear my heart on my sleeve
Yes I gave you all of me
I was happy because I had you
You made me beautiful
Or maybe it was my illusion
I was a captive of your love
Victim of Stockholm Syndrome
I was an animal of feral instincts
But no longer bound by your leash
You were a poison I was addicted to
I wanted you, though you were bad for me
Getting away took me long enough
I am better off without you
And breaking off of you is my goal
Leaving all that is you behind
Or I'd simply bleed out while at it
Losing little parts of my being
That's the price I have to pay
But my scroll and quill I'd always have
With my sanity and peace of mind

There's something about rejection and vulnerability. They are both separate yet intertwined. Not to be bearer of bad news, but they both lead to miserable end. When you make yourself vulnerable to someone, you give them the power to break you and trust them not to. And when they do break you, mostly by rejection, you spiral. It's no wonder why most people don't love too hard anymore, cos the most vulnerable in a duo gets hurt the most when things get awry. And the fear of rejection also make people cage their feelings and emotions. A defense mechanism it's called. What can I say, it's a tough world out there, with the seemingly weak ones getting crushed by the hour. So when you show your feelings and emotions, you're termed weak, not because you really are weak, but because we have some hurt people who hurt people. Talk about collateral damage. Sadly, you just bared yourself to the wrong individual. As a silver lining however, when you meet the right person, you would realize that your emotions are your strongest points and shouldn't be cramped. Let loose. Let Live.

Convicts
It feels like I am the victim of our love
But in actual fact I am the demon here
I am the villain of this epic story of ours
I destroyed what we began to build
I saw where we were headed
To a point of lifetime commitment
I got cold feet, I got scared
Thinking of being tied to just you
Made me want my freedom more
I wasn't ready to commit just yet
Sometimes I wonder if I ever will
So to be rid of you, I began to hurt you
I hurt you in several ways unimaginable
I was cruel and cold, a beast full of hate
You gave yourself to me and I used you
It was convenient at the time
I took your love for me for granted
All of your efforts to make us work
I thwarted without a flinch or remorse
And those years of your life you gave to me
All gone with the wind with nothing to show
I always thought to myself endlessly
When you're tired, you'd pack up and leave
You left, a broken soul, imprisoned in love
You were just another one of my convicts
Whose crime was loving me truly

Identity
The smile you wear, is that really you? Or is that just another one of your costumes ? Who lies behind all that sweetness you portray? Is there a monster lurking within you? Who do you truly see when you look into a mirror? What fuels all that rage that you give when you'd rather be nice? Why do you give love for hate? Why do you push people away? Who are you deep down. What is your identity? Are you the person the world sees? Or is there different person in your mind. Do you put on a face for each day? Or are you as real as they come? Identity sometimes can be nothing short of a costume

Equanimity
I've known what it feels like to live in someone else' shadow.
I've gotten so used to "hand me downs", that new things feels wrong.
I've felt the painful pangs of hunger that eating seemed like luxury.
I've felt pure terror, I shuddered at every sound.
I've felt guilt so heavy, I beat myself up everyday.
I've been hurt so bad, my default emotion is now numb.
I've got dreams and desires that might never come to realisation.
I've got secrets and demons so dark, I'm scared to even think about them.
I've got a story to tell, but no one will ever understand the plot.
I've got words I wanted to say, but they died right there on my larynx.
I've had to give a motivational speech when I'm all broken deep down.
I've had to smile and say " I'm fine" when all I wanted to do was break down and cry.
I've lost all I worked for in an instant and had to encourage others for me.
I've had to suck up pain and put on a brave face just so I don't seem weak.
I've had to hold my shit together when everything was in total chaos and shambles.
I've had to keep quiet and listen when I would have loved to be heard.
I've been longing to become invisible when I actually wanted to be seen.
I've had to be everybody's version of me when all I wanted was just to be Me.

Melancholy hits you like a wave on a random rainy day. Where you can't pinpoint where it exactly hurts. But it does and with every ounce of your existence you wish to get some nights back. Some people back. Some places back. And the wave hits you harder when you realize that you can't get any of those old days back. When life was simple. When people were genuine. When love was just a feeling of euphoria and nothing complicated. But we all just continue to live with broken hopes, tired souls and endless ache. Don't we ?

Come let me tell you my story //
You can call me a survivor of acid attack
Stop there don't pity me coz I'm a fighter you know
The reason of this attack is still unknown to myself
"What can a simple girl coming from a middle class background do someone to get this scar of lifelong", I question this myself everyday
You know while lying in hospital bed with pain so unbearable all over my body
I could hear my family weeping
Don't let your imagination run wild coz they were crying not because of how much pain I was in but about "Who would marry me"?and what not
Should I think they were worried about my future to keep my mind at ease
So my heart will not feel so cold //
Finally the day came when I was discharged, they handed me a present for my recovery
I guess you all might have imagined what I received -flowers, jewelry you think so
It was a simple shawl to cover my face so I may not scare people away but who would tell them that the beast who attacked me is freely walking somewhere without covering their face //
The pain of burning sensation is still bearable unlike the look of fear, disgust, pity, hatred in the eyes of people feels unbearable
They see me like a "monster"
I remind myself that I have to live in this society till my last breath
So accepting that look of disgust is the only solution and so with all my courage what I do is "smile" back at their faces //
Let me tell you a secret I don't dare to look in the mirror with fear I may not be able to accept myself
Yet to face the society so it may not look down upon me I put up a smile
If one day I become courageous to accept myself while smiling in front of mirror //
Will this society change their way of seeing me? And accept my face like before
Will this society stop treating me like a culprit?
Will my own family accept me without conditions?
Will you all be able to love me with this scar?
Will you all let me live freely?
I question this to the heartless people of society..Fighter of Acid Attack

CHAOS
Blinding anomaly
misconstrued thoughts
Unrequited love
Puritanical hypocrites
Abysmal feelings
Concussive emotions
Bereft desires
Deleterious addictions
Coerced martyrs
Existential personalities
Colossal misdirections
Apocalyptic civilization
An utopian fantasy
A dystopian society

Wrecked
Each day brings about reminisce
Of what I could have done right
And where I went about it wrong
You were my aphrodisiac
Only you, my subconscious longed for
You were the splash of hue in times of gloom
My hopes, my dreams, your presence rekindled
You renewed my spirits in my despondency
My alexithymia replaced by cascading emotions
Your love I kept feeding on like a deprived parasite
Not knowing I was abysmal, never filled up
And I kept draining you, till you had nothing to give
You were the rainbow, I was the storm
Ours was a match made in hell, never meant to be
In the end, your light couldn't get rid of my darkness
So I had to let you go, before I made you into a me
A wrecked melancholic

Someone
Find someone who enters your life knowing your flaws.
Who'll love you with your scars and marks,
Who'll bear your moods and tantrums
Find someone who'll stay by your side
Even when you push them away
Even with your anger and ego
Find someone who will love you for who you are
And not someone who you can be

TOMORROW
Tomorrow I'll be fine .
Oh I gotta move on ,
beyond that line.
Today I bruise my heart,
Tomorrow I'll be fine.
I cried yesterday because I'm sad;
And today I'm no more mad ,
Tomorrow I'll be fine.
I lost you yesterday.
I'm missing you today.
But tomorrow I'll be fine.
The question is
"Would tomorrow ever come ?"

Poetry is my encoded diary
And if one read between the lines
And see beyond the rhymes
You could find my soul
standing quite naked before thee
Bleeding and broken
Screaming
Help me!
