Forgotten Death
Wandering in the endless desert, I searched for a stable land. But who knew I searched for more time, Just a little, to live and die once again. Enclosed behind the bars of glass, My attempt to avoid the pathway towards the end. I let those pages free, but the memories, Tried to recollect the pages falling into shreds. Living like I have centuries tomorrow, I held the needle, with a little thread, Who knew, my eternal life ran, In the hourglass of my forgotten death.

I expected the whole world, But now, I have accepted my own world.

Blinded Eyes
I trusted my eyes blindly,
I guess that's what humans do.
But my illusion shattered,
As the pigments of lies,
Reflected the fictitious truth.
The light was biased, I believed,
But its innocence was trapped in an endless loop.
Refusing to bow before the unproven facts,
I decided to perceive it with a different view.
I tried to become a pigment myself,
Reflecting my sins into actions my apathy sew.
But the law of the cosmos remained constant,
I surrendered, confessing to my vengeance's coup.

Sculpted
I sculpted it With the desire To reshape something I could never fix To create something I could never become To make it distinct from me To let it live my every dream
But it wasn't the only one coming to life With it I was reliving I was being crafted in the process of crafting I was creating it to recreate me To give it life to live mine To feel complete
Displaying it one day, The audience seemed to be smitten with its beauty But it refused to believe them It refused to believe me It refused to love itself It refused to be Caressing it, I reduced it into pieces Only to realise, The molds I had used were once used on me, I had created nothing but me.

Diminishing Hope
I let myself suffer,
With intentions that were never pure.
Standing at the piedmont of growth,
I felt my feet frozen, unable to move anywhere.
My eyes scanned both the ways,
Walking onto which, my survival would be declared.
Afraid of the extremes,
I chose to never try, I turned away with shun ears.
Lacking the courage to fight for my life,
I stood freezing gradually, I faced my fears.
Melting by the newly found energy,
I became essential, drops of water to be shared.
Known to the fact of being fatal,
I returned from my illusions unreal.
In the diminishing hope of reality,
My pain defined me,
The master of my endless prayers.

There were two reasons I was scared to let people in; the damage they could do, and the damage they could find.

"I don't even feel anything anymore, I'm just immersed in the stillness of my own thoughts."
— Echoes of the Infinite, Restless Prayer
In the search of peace, I became deaf. When I wanted to live, I chose death.

To be Known, To be Lost
I broke free Too tired to survive in monotony Too tired of being recognised, known to anybody. The urge to just disappear lingered, To become a part of something new, To feel new, to dissolve, to be lost completely.
But in the process of, Filtering myself to feel unique, Escaping to gain my own autonomy, The desire to belong, My willingness to surrender, Made me realise that I was nothing more than a selfish body. Transient beings, their desires - ugly. To be bound, to be known, to be contradictory. I confined myself to have nothing, But a fleeting identity.
I write when I'm sad cause I'm pretty busy when I'm happy.
I Must Be
I have to be relatable to be seen,
I must feel the same to be heard.
I have to be patient and listen to their empty words,
I must be caring to make them feel like home.
I must remain unknown to make them known.
I have to make them feel happy,
I must compliment their flaws.
Standing in the courtroom,
I must face a trial for breaking the laws.
I should have a bad memory,
Forgetting everything
And move on,
I must apologise for not becoming their lifeless doll.
