The world is burning with passion
People are burning with emotions
You are burning with love
But here I stand
With my flickering soul
I have a flickering soul...
It's so lovely to walk on an empty road
It's not loneliness but a peaceful abode
The winds going slowly
Making your hairs a messy fun
You make the map to walk on
Nothing specific for your attention to lock on
You take your favourite turns
You can open yourself and run
The grass even on your side seems greener
You are not you but someone with a different demeanor
You might go back to the memory lane
But it's so nice that it doesn't give you pain
You can remember your favourite song
You might realise you haven't listened it for so long
You might sigh but it's a sigh of relief
There is no one to give you social anxiety
You can think the things you never think about
You can feel the emotions you were unaware about
It's not tragic
But just magic
It's so intimidating to see myself in a mirror because I see me and then this another person who is not me. A person who is just an amalgamation of my mother, my father and my grandparents. A person who is not one but many. And it is so amazing and frightening at the same time. The fact that like every other thing, like every other incident, and person, you also hold the potential to be beautiful and scary not only to others but to your own self too.
The best thing about characters of a book is not what they do in the book, it's the little backstory about them. The story that makes them what they are in the book. No character is beautiful without their backstory. And ain't it the same with humans??
Found the diagnosis to my problems...
Morbid fear of solitude, or of being left alone, abandoned or ignored.
P.S.: Solitude is often good but the rest are just dreadful.
Writing my heart out was never easy
But her friendship was so breezy
I first met her on the school bus
She had a lot of questions to buzz
Who was I, why was I so
I was new so she did not know
We got to talking slowly
The bond was new but cozy
We became close
Just two nut heads with screws loose
She became candid
Although my shyness still bid
She was never the perfect soul
But I appreciated her flaws in its whole
People told me she is imposing
I just thought that people were intruding
Many hated her for being honest
But for me her honesty brought us closest
I never knew a person who could speak her heart out
She was different without a doubt
She was a critic at best
She always reviewed me like the rest
We are poles apart
But still together at heart
We had the greatest blast
With her i even wished for the uncomfortable bus trips to last
We never found a medication to our condition
But it gave a lot of happy moments to our edition
It was so easy with her
She never bothered if my answer was contrasting with her
We were comfortable in our skin
We never expected each other to be akin
We have been close through ups and downs
Even talking once a few months didn't bring our friendship to ground
She always said seven years are all we need
After that nobody can break our bond even if they bleed
I didn't take it seriously ever
But now it is a truth forever
Today she means a lot
I never regret doing something for her even as much as a dot
I am willing to be her safety net
I will always be in her debt
I have heard a lot of people explain one sided love
But never heard anyone even talk about one sided friendship
Did you?
Honestly speaking I have been on both ends
I remember ignoring people even when they were ready to loose all for me
I remember being ignored even when I was ready to loose all of me
Did you?
Still think about going back and joining those chords
But what are the odds
Those I ignored have moved on tired of wasting their time
And those on whom I wasted my time never seemed mine
But still I wish for their call
Do you?
I find it weird how we just connect to some
I find it sad when those connections don't care and for them you are not the one
I thought love asked for a lot
but now I think even friendship's demands are not a dot
Do you?
Maybe they asked for so much that I just stayed aloof
Maybe my demands were so much that they considered me fool
Being nice and being friends are different I realised late
Not everyone you like is ready to be a part of your fate
Were you also a one sided friend at one time?
Do you also think that it was worth the time?
What if the efforts were not equal,
It was a friendship you initiated and it will never have a sequel...
Do you ever think 'how did I end up here?' Like you are in a maze and totally lost and it's all your fault because you were the one who made every turn? And you know that there are many routes that could have helped you out, because you hear all the people on the outside of the maze who made it through, and they are laughing and smiling. And sometimes you get a glimpse of them through the hedge. A fleeting shape through the leaves. And they seem so damn happy to have made it and you don't resent them, but you do resent yourself for not having their ability to work it all out. Do you? Or is this maze just for me?
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
As a child I really loved the idea of suicide and kind of glorified it in my mind. It seemed perfect in all ways, you don't have to suffer in old age, you don't have to suffer from the pain of any terminal illness. It was just like if things are not going well you can end things whenever you want. I always liked the fact that suicide gives you the right to end your life as per your wish and instead of someone or something having the ability to end you.
But now a lot of time has passed, I am an adult and very thankful that I found a reason to not do something so 'awesome' as suicide. Because now I am mature and has realised that the notion behind my glorifying suicide had no base. I have realised that Yes when we try to hang ourselves we are the ones to remove that stool from under our feet but the rope we use was given to us by someone else. In simple words we want to end our lives but only because of others and how they treat us, which is obviously wrong. One more thing I realised growing up is that like we got hundred reasons to procrastinate our work, we also got hundred reasons to procastinate the idea of suicide. And for me just a single one was sufficient to keep me alive and also to teach me how to love life.
Maybe you need more than one reason to keep up living but I know you have those reasons, so just find them and cling to it till you start loving yourself and the surrounding. If I can move on everyone can and you know if I would have opted for suicide back when I was a kid, maybe I would have never been able to face all those failures and then enjoyed overcoming them. Challenges don't make your life miserable but they make your life unique. Just like I love to wear a unique dress to a party, I also love having my set of failures and challenges which make my life unique.
Finally, when you feel like ending your life just cling to the 'some' reasons around you to live till the time you start loving your life. Because suicide is stupid and everyone definitely realises that one day.
I hate marriages I say
Because not everyone is lucky in Pam's way
It's hard to find love which never looks away
It's hard to get Jim who always stays
A person who knows that he is best for you
But steps away to let you choose
A person who always wants you to grow
No matter how many days you are away in a row
A person who accepts you all
The fierce you, the timid you, the clumsy you the beautiful you, the failed you, the successful you, and the complete haul
A person who can comfort you
A person who can love you
A person for whom your smile is a lucky charm
A person who is willing to let you sleep on his arm
A person with whom valentine's day fight also seems a plan
A person whose leaving is more painful than he being an angry man
Yes I want my children to know we are soulmates and it is no less than fairytales
I want to tell them stories of our dates
I don't know what else to say
But finding a person for whom you are not enough but everything seems like an impossible way
Sorry but I care
I know the anger on my face kills you
I know my rude ways make you sad
But do I have a choice
Every word I speak out of love you take for granted
Every thing I ask as a well-wisher you consider nagging
Yes the world exist and you need to bother about it
But how to explain that in front of that world I see you
Your pain and problems are my concerns
The worldly affairs don't worry me
I thought our relation was different and we shared a special bond
But every time you hide your pains you just break another chord
I know I am not the best nor I stand for you without rest
But yes I feel and your moods make a great lot of deal
Seeing people bother you, grieves me equally as it does to you
But just because I don't say doesn't mean I cannot feel you
You always think I don't care or understand
While in reality I am just confused how to take a stance
I don't know what to do because you never express your expectations
And when I share my expectations you just consider it insecurities
I know I am not what you want and I know I cannot be what you want
This is what aches me brings the anger to my face, the rudeness in my ways
Sorry for all of that
But I care is all I have
