Feeling Dark?

“Life is difficult. I had never expected it to be so beautiful and yet so brutal at the same time. Sometimes, I feel like ending. First, because I believe I have had my best, that thereโ€™s no more good left to feel, or experience. The best has already happened, and anything less would be injustice to myself.

Nothing can replace โ€˜the bestโ€™, right? And anything you get next, is like a compromise, itโ€™s like the second best, itโ€™s like less. And I do not want less. I do not want the next. I just need the best!

I do not wish to be explicit; I just want to pour out what it feels tonight. My greatest of fears is advancing. It feels like someoneโ€™s putting a knife on your chest, and you bleed tears, and yet you smile, because you must! Itโ€™s like imagining yourself destroying lives and then thinking that the world could do better off without you.

I just wanted to write this down, because this will stay, these emotions are strong enough to make a firm presence. I wish to come back to it, after years and see if it made sense, my fears and how my future self is going to face it. I just want to tell her, this will end. Life is just too small for the sufferings to last longer than you deserve to be in. I love you a lot, I love the person you are, and I love what you have done. I know it all, and it does make sense.”

PS: I have felt this way and to anyone feeling the same, I just want to tell you, I love you, you’re precious. Things will be good. They’ve been for me. And they’ll be good for you too :’)

Edit 1: It’s almost 1.5 years, and I came back here just to say that things do change. I want to remind my older self that it is useless contemplating the things that hurt you over and again in your head, ’cause no matter what, if it is bound to happen it will happen. However, you do not know how it happens. In what circumstances. So, never play a situation in your head any more than needed. You never know things may turn out absolutely different. Just live in the present and focus on living it fully, wholeheartedly, and compassionately. When you actually face it, you will be so much liberated. And trust me, you are stronger than you think you are.

Surviver

Nobody has an inch of idea
Of the amount of pain she carries
Beneath her cheerful smile
And the jolly laughs

The way she spreads the love
Like molten magma
That fills up the earth
Replacing the voids in us

Dear darling be strong
Cause you're what I get strength from
Smile and walk ahead
Be a surviver in this brutal world

Inexplicably Beautiful

Today was magnetic
I can somehow not get over it yet
Iโ€™m afraid if I say anything
Would mean so much less

Little did I remember how
I had your perfume on my sleeves
like itโ€™d already been a lifetime
Feeling you right over my fingertips

I could just immerse myself
Relive the day a million times
Iโ€™d even savour the mesmeric beauty
Of that vintage lamp by your side

I can't seem to find words
For a day of days; I'm healed
I think I feel beautiful too
I just can't explain...


On the Other Side

Its crazy how the worldย 
Can be and not be like we want
Its crazy we try so hard
To fit in
But i think like this
We are ourselves
I am just me
And you are just you
They are just them
Please excuse my writing
Because it doesn't make sense right now
But hey, you will come out of this
One day
And you'll be as proud of yourself
As I am proud of you
This time is struggle
And we are fighters
I will see you on the other sideย 
Of the victory ground.
I wish I were there for you
To make your short breaks worthwhile
Refresh you in the little moment you got
Help you push yourself a little more
To make you feel you're beautiful inside out

My Best Girl

I received your mail yesterday, and I was awestruck. I believe it wouldn’t be fair enough to simply reply in there. So, today I write. For you :’)

You are Fucking Awesome, and I Love You. You’re sure going to do something Great! I believe in You.

You can be the music to my lyrics
the pain in my ass
You love me like a family
You're the best girl I can have

You know me so well
there's nothing I can hide
I'd do anything for you
Friends like you, are rare to find

Even if you move for me mountains
You'd say "Yaar, nothing I could do"
You are my missing piece of puzzle
Without you, I just cannot do!

I’ve got plethora of pictures that I browsed through tonight, but let’s not make you senti by revisiting all of them at once. And I’m there for you no matter what, your ribs won’t break, idiot!

Ah, you take my heart when you said that momo thing.

And Hey, your fresh ***** you feed yourself, from my side. Tell me if you need more okay…

Bleeding Friendships

Don't friends fight sometimes
In the end reconcile too?
I'm in hope, that maybe someday
We can row in one boat and
Laugh out loud like we always do?

The bygone days can't come back
But we can plan trips, no?
When everything's back to normal
And possibly there're chances to meet
Can we get together some place too?

Even street side dahi puchka is good
When I share the plate with you
So let's just meet for a cup of tea
Making memories for a lifetime
Till the next time I see you two?

Let's forgive each other at once
Restart like we did as sophomores?
Let's just stop feeling this low
Let's just stop being so cruel
Let's just love each other true?
