validation

a gorgeous sunset through naked eyes
didn’t happen
an electrifying concert witnessed
didn’t happen
lip smacking indian food the other day
never tasted
the miles ran just after the sunset
never experienced
for the camera was off
a moment not captured on an sd card
is not a moment at all
memories, who cares about them
all i need is validation from strangers
liking my stuff, while they cry inside

oblivious

unimaginable pain piercing through
when reality strikes
shaken legs looking for a flat surface
when gloomy future arise

yet strength carries forward the soul
for you’re not alone
hope and heart for a better tomorrow
and old wounds gone

but out comes the truth unbearable
staring right at you
all you thought were close are no more
left right on queue

friends shared the pain before
hearts sympathetic
was a ruse you couldn’t catch, my god
you are pathetic

uneasy

a thought unprovoked buried deep within the crevices of mind
unshakeable, stuck for time eternal
and numb limbs fighting to figure out a cure
for the tingles keep getting worse
something i did and now i’m left wondering
what could have been if it wasn’t for that one mistake
a pounding heart is all i’m left with
and a fear it’ll soon break
anxious of an outcome walking the road never taken
echoes of caution, dead end ahead, turn left
shaking legs trying too hard. scared inside, am i dead
a thought unprovoked buried deep within the crevices of mind
unshakeable, stuck for time eternal

no more

nah… i’ve endured enough for you
no more shall i come to your rescue
a toy to play with and then
shove it under the bed
discarded. disposed off
away from any living gaze

while you roam around with
someone else
catering to every whims of
this creature
and i endure…
pain… regret… loss.

only for you to come back with
tears to soak my shirt
and me to just be happy while
i cry… i shout… i tremble…
to blind eyes and deaf ears
no more

this, here is when
i let you go
this, here, is when
i take a stand
this, here, is when
i become free!

addicted

thrill of a secret, behind closed door
hushed voices, scared to the core
a drag, this life, a drag to forget
needle underneath, and now it’s too late

buried with burden, i’m free no more
ripped hearts i see, i see promises i tore
undone by lows, high only to hate
quest a happy life, alas! sealed fate
