plans made to perfection
only to be looked back upon
as broken promises
a hand extended to help
only for a swift retraction
to let plunge in darkness
a heart let go for someone
only to be crushed into pieces
never to be one again

plans made to perfection
only to be looked back upon
as broken promises
a hand extended to help
only for a swift retraction
to let plunge in darkness
a heart let go for someone
only to be crushed into pieces
never to be one again

withdrawn from the world
alone for a long quest
inhibited and furled
thriving on my own zest
inundated as solitude hurled
never felt such unrest
geared for a life whirled
fear thumping neath chest
optimistic yet curled
rational, yet with unrest
yearning for love swirled
one day it will attest
until then, my world…

betrayed by my own kith
over faces unknown
and years of love and trust
puff… gone
my existence to you a ghost
or a plane parallel
treatment to me so silent
shivered universe all
the darkness in you i see
i am not a match
walking around you on eggshells
can’t let those chicken hatch

challenging predestined place
chosen by a stranger
way before i was born
why does it always comes to this
why do i have to take on
fights i didn’t choose
against ruthless world
salivating for my failure
a destiny i want to make
to be one with a choice
and not one thrust upon me
by abusive life

up and down
left and right
decisions coming back
to bite
a false truth
a well made lie
out in the open
why, god? why?
opinions extreme
for all the debacle
even death can’t hide
thus born a radical
a journey new and exciting
embarked upon by a fool
soaking in the pains
reveling the pleasures
the road found him
eager for the destination
and slowed it down
for introspection is imperative
thriving on the arduous walk
the fool became the learned
realized destiny and destination
are constructs of imagination
for the journey is what matters
to learn what’s important
life is memories, disjoint
no start, no endpoint

there was a boy i knew
confused and complicated
yet sorted and straight
scarily confident
and confidently scared
the world was his
and he was of the world
together and alone
all at once
a while ago i found him
lost in his thoughts
attentively oblivious
humming silence
perhaps, torn apart
by the reality of the world
stitched together
by the very few on top
i can’t find him anymore
he might be openly hidden
or feathered underneath
ironclad burden called life
living a truthful lie
