Penned Thoughts

This is dedicated to all those soldiers who lost their lives for us in the Pulwama Terror Attack on 14.02.2019. Ek mausam aaya tha Sabka sukoon le gaya Karne gaya uski hifaazat To badle me jaan le gaya Or pohocha diya esi jagah Jaha mere jaise aur bhi the Garv hai khudpe Jo ladne Ka mauka mila Bas ek khwahish thi Thoda waqt mil jaata To maa ko aakhri Baar Apna chehra dikha paata Maa, fikar na Karna meri Khush hu me Yaha Jaha ho Kuch galat Nazar hogi meri waha Aaega ek din Jab har aasmaan me Hawa ki jagah Lehraaega hamara tiranga Vaada hai mera Agar mile ek aur Jaan To wo bhi hogi Mere desh pe kurbaan

This isn't a phrase we come across very often. But this term, according to me holds immense significance in this world. Children are always expected to be strong emotionally and should learn how to face problems in their lives, since their childhood. And after growing up, when they don't seem mature enough to make their decisions or opinions, they have that same standard quote - "Tumne duniya nai dekhi, tum abhi naadan ho". Now my question is, "Kya aapne unhe duniya dekhne di hai??" They have always been controlled (over protected) by their parents. And honestly I do respect it and totally understand their concern. They fear that if their kids come in contact with a wrong person, their lives would be affected, and that they trust THEM but not the WORLD. At this point I feel that it's their responsibility to train their kid in such a way that parents must be able to trust the people their child trusts. They can't be present everywhere with ...

No need to hold threads We're already teared apart No need to speak much Our words lost their value We commited On the basis of love But no word was spoken Of respect, of loyalty Time has come To choose the latter For love needs you But I don't, I don't. So let's part our ways There's no reason to stay Done with random fights Now I'm standing At the threshold Of both your door and heart And your eyes don't seem To shed tears for me Your feet don't wanna Turn towards me It's just the air Which fills the void In the space Between our bodies So let's part our ways There's no reason to stay

Can't you see it? My heart is freezing Can't you heal it? My soul is burning I need you, I want you Right now, right here It's an emergency.. Do you remember The good times we had When burned spaghetti Didn't taste bad Then why did you Leave me breathless And snatched my heart Where did I go wrong? I wanna ask the destiny To do me a favour To bring you back to me Forever, forever You've always known How I smell, how I taste And that without you I would be damned Can't you see it? My heart is freezing Can't you heal it? My soul's burning I need you, I want you Right now, right here It's an emergency.. 

I dwell in a place, the only one Where pictures get reflected I can see them all painted, With me being colourless. But when these paints get black I get triggered from those eyes They try to preserve me, Not willing to expose me. But I roll down, Laving their dry skin Through this path I can feel the unrest underneath it. I'm the only water Which can't douse this raging fire Yet,  I like to get burnt, And feel the scorching pain Eventually, I drop down And forget about its existence And feel the same. Nothing. 

I've ran too much Forgot the way back home I'm at the edge of the world Wounded, about to fall Couldn't see my blood stains Calling me back Now they're dry enough Not capable of being my part Now I feel heavy With stones in my body Pushing me to jump To feel light Now I realize, This land doesn't have an end I'll have to bear the weight Of all my mistakes Even if I die I'd still see myself at the edge of the world Because blood dies, stones don't. 

Feels like all motions have stopped All doors have been knocked Time is out of memories Chaos has silenced the peace Quenched is the thirst of perseverance Rush has killed the patience Nothing is left to achieve Bliss is there to retrieve People around me were magicians Blacked out my ambitions Replaced them with greed And made it take the lead It's late, but I realised Defeat was romanticised It was the fear of expectations That could never materialize. 

I was looking at the sky Raindrops splashing in my eyes But my heart felt dry Waiting for a new sunrise I tried to look down My feet sunk in the mud Could feel the filth of the whole town But couldn't feel my own blood It was so hard to walk It was so hard to talk Till I heard your fragile voice Crying out my name Although in my mind It sounded so fine I was locked in a room Roaming totally barefoot Burning in isolation's fumes Broken from the root I tried to take rest No wall was strong enough To bear the weight of my back My wrists felt like handcuffs It was so hard to walk It was so hard to talk Till I heard your fragile voice Crying out my name Although in my mind  It sounded so fine 

I left my home With dreams in my eyes Far from my mom To touch new skies Here I am In an entire new world Shouting out my name To show them my worth The streets aren't familiar The winds refuse to know me My hope is a damn liar The storms of fear blow me But no one can stop me I'm breathing to enlighten My journey, I feel so free All victories are taken I miss my land I miss my taste But I gotta stay There's no time to waste

Dear life, what are you? A sky of hopes Changing its hue Oh dear life, what are you? A house of dreams On a fine avenue You've given me emotions Joys blended with blues Too perfect a fusion I've waited long to show you My gratitude Tell me how often can I show you My gratitude Dear life, where are you? In the vapours Of burning passion Oh dear life, where are you? In the droplets of The rain of tears You've made me dive deep In the oceans of love The satisfaction I reap I've waited long to show you My gratitude Tell me how often can I show you My gratitude
