Look behind those curtains….

Staring away into nothingness Sinking deeper into the abyss everyday No one to confide in, no one to talk to Life has become a hopeless place. Wonderful smiles adorn the faces Lively laughs light up the room But there’s something hidden behind them Pain, despair, despondence and gloom. Holding it together till everything breaks There’s […]

Numb

She is standing amidst thousands of people, yet she feels alone. As if they were just illusions, a dark trick, of her twisted mind. Her shoulders feel heavy, from the burden they had been carrying for years, invisible. Neon signs illuminate the night, but her eyes can only see the dark. “Colours” is a foreign […]

Rebirth

Trapped in a tartarean soul Hidden behind her dark shadows She sits inside a melancholic shroud Filled with petals from a black rose. Her tears form a bottomless pit Her screams compose a haunting melody Watching the world with misty eyes She weaves a basket to hold her memories. Slowly succumbing to her inner paralysis […]

Who Am I?

Who am I? A wilted flower on the sidewalkA lone tear amidst manyI seem to have lost my essenceIn life’s unfair journey. Who am I? A thorn in a basket of flowersA black smear on whiteIn my relentless pursuit of happinessI’m stuck somewhere between the lines. Who am I? A bug drenched in rainA torn […]

Just a Slap

Forget it, they said.Let it pass, they said. But they didn’t feelThe pain she didA burn on the cheek.They didn’t feelThe shock she didHer heart pierced by steel. It happens to everyone, they said.Women need to tolerate, they said. But she didn’t listenShe was her own warriorWith a resolve that glistened.But she didn’t succumbShe fought […]

Can you explain this, dear?

“I heard it. I’m sure.” “You must be dreaming. Or it could have just been the wind.” You laugh and take a sip of your coffee. I stare at you, expressionless. “Yes, it must have been the wind….” “I saw it. I’m sure.” “Have you started hallucinating now? It must have been a trick of […]

….fire

her mind could weave stories like Arachne wove tapestries. her words wrought magic like a melody sometimes tragic. her eyes a mystic journey like a land forgotten by many. and, her soul like oceans of desires consumed by a passionate fire…..🔥 -Ishita Gupta
