Sober Madness

She is that proper, hardworking student
Who feels like she’ll die if she doesn’t pass an assignment
She values education after her family
Absence not in her vocabulary

She has a definite plan set her in mind
A boy cannot fit in her timeline
She knows what she wants
No one is to stop her

But she’s been around
In this guy’s mind for a long time
Her simplicity’s a sanctity for him
In shameless audacity, he soon destroys her

It is out of sober madness
When she saw a white bead in the darkness
She held onto it
And climbed the stairs blindfolded

Befuddled she was when she loved him
Never questioned the veracities of his lies
She gave him a precious flower
While he didn’t have the same power

One day, a seed presented itself
As she was hoping it wouldn’t
And when she told him,
Ridding of it was his immediate suggestion

Her conscience couldn’t allow that
Yet her pleadings were futile
For he didn’t disguise his apathy
And disappeared immediately

He was a hawthorn and pricked her
She both bled and cried thereafter
Now alone in the labyrinth garden
She found that the ground was sodden

With no idea on how to start her escape
The weight of the seed increases
She must defeat the somber desertion
In this sober madness, she cannot be drunk dazed.

A Sign Meant For You

there is bliss to seize.

Sometimes you find yourself drowning deep into the ocean
But then you don’t try to survive, you don’t swim for your life
You just let yourself sink into an endless darkness
Because it’s easier that way, to accept that you belong there

But the light will always find you
Something inside you will push you to save your life
And so you swim to save your life
And a sight of the shore will delight you

But it isn’t easy because you’ve been deprived of gravity for a while
You might collapse, it will be hard to find your balance
Yet there are people around you, they will help you
And your feet will find gravity again

You’ll realize that it is meant for you to survive,
To live your life again,
Because the world is a masterpiece,
And you are a part of it

And then after some time,
You’ll find the happiness you’ve been looking for
Through words and actions,
You are uplifted.
