Dark consumption

The still mist in an empty bottle,
A tear fixed to your cheek
as time froze...
For a moment there, I thought-
I could no longer see
or be heard..
Cooped up by unknown sorcery
that no one can comprehend...
I was alone!


A moment...
Just one tiny moment
that stood still,
And I'm lost.
This stillness devoured every drop of hope
I have left.
This... this...
This strong and undefinable urge,
to wake up.
I have no one,
No one to depend on!
No one to look forward to..
No one worth the effort!
I managed to divulge my shadow
And go to new lows
Yet I feel nothing.
I am alone!

But this is not my time,
not yet!
Maybe others are plotting
oh! the verbal atrocities...
Will I still make it??
I wonder..
But for now,
I shall roll like a ball
in a corner...
While I wait-
I shall wait
Till my time has come
but until then
I shall remain a shadow in the dark...
Waiting...

How do you grow up? Each day you wake with confusion, Paranoia and distress. Constant worry and overthinking. Torn between your priorities, Always sure to disappoint. By now, your dreams are dissipating. Your hopes are diluting. And pain is your oldest friend. Everyone around you is happy But you. Your juvenile tears roll down and bear no meaning. Each day your life is more cruel  than the day before. We try and try To wear a weary smile when our souls are trapped in agony. You drag your feet behind you. No longer do you wish to pull through. But you do it anyways. Repeatedly you remind yourself you cannot go lower than this. Only to find out that... Life is an abyss with no end, No limit to pain or sorrow Or happiness or hope. It's just a plane... Where you fight to survive. And in the end, We all digress and rot From the inside- out.

We are our own Liars!

  How do we know what we see is true? My eyes may see what yours can't Heck! An eye may see what the other eye can't... What still remains the question is- Am I seeing the same thing as you are? Pink may be black for all we know but the generalization that has been taught to us, to create a harmony and general view of everything around us... Is the greatest deception,  A Lie!! A big Farce!! To nature and to ourselves... We do not know anything, yet we still try to prove ourselves geniuses. But in the defense of mankind, we are just trying to survive. Then why do we still have to stick to primitive Ideals??? Why is it that we do not sit and embark on better ways to solve this problem? Here we stumble upon another question... Does anyone even take notice?

Identity

As the crests of the liquid mirror faced me - I gazed upon its critical eyes  in a hazy attempt  to crawl into my own shadow. That split second stretches into a millennium's worth of condescending judgements. At half a heartbeat, the soul sunk so deep in a pursuit for justification. You drift into a celestial realm of uncertainty, a cloud of unsaturated doubt. Who am I? (An artist's obsession...) On a constant loop you watch your existence racing into oblivion.  You thirst for validation To be counted for purpose.
