AUTUMN OF LIFE 🍂🍂🍂

Discoloured autumn leaf shed by the tree unceremoniously...
lying crumpled on the ground
spineless...
with the broken parts
cannot support the mess 
that have carved itself in..

everytime i pretend to breathe
I stink of drunken apologies
for the sins
I am yet to commit..

I gather all the shards 
piece by piece
from the folds of
this pale face
and put them in the bags
underneath my eyes 
no wonder the past hurts
everytime i try to sleep

As my knotted fear
seems to strangle me 
in the stillness of the night
you are holding the rope 
from the one end
as I hold it from another....

Rootless

I’ve been in a perpetual state of (un)belonging since childhood. It is difficult to imagine the pain of loss, the angst, the outrage and the constant longing of those who are yearning to return to their homeland. People who are displaced/ exiled for any number of reasons. Personally, the feeling of homelessness is the closest that can come to what a person may feel when he/she is forced out of his/her birth country. This sense of alienation, of despair seems similar to me. It is one thing to live in a house and another to have a home, to feel at home. I feed on my dreams just as they do, longing for a home that is perhaps not even there, searching for my identity, my purpose in this world. For me exile is not just a geographical concept it is also an emotional, mental state of being.  The feelings of rootlessness, despair and loss.  I don’t know if I could bring out what I actually felt while writing.

Emotional Violence ... Even against Men..!!! Do we really Know?

Image
Violence against women is talked about whether its physical, emotional, mental or sexual but wat about Men who suffer silently? It is easy to see some peoples visible injury, but what about those who are step by step destroyed with verbal and psychological abuse? Some things will never change, coz its fashionable to cry for violence against females. Though I fully agree the females need support ... but tilting the entire balance of law and society against the males is just killing a soul from words.Seeing this breed of men suffering and being the victim of emotional and verbal abuse is sad and equally disheartening as it is to see any woman suffer. A man just looking for peace at any price is becoming a prey and being held responsible for all those things which were not even intended ever.  Some woman can actually create that sympathy and drama worldwide. The fear tactics are used to keep the Man under control. Society is a weapon for every such woman cos she knows where and

Happy Times :)

August is a bitter sweet month for me. It is my birth month  🎂  & birth month of some more special people. This month has colors of friendship  & brother sister love. But there is a lot of heart break attached to it too.   I will focus on the good especially on the writing front. We lose some we win some. Onward we go. Since childhood my birthday has always been a very special day for me. I start waiting for my birthday from the very next day the current one ends. I have tried to always make it special and memorable for me. But most of them did not turn out as I wished n tried for. But from past few years it comes with some sort of fear attached to it. It no more has the excitement it used to bring along.  Wish to get the "LIFE" back in my life.  It might need a lot of efforts and strength but u ltimately,  I decided to write about all of it because I think we could all probably use a reminder to be kind to ourselves. I hope to write something that hel
