When I was a kid, One month before my birthday, I used to be very excited About the gifts, dress and celebration. When I was a teen, One month before my birthday, I used to be very hopeful About friends, family and dreams. When I was in my early twenties, One month before my birthday, [...]

Little Proposal
Little I am, A boy of seven. Big but is the heart I offer. Will you take it? Little is the pocket money I carry with me. Big but for an ice-cream everyday. Will you share mine? Little short I am Compared to the big boys. Big but to climb every tall tree. Will you [...]
The Light Will Guide You
Dark, pitch dark All around, With nothing to be seen, With nothing to go by. Where then, is the light They say would guide you? Dark, pitch dark All inside, With no clue, With no direction. Where then, is the light They say would guide you? Dark, pitch dark Is the colour of the season. [...]
What If I Die Tomorrow?
Today, I live. But who can speak of tomorrow? What if, I die tomorrow? Today, I do so many things. But is this how I want to die? Should these be my last moments? Today, I breathe. But would I rather not really live? Even if I had one day left? Today, I worry about [...]
Can’t You Too Sleep?
Do you also Once in a while Have trouble sleeping? The sort when when you just lie, Toss and turn But still stay wide awake? Do you also Look at the time And know for a fact That you must be sleeping But you are not, But you can't? Do you also Feel uneasy, Feel [...]

Survivor
We are all survivors, Of pain, Gifted by others As well as ourselves. Pain that makes us flinch, Pain we remember for years. We are all survivors, Of injustice, Of when we were shunned What we truly deserved. Injustice that pushed us back, Injustice that roars within us. We are all survivors, Of hate, Sometimes [...]
Don’t Be Afraid
Hey, you! Yes, you! Don't you be afraid Just because you are a woman. For in more ways than you imagine, You don't just have powers, You have super-powers! Don't let the men tell you What and how to do. Don't let other women demonstrate What and how you should be. For you have the [...]
One More Time
One more time, Let us try. One more time, Let us not see why. One more time, Let us not hold ourselves back. One more time, Let us forget about what we lack. One more time, Let us let ourselves be. One more time, Let us dream what we can’t see. One more time, Let [...]
I Don’t Know You Anymore
I don't know you anymore Like I used to before, Like I thought I always would, Like I wish I could. I don't know you anymore Or the feelings of your inner core, Or the fake laugh you force out, Or the words you shout. I don't know you anymore Inspite of that old dress [...]
