Isn’t it a curious thing How our habits form worldviews And change the very way We move through all the days? When I was young, My head nary looked ahead, Eyes glued to the floor, Downtrodden and defeated. Like a clockwork routine, My gaze falls upon the ground On which I steadily stand And searchesContinue reading “Eyes Glued to the Floor”

Happier
Lately, I’ve been thinking about something that seems to have been eating away at me for a while. It’s this feeling of being too much. My friends tell me, You’re not high maintenance. And I see it in their eyes that they mean it. Why was I so convinced otherwise? Well, it’s simple really. YouContinue reading “Happier”

You patronise me about my wayContinue reading “Nothing New”

Her legs unresponsive to the call,Still she soared into uncertainty – Another fall perchance, or A leap into new confidence? — Two years. Not a day went by without the thought of you; TheContinue reading “On Pointe”

She gazed at the photo lovingly, but expressed a hint of melancholy in her smile. It was merely anContinue reading “Placeholder”
Drifter
She is like a fire in a storm, Her flame is small but burns With desire for more than this – Whatever this is. Is there anybody out there? Faces welcome her to join in And play with new personas, But they always say goodbye And never say hello. She moves from person to person,Continue reading “Drifter”
