Confusion
Waiting for the unknown,
Struggling with my composure.
Why am I so anxious?
Why am I so restless?
What am I waiting for?
What is it that I look for?
When I'm lost deep in my thoughts,
Oblivious to the outside world.
Lost in myself,
I am idle.
On the surface I appear thoughtful
But inside, my thoughts churning in confusion.
I try to think,
But cannot.
Does happiness elude me?
Or do I elude happiness?

First Kill
I hear the hiss,
Of the knife, whistling
Through the air.
My stomach goes numb
As I feel the slash.
And then fire!
It burns! Oh, how it burns!
But it lends something,
Clarity and anger.
It helps,
More than I can say,
To overpower my opponent.
The adrenaline gone,
I feel the pain.
It is draining.

Died Another Day
I never knew how it felt,
To lose someone close,
Until that day,
That made my life, like ice, to melt.
One minute I was sure,
Of my life, of my reason to live.
The next, it was so no more,
But like a river, it changed directions every second.
It was devastating,
It was like hell.
I went into depression,
I went into an abyss, I fell.
Nevermore to rise again,
Smile i never may.
But i just wish he had,
Died another day.

Poison and Hate
Poison is deadly,
But what does it do?
The answer is obvious,
It kills the person its given to.
Hate is called poison
But what does it mean?
For poison sickens and kills,
But the effects of hate cannot even be seen.
But oh! Hate is indeed poison,
As it sickens and plagues the mind.
And of a person who nurtures hate,
If his spirit be seen,
It would not be white
But black, with all the hate and negativity,
Which is darkening its light.

Falling For You
I see you,
You see me.
We look at each other,
And just keep on staring.
I want to hear your voice,
But I cant start
Because I cant find courage,
To open my mouth.
As if you've read my mind,
You start speaking.
You ease the tension,
You remove the awkwardness.
You crack jokes,
I laugh at them,
Even though they aren't funny,
But I still do it, for you.

Heartbreak
Tears burn my eyes,
Wetting the deserts,
Which have for so long remained dry that,
It feels almost peculiar to feel the wetness,
Though as to why I have no answer.
Hurt sears my heart,
Melting the chambers,
Which have for so long remained stone that,
I almost did not recognize the agony,
Wreaking through me, it was heartbreak.
Inside, cracks appear on stone,
From which poured lava,
Boiling and bubbling,
Forcing me to do things,
I'll regret later.

The Void
In a big black void
Which i might never go through,
Not because I'm scared of the darkness
Not because I'm scared of creepy things
But because I'm afraid that I'll get lost.
Lost for good and never to be found.
But deep inside the darkness,
There is a small young boy,
Small yet unafraid
Lost but not lonely.
For there are the birds,
There are the animals,
There are the trees that keep him company.
I have to save him
But how can I,
When I myself am afraid?

Unchained
Oh brothers, do not hold me.
Do not ask me to conform,
To your values.
Do not ask me,
To blindly follow.
Like a lamb to slaughter.
Remove these shackles,
Of oppression.
And release me from my prison.
Lift these restrictions before long,
Because one day,
I will be free.
And when the day comes,
That my chains are unbound,
I will unleash my fury.

The Skies!
On a fine day
Blue and white,
The skies are at rest.
Sleepy in their mindsets,
Going to and fro.
But when the skies,
In their anger roar
And thunder.
Mere mortals cower before them,
None bold enough to face them.
Proud and kingly they are,
In the high heavens,
Watching.
Watching us all.
Few can hide from them.
The skies look down on us,
Them being above.

Who?
Do we even know who we are?
Do we even know the value of this life?
We go around plundering and looting,
Thinking us the masters of this universe.
Who gives us the right,
To decide if the next man,
Will live or die?
Who gives us the right,
To mow down forests,
That have seen history unfold?
Who gives us the right,
To kill the roaring seas children,
And then curse her for tsunamis?
Who gives us the right,
To cage free spirits,
And then train them for our amusement?
Who gives us the right,
To treat others lives as a game?
Who?
