I am sad

I am the shadow that they all ignore, I am the fish that lay dead on the shore. I am the pollution, that we all breath, I am the darkness that some of us need. I am the hate that we all seem to feel, I am the fantasy that makes things unreal. I am the fear that we all carry, I am the monster that just seems too scarey. I am the tears that we sometimes cry, I am the despair and i am the demise. I am the dream that we all need to find, I am that voice inside your mind. I am the devil on the left and the angel on the right where both of us sit and begin to fight. I am the bad that speak nonsence, Im always with you for Im your conscience.

Who cares about me.

I have found that being alone is no fun, and it causes the tension and sadness.

why can’t we find someone who is real..is it we look in all the wrong places. or is it we trust all the wrong ones. i hate it when they lie to our face,but don’t care at all..we just want someone who cares about us….

Fasaad K Baad: After Fight

gehraa sannaaTaa hai
kuch makaanoN se Khamosh uThtaa hu’aa
gaaRhaa kaalaa dhuuaaN
mail dil meN liye
har taraf duur tak phailtaa jaataa hai
gehraa sannaaTaa hai

laash kii tarah bejaan hai raastaa
ek TuuTaa hu’aa Thelaa
ulTaa paRaa
apne pahiye havaa meN uThaaye hu’e
aasmaanoN ko hairat se taktaa hai
jaise ke jo bhii hu’aa
uskaa ab tak yaqiiN isko aayaa nahiiN
gehraa sannaaTaa hai

(Thelaa : wooden cart)

ek ujRii dukaaN
chiiKh ke baad muuNh
jo khulaa kaa khulaa rah gayaa
apne TuuTe kivaaRoN se vo
duur tak phaile
chuuRii ke TukRoN ko
hasratzadaa nazroN se dekhtii hai
ke kal tak yahii shiishe
is pople ke muuNh meN
sau rang ke daaNt the
gehraa sannaaTaa hai

(hasratzadaa : in anticipation)

gehre sannaaTe ne apne manzar se yuuN baat kii
sun le ujRii dukaaN
ai sulagte makaaN
TuuTe Thele
tumhiiN bas nahiiN ho akele
yahaaN aur bhii haiN
ham inkaa maatam kareNge
magar pahle unko to ro leN
ke jo luuTne aaye the
aur Khud luT gaye
kyaa luTaa
iskii unko Khabar hii nahiiN
kamnazar haiN
ke sadiyoN kii tehziib par
un bechaaroN kii ko’ii nazar hii nahiiN
