(no title)

We have no power over things that have been written
Nor do we have knowledge over things that will happen
So why don't we just focus on matters that are important
And fix those that are broken

How Would You

How would you understand pain if you've never felt it
How would you understand sorrow if you've never tasted it

How would you understand fear if you've never had the rush running through your veins
How would you understand anger if you've never overcome it

How would you understand loneliness if you've never been abandoned
How would you understand happiness if you've never embraced it

How would you understand the moon if you've never seen darkness
How would you understand the sun if you've never enjoyed the light

How would you understand me if you've never even tried
How would you understand my heart if you've never gotten a bit of it

What Am I To You

Am I not worthy of your time
Am I not worthy of your attention
Am I not worthy enough to get a taste of you
Am I not worthy enough to get the craving I need

Like flowers need water to blossom
Like birds need wings to fly
Like a writer needs their hands to write
I need you to survive

The Opposite

We're so different yet so similar
You're far aside and I'm on the other
You make me forever want to linger
Cause honey in your arms I surrender

You make me want to be better
Despite all the rage and anger
I know we will always come back together
Cause when its me and you, other things don't matter

You do not understand

Its sad when you think you know me when you don't. You don't know when silence occupy myself, thats when I need someone to lean on to the most. Its frustrating when I could just fake a smile and you'd believe it. When I could just laugh out loud but you'd never hear the screaming inside my head. Its painful when I thought you'd understand me the most out of all, but you don't. When I thought you'd stay but you chose to leave. The most painful it is when you doubt how much you mean to me. 

I Found You

I was deep in my lost thoughts

And I found you

I did not know what I was searching for

And I found you

I was not sure of my purpose

And I found you

I slipped off the track, falling

And I found you

I found you when I could not even find myself, and you saved me, every single time 

A Sealed Chapter

Hey peopleeeee! Its been so long since I last posted anything here. I haven't been writing for awhile. To be honest, at one point, I felt lost. I lost the motivation and inspiration to write. And its such a torture because writing has always been something I love doing. And for me to feel like I've lost touch with one thing that I love doing the most was kind of depressing.

But I tried to find it back.. To find it back from people around me. To find it back from my surroundings. And thanks to poetry classes that I somehow got motivated again. Here is a poem that I recently wrote, and I thought of sharing it here as well instead of just keeping it in my book.

A SEALED CHAPTER

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

Like the wind that has long gone spinning,

Like the leaves flying away taken by the breeze,

Like the waves on the shore returning to the sea.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

The inks that cannot anymore be erased,

The pages that have been sealed,

The written words that cannot be removed.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

Words that I still keep close to my heart,

Words that I hope you would utter,

Words that I will always remember.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

That I wish I could rewrite,

That I wish could be undone,

That I wish I did not even start.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

A part of me that has long been lost,

A part of me that I don’t want to recall,

A part of me that I wish had stayed.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

Like the flowers that have lost the scent,

Like the river changing its flow,

Like the raindrop that has fallen on the ground.

You’re the chapter that I’ve finished up writing,

The one that forever will be sacred,

The one that I will always keep as a secret,
The one, my favourite.

I started writing this poem months back but was never able to finish it. I completed it just a few days ago while sitting in the library with Salman and Nasreen with me. Its not that you guys inspired me or anything :P  but thank you for always being by my side. And to my Izzy too! And I have to give credits to Sara for helping me in coming up with the title. I love you peeps <3
