“And there are times when even precious bonds break. Just like that!”

How do you feel now after making futile promises?

Its painful to see when your own people doesn’t support your artistic calibre. The very quality strangers call you extraordinary for.

My anxious self always melted in your arms, then. Now your grin from another screen telling me “its going to be okay” works just the same.

I expressed because you gave me enough freedom be myself around you, and thus, you deserve the same. You deserve to be heard too and not be counseled to at your attempt.

I love the woman I have become today. The one who breathes fire and douse it all at the same time.

All I knew that going forward and receding; both were important aspects to move ahead in life. So, few setbacks straightened out my path all the more.

I scroll through the feeds mindlessly thinking about you and that if ever I crossed your mind today.

People’s expectations cut dreamer’s wings.

You blew me off to have your wish. But what other purpose do candles serve?

Empaths interpret your silences, read beyond your smiles, feel your traumatic eyes because kindness isn’t a weakness but their mighty strength.

You know you are with a strong person when they make you realize how much stronger you can be.

You were like water the parts of your heart I touched before casually moved forward, leaving me bewildered. What wrong did I do?

My hustle made so many people uncomfortable. Because I refused to be moulded unlike them.

Anyone who makes you feel inferior can never be a strong person no matter how much they pretend to be one.

Stardust collected was found in the crumpled pages of my books, for I travelled in all the realms through them.

I looked at the mirror long enough today. Only to meet ‘you’ that was still left in me.
