Goodbye


I am walking away,
but these streets ask me to stay.
The smell of the air, the tender love and care,
experiences I have had here are so rare.

I fell in love here, my heart swayed with joy,
But I have to go now. my heart was destroyed.
I see faded memories watch me walk by,
truthful moments and many lies.

The road knows me, the trees have seen me laugh,
the air pleads me to stay, my life is a downward graph.
I have to leave to pick up the bits of my life,
I may not live this life twice.

As the city fades like a distant memory,
I suddenly feel very happy.
I want to start over again,
I just need to know where to begin.

I am happy, I am scared too.
This is a new life I have to woo.
Let me do my best, let me go,
above this city and its bright lights, I have to soar!

I am leaving behind all the pain and hurt,
only taking with me the love I've got.
I say goodbye now to these streets I have tread,
to a good life they have led.

Explicit

When people talk, do they always say what is on their mind? Or do they live in a fear that words once thrown, like stones, can create ripples in the water? I have been thinking of how honest people actually are, when I got the news that honesty is a flexible term and can be moulded according to the situation or circumstance. As I rode my two Wheeler to office today, I looked around on the street and saw 'dishonest' people. Where are they going? What are they going to say next which may not be honest? I was infuriated at the thought that at some point of time I can also be 'dishonest'. So what is honesty? Should people be explicit with their feelings to be considered honest? A friend who comes dressed like a Fashion disaster wouldn't want to hear the words circulating in your head. So you say nice things to her like, oh what a lovely dress! But do you really mean it? Most often NO. Then are we being truthful? We two people fall in love, it is an amazing feeling. We...

What can I say...

What is it about life? We smile when we don't want to. We answer questions even when our lips barely want to move. We look excited when our insides scream for some quiet. I hardly know what life wants out of me? I am not expecting life to give me anymore than it has given me. A caring family, lovable friends, and an intelligent mind. But there is a void inside my soul, which I can't quite understand. Man, they say, is a species that has always wanted more than he has. There is an old story that says that, when God asked man what he wanted, he said he wanted the sight of an eagle, the agility of a leopard, the strength of a lion, and the wise mind of an owl. So be it, God had said. But the animals knew what man actually acquired - the virtue of Greed! Why am I telling you this? Well, I feel the same want. Though its not materialistic, a want is a want, none the less. I want to know what it will take to fill the void inside my soul. I want to know where I am headed. I want to kn...

Closure!

What does it mean to not feel anything? To numb the pain that is caused because you felt too much? I have seen break ups in my life, and I have seen friends going through this torturous thing. But what I haven't realized is that, why people need answers to find closure in a relationship? Yes, granted that we have loved that special someone for one, maybe two, maybe more, years. And we expect that, that special someone actually cares about what we feel. But the truth is in a dying relationship, no one actually cares. I mean come on, if they did, why would it die in the first place?? So when we love we love completely...blah blah blah. But when things go wrong, like for instance, your boyfriend/girlfriend cheats on you...or when they act differently to a very crucial situation you are facing, it's taken that the relationship is going to the dogs. When the going gets bad, believe you me, the bad doesn't get going. It only gets worse. And when that happens we say the words, ...
