Fear

By

I fear I am drowning 

In this feeling I am stranded with; 

I fear I will one day lose my sanity 

In tears, pain, emotions 

And everything I feel too much of.

I fear the darkness of this tunnel called Life 

Which shows no light in the end. 

And when my hand tries in vain 

To hold on to anything in the journey 

It all slips away into oblivion. 

Dreams and Past merge 

Into illusions and mirages. 

I can't tell reality from desires anymore. 

What is my story, and what is Yours? 

I find myself lost in a maze 

Of people, expectations and fate. 

Then, just then, your voice calls me. 

I find you in warmth. 

Wrapped around my cold nerves. 

In the wind that whispers, 

In the light of dawn and dusk, 

In sunflowers and sunsets. 

Shining your light to guide me Home, 

To Peace and Happiness, 

Where I meet myself in bliss, 

In the Love only You promise me.

The Silence Screams

The silence is killing me Is not an expression  For some of us. Silence is a curse A reminder of demons that chase us Voices in our head, sins and shame We drown in the noise of the world. We need headphones in a crowd Playing music that keeps us warm Amidst cold judgemental stares. We need stories to be told to us Like when we were children To fall asleep to. Silence bothers us Like noise bothers some people. The beating of the heart, The involuntary breath The thoughts in my head I don't want to face  All come haunting me at midnight  In the silences And Music works its magic Drowning out everything Questionable and Tragic  Drifting me to sleep As if the universe Sings me a lullaby. © Suranya

Am I Brave Enough?

By

You come home with scars and pain  Yet I know your heart never heals,  With my most skillfully made balms;  The scars of betrayal by your own  You have learnt to live with and grown,  What else could you do? Yet every time I promise to be brave  Smile through your goodbye  Trying to fight back my tears  For the sake of a title that weighs  While you ride away to the horizon  I wish I were as brave as you. You say I give you the will to come home  After every battle, big or small,  You win or lose, it doesn't matter  You will always be a hero in my eyes. But there are times when no news arrives  For days, weeks, and months  Some say the troops are moving  Others report them losing  Some say you went missing  And all I can do is pray harder  For I am not as brave as you,  To pick up the sword and lose my honour;  But am I as brave as you?  You can rise from losses and win  Yo...

Finding Peace

 I find myself in unfamiliar surroundings, Wander alone through the complex roads, That intertwines like two snakes fighting for survival And I chance upon a stranger. The sunlight reflects on his face. Blurring my view of his features. “ Is this the State of Mind? ” I ask. “ What are you looking for? ” He smiled. “ Peace. ” I show him the address. He shakes his head, amused. “ It’s a difficult road ahead, you would need more… ” “ More of what? ” “ Thick Skin, Carefreeness and a lot of self-love. ” “ Then? ” I ask, intrigued. “ Then you will perhaps find a glimpse of it some day. An idea, an abstract, a utopian world. You will get there, slowly, when it's time. ” “ How do I know when the time comes? ” “ When Death knocks at your door, Asking you to let go, He will surely take you there. ” “ But can I not reach there before Death arrives? ” He laughs, a hearty laugh, staring at me, Like I was a child asking something naive.  “ You will find a glimpse of it someday. ”  His ...
