the cigarette

It was too cold outside, but
He still stood beside the window
with a cigarette in his hand
Expecting it to give the relief
the people in his world never did..
 
The wind blew through his hair
Giving him the sights of his bare
past, or the shadows he left behind
They still haunt him sometimes
Leaving him with just the one
Cigarette in his hand..

He has his aims and he has his wishes
Like everyone else in the crowd
But something stops him,
or so he thinks, to achieve those dreams
The ones he sees day and night..

With a passion for life
and a philosophy to live by,
He wishes to go so high
But with the regrets he still has
in his mind,
He is just left with the one
cigarette in his hand..

In the Lies

There are a thousand ways we imagine things could conspire to be. Yet when the outcome turns to be the one we didn't want, we begin to break down.  We begin to hate the chances taken. We begin to hate the efforts that we put in. We regret.  Sometimes, it is difficult to say that the fate of our lives is in our hands. That we are the master of our world. Maybe we are not, because we try to do our bests yet we can't achieve. What is the purpose then? We ask ourselves, our friends, maybe the higher power. If things aren't meant to roll out the way we expect, what is the point of working on them?  However, there is a way we manage to survive. It's in the lies that we tell others, maybe ourselves too. The truth about lies is, if we say them enough, we start to believe them  ---  "Does it still hurt?" "No"      And unless someone looks into our eyes, we begin to realize all the lies that we have been telling ourselves and once again shred into pieces. F...

Birthday resolution!

Is it just me or birthdays are scary? Sometimes I feel that people actually wish more for my birthday to be "special" more than I do. Well.. The party on a birthday is special, but you got to have friends for it, right? (Well...coz I moved away from Delhi, I don't have so many friends where I am currently living) so instead of focusing on how to make my birthday special, I decided to make some new friends..getting hell out of the comfort zone.  and along with it...came the resolution list... things I want do before people are asking me the special plans again next year... 1. weekly blog: find new ideas to write about weekly. it's stressing...and I have made this vow many times, but hey, there's a famous notion of never giving up right? 2.
