Seven days in a week!!!

In which-

Four days a week is depressive, 

Two days remains okkie dokkie, 

One day is spent happy and hopeful for no reason, and the other day is monotonous, and it continues,

It continues in a loop, 

In a circulation,

Repetitive, 

Usual,

Banal and boring,

Seven days a week continues to bore me,

Like a loop- the neverending melancholic days never blooms, 

Days doesn’t smell like brewed coffee, flowers, cinema, songs and books, 

Instead I count my days in hues- black and white, Grey in between sometimes, 

I am drowned in a drowsy land, 

Continuously collapsing- I don’t find a reason to live or stay, 

I don’t feel the urge to do what I do, 

And, definitely, there are times when I don’t enjoy what I do, 

Days are circulating like a busy street,

Pages of calenders moving ahead, 

But, Days are going on a move, 

In a loop of agony, 

Seven days a week is spent in monotony and boredom, gloomy and weary- old routines scuffing off, 

I wrapped schedules like a scarf around my neck- and its chocking now, 

I can’t breath, 

I can’t smell home cooked meals, spices and tea,

I can’t breath, 

I am suffocated in the workstation,

Some days I struggle to get up from bed: my  invisible battle,

I can’t feel me, 

So, I stopped looking for her.

You see me winning in life, 

I see myself collapsing,

Seven days a week- without any variations, 

Unblinkingly the same- boring and monochromatic with a few satanic rituals.

In knowing you, little by little, I cannot deny, That the flaw was not in your nature but in the

Asymmetrical relationship with the cockroach

There was an ocean within me once, It was deep,blue,wide. In that deep blue ocean- Tides shone so bright, Faith

No bond lasts long

Why don’t you believe in people anymore?! – Cause, I don’t want anyone to exploit my reason. How’s that like?!

Empty Shell

You were a beautiful chain whom I binded myself with, You were a self-built cage where I imprisoned myself, You

Audacity

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles
