Vivacious

In the duality we stand!

Close upfront- vivacious,

Backdoor- doubtful, haunted!

Haunted for self as I once doubted myself,

Haunted for the world as it does haunts us in vivid details!

Happy and resentful- at the same time,

Just as the sun and moon juxtaposes for a while!

Cheerful and mournful-

As if I am in a duet with a devil!

Devil horns swinging-

Singing lullaby for us to sleep-

And, then one day we rise,

We are awakened –

Mocked and honked- at the same time!

The dead are mocked,

The living ones are surging in the suffrage-

For they can’t decide-

Decide to take left or right-

Instead they are circling round and round-

Round in the circus –

Round in the parameter lengthened!

And, this rat race is not the end –

They will move and move untill the last breath!

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?!

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
