“I am not angry,
I am not sad,
I have no questions,
I need no answers,
For, I am numb.

I can’t cry,
I can’t smile,
I can’t laugh,
I can’t giggle,
For, I feel numb.

I don’t argue,
I don’t think,
I don’t talk,
I can’t fight,
For, I feel numb and
Somehow, I just know
Being ‘numb’ is worse
Than anything else!”
― Jyoti Patel

“You are like a rose
Soft, glowing and evolving
It’s time for you
To let go of the deadly thorns

Never trust
The guy who claims
He misses you but never puts
In effort to actually
Set plans with you

Fall in love
With someone
Who helps you to fly high
And not with someone
Who cannot lift you up
When you crash down

You are like a rose
Soft, glowing and evolving
It’s time for you
To let go of the deadly thorns”
― Jyoti Patel

“Society is broken
The one who tells you,
You are not beautiful
Is broken
The one who cannot
See the good in you
Is broken
The one who cannot
Cheer you up but,
Instead plays with
Your heart is broken!
They are all broken
Don’t break yourself for any!”
― Jyoti Patel

“I will stay…
As long as you’re holding my hands
I will forgive…
As long as you’re willing to change
I will fight…
As long as you stand with me
I will support…
As long as you do the same
I will stay…
As long as you need ‘us’
I will stay,
I will forgive,
I will fight,
I will support,
I will…
As long as you do the same.”
― Jyoti Patel

“They tell you
That the world will love you back
If you love yourself enough
I am sorry to say
It doesn’t really work in that way
Know your worth
When someone treats you like
You are ordinary
Know your worth
When he fails to appreciate you
Know your worth
When he tells you that
He no longer needs you
Know your worth
When she cannot love you fully
Know your worth
They tell you
That the world will love you back
If you love yourself enough
I am sorry to say
It doesn’t really work in that way”
― Jyoti Patel

“With a strange smile
and slightly bending her face
she looked up at the sky
and noticed the birds
sitting in silence and
a horse with the broken legs
and the strange part was that
she saw herself in a tigress
that is lonely and lost
with a sly sheep”
― Jyoti Patel

“When I give,
It doesn’t come with expectations.
It doesn’t happen,
With terms and conditions.
When I give,
I don’t expect you
To give back more.
When I give,
I just give and keep giving more
For, I value you
For, I want us to be happy
For, I care about the little things
For, I want you to feel ‘special’
I give, for, I actually
Have this habit of giving
But, the moment
I decide to leave
I make sure that I do it
And then,
Though you come back and promise
To bring the moon, the sun and
All the stars in the sky above
I don’t return . . .
I don’t return . . .
I don’t return . . .”
― Jyoti Patel

“I fell in love with you
For once, twice, thrice and
A thousand million times
From the time I know you

I waited for you like
How the sky waits for the moon
The moon arrives every night
But you are nowhere
Near my sight

Holding the
Broken pieces
Of my heart
I longed for you
Now, my words are angry
With your silence
Holding the
Broken pieces
Of my heart
I am leaving you
Though
I fell in love with you
For once, twice, thrice and
A thousand million times
From the time I know you”
― Jyoti Patel

“I don’t speak a word about you but,
You are there in every word I speak.

I may forgive you
On the day when my heart no longer
Whispers your name or
On the day
I no longer see you in my dreams.

You were my dream in the day time
Now, I am going to hide you
In my silence
All through the night.

I don’t speak a word about you but,
You are there in every word I speak.”
― Jyoti Patel

“I try to hide you
With the silence
But, my eyes
Say the unsaid words and
Speak in the loudest volume.

In your hesitation,
I found my answers.
In your silence,
I found my answers.

Sometimes,
I laugh at myself
So much that
The tears roll down and
Reach to my cracked lips.

I try to hide you
With the silence
But, my eyes
Say the unsaid words and
Speak in the loudest volume.”
― Jyoti Patel

“This day,
I want you to question yourself,
“How can the one
Who never understood
The meaning of your words
Can understand
The power of your silence?”

This day,
I want you to question yourself,
“How can the one
Who never stood for you
Can stand with you
In the future?”

This day,
I want you to question yourself,
“How can the one
Who left you in the silence
The one,
Who never calmed you down
The one,
Who said you are not strong
The one,
Who heard your trembling voice,
Saw your crying face
And still left you always…
Will he keep you happy?”
― Jyoti Patel

“Don’t forget to
raise your voice
when their words
hurt your soul.

Don’t forget to shove,
when they try to hush you.

If every time you look
at yourself, and
all that you can see is
the ruined mascara,
dry lips and burning eyes
Girl,
that’s the proof for you
to pack your bags and leave.

If they bury you
with the roses and
burn you alive
with their words
Girl,
that’s the proof for you
to pack your bags and leave.

Don’t forget to
raise your voice
when their words
hurt your soul.

Don’t forget to shove,
when they try to hush you.”
― Jyoti Patel

“يهمنّي عاد لي، ما هم كم غابا
… فالبعد لا يجعل العشاق أغرابا
وتبت عن حبه؟ إني جننت به
… ذنب الذي تاب يومًا أنه تابا
أحبه حين يأتي وهو مرتبكٌ
وحين يشرح كالأطفال أسبابا
وحين يقسم أني بيت غربته
وحين يشعلني شمعًا ومحرابا
وكلما خاب ظني فيه يغمرني
حتى يسامحه قلبي الذي ذابا”
― Mahdi Mansour
