about being sad and suicidal,
Everyone appreciated & applauded,
and her poem went viral,

But no one asked her
if she was better now,
What did it take for her to write
something that no one cared about?

The emotion involved gets aesthetic,
Everyone cares about the art,
Not so much about the artist.”

I’m seeing all the unwanted

To ignore the whispers
I listen to all the sirens

To speak nothing

Makes no sense in scenes


But I guess my sanity is in
Keeping all my sins”

By wearing an emotion for too long,
A heavy clock that weighs me down

But also kept me stagnant, unable to transform.”

Lit in broad daylight

A song loses its allure when it plays
Amid a cacophony of noise

Abundant and easily accessible

Nothing that you do is your fault or your mistake,
It’s just that you’re in the WRONG PLACE!!”
