The Circle

I've been running in circles, taking all the rights only to turn up at the wrong place. Only for this circle to be full of everything I want to run from.  Running so fast away from it, fearing falling back into it. The more I run, the more it tugs me back, pulling me in. The rope digs into my ankle skin and cuts through it like acid. But despite having the scissors in my hand I cannot cut it. Even if it cuts my skin, pulling me in, I can't do it. Even if it ruins me, holding me back, I can't do it. I don't know why I am doing this to myself, but I can't bring myself to cut it. It's hurting, paining, and burning, but it makes me run back to it. I don't know why I am doing this to myself, but I can't stop myself. Maybe I'm a moth drawn to fire, but I am still there, letting it burn me.

The bottle of Guilt

Holds liquids in a gogo Enough for what you need when you’re on the go. Easy to carry, easier than the weight of guilt, The contains, restores the appetency and quells it. Tears flowing down, quenches the thirst,  The dryness can be eased but not the pain from the hurt. Tears flowing down, wets the cheeks,  Lightens the heart, empties the contains in grief. You carry it around until the contains are no more, Just like the same guilt and heartsore.  But you have to be careful with this too,  Because sometimes this can also be made of glass, Just like your fragile heart. - Aditi Satwat

Back to square one

Image
After all these months After all the battling After a year of surviving  After a year of fighting After trying all the possible dishes After a year of playing every credible indoor games After sleeping for long mornings and eating and repeating After all the attempts gone to flames After all the lockdowns and homemade cakes for birthdays After all the helpings and losses After struggling in all attainable ways We are back to square one. – Aditi Satwat

The Perfect Song

Standing in the rain, feeling drenched with pain I wonder what went wrong.  Standing in an empty road, realizing the heart ain't taking any more load.  I ask myself where I went wrong.  I loved you more than anything.  That's where, I guess, things started to mean nothing.  It was always about you, never me.  Maybe that's why you never really cared how I feel. But now I know where I went wrong. Loving you more than everything wasn't just the perfect song.  The song had a missing part,  Maybe about the missing self love in my heart.  Seeing you walk away,  I realized, I cared too much to love myself in that way.  But now I know the meaning of this word.  It is the most important thing in this mad world.  Standing in the rain, feeling the drops of joy on me.  I wonder, is this how I was supposed to feel? Standing in an empty road, dancing like a mad woman, because I know no one can see,  And even if they do, I don'...

Walk Of Life

Image
 Life isn't a cake walk,  Life is a walk through a rose garden.                                                                                                                                                                       Where The Roses you do see, But the Thorns They cover you are unable to foresee. That's how problems come in your life, First it feeds you with a silver spoon, Then stabs you in the guts like a knife. But you forget about the camouflage soon, Because again All you see are petals that make you swoon. 

Innocuousness of a child

 '' There are no seven wonders in the world in the eyes of children, there are seven million.''                                                                                                                                - Walt Streightiff  Ever heard a child questioning everything in a million different ways and not get tired anyway? Well thats innocence and curiosity combined. That's the amazing thing about them, their harmlessness and purity. They never stop exploring the world. The charm of a kid's innocence is irreplaceable. That is what makes this world a better place. A place where one can enjoy the purity and truly feel loved and to love. The magic, th...

Heart-Shaped Herbs : Tribute to Chadwick Boseman

Image
 If only there was a heart shaped herb to get you back or something else to reshape our broken hearts. With you leaving us, the year couldn't get worse, but maybe this was better for you. Better for you, and now a battle for us, in our hearts, with our emotions. Maybe now you are with the people you love, leaving behind the people who love you. Maybe from now, happiness will be all you get and we will move on with the sorrow concealed in our hearts. Sorrow of the fall of another great superhero. But if only there was a heart-shaped herb for all the fallen ones. If only there was a heart-shaped herb to get back the people we love. But there isn't a heart-shaped herb, there isn't any getting back. There isn't a heart-shaped herb to get you live more,  But you will live for many more years, in the hearts of the people who love you. -Aditi Satwat (a kosher fan) ............ In the loving memory of Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020) We will miss you our beloved Black Panther. Rest...
