    I sit to write something,But not sure about what to write.Should I write the tale of my heart,Or is it too cheesy to start?Should I write about all the things I do?Hoping someone would follow the suit.Or should I write about how I slipInto the sessions of daydreaming trips?Should I write about the mind and […]

I am not here to fit,Neither am I here to misfit;I am here to experience life,Through the lens of my tiny eye. I understand things differently,And I may react weirdly;Because my triggers are […]

    Ask me about my poisonAnd I’ll reply – thinking;More than what I should,More than what I must! I ponder over what-ifs,I ponder over maybes;I create situations unrealistic,Replay until on them, I fix. I suffer in my mind,I go through the pain;Of things and people,Even though it may never rain.

    Maybe this is you

    Being hurt by people is inevitable. Being hurt by yourself is worst. Those broken promises leave you doubtful.You surround yourself with walls.You become too afraid to be vulnerable.You become more comfortable with distancing yourself.You create new hobbies and engage your mind.You laugh and dance. Meditate and travel.Once in a while you feel lonely.But you think […]

    Blame game

    “You always blame me for what happened”; “Why am I always responsible for anything that goes wrong?” If this is what something you keep telling or wondering, chances are you are the one blaming yourself rather than others around you. You need to recognize the pattern of automatically holding yourself responsible for everything around you. […]
