Art (Unknown)

I will never be a poem, beautifully composed. I will never be a song, sung on tiptoes. I will never be a novel, Written for a world unknown. I am doomed to this life, Where I remain an unfinished thought, An unsung melody, with a broken heart.

Fighting confessions

I remember that night When we stared at each other across the room In the fading daylight. We just had a fight Leaving the night so quiet The fire the only light So dull yet so bright Accusations were thrown, Pillows and vases followed, As the rest of the world

Breathe

I feel a storm pulling me under, It drags me down, tearing me asunder. I can't breathe, My throat is clogged. "Can't you see?" I want to scream. "See what your words do to me!" I trusted you with a piece of

Accolades

Hey guys! I wanted to share some personal achievements of this year that I was pretty proud of. Here's hoping for more!

Another Life

In another life, I would have walked, not ran. In another life, I would have been more serious, had a better plan. In another life, I would have laughed more, been happier. In another life, I would have been nicer, not such a --- In another life I would loved

Broken Bonds

Laughter spills in empty halls as my brother bounced around the walls. Childhood joy lights his face and Oh! how I hope my shadow never extinguishes his flame. He slips through my fingers, runs further away, and with every step he takes, thread by thread, our bond breaks. Watching shows

HER

I stare across the room, You're talking with her. Smiles wide, eyes sparkling, I wish I was her. Tears spill across my face as you lean into her. You stand a breath away, then you twirl her. She is everything that I want to be. Perfect and beautiful,

LEGALIZATION OF GAY MARRIAGE

In honor of gay marriage being legalized in the US, I made a little comic.

Angst poem dump

If I should die before you wake, Don't cry, don't ache. It was a life well lived, a soul well-loved. And if I had to change something, It would be to use that last wasted day. It was a sunny day, the brightest in years. But

MY WISH

It's been 10 years since I saw you. The pain hasn't faded from the day I rue. If I could go back and rewrite the past, I would change it so you were never the hero. No glory, no fame, No adventures, no name. You would

Appearance doesn't matter

Blonde or blue, They are all just hues. Thin or chubby, They all just want a hubby. So much worry about appearances, and all that stress of "differences", That love isn't given away without any references. Love isn't a transaction, it can't

Murder Queen Prologue

There is a bloody body in my bed. My stomach dropped, turned to lead. I know that face, would know it in death, although it is she who is now devoid of breath. I felt so numb, like I was dumped in ice water. We were supposed to have more

Curse

"She's a beauty," they said, "She mine." growled the ones who led. Cherry red lips, white as moon hips. Dark chocolate eyes, hypnotizing even the best spies. Voice as sweet as honey, with all the innocence of a bunny. An open book they see,

Revenge

She hacked at his face, A vision in lace. She smiled at the mess, a crime that she was more than happy to confess. Red stained her hands, silence broken by the distant bands. "Revenge is sweet," they said, but his blood was as coppery as the rest.

Poem dump

"Are you male?" they ask. "No," I say, with an undecipherable mask. "Are you female?" they ask. "No," I say, my answer always steadfast. "How are you neither?" they cry. "I just am," is my reply. "Tell

Jallianwala Bagh

We took to the streets, but with silence and peace. We wanted independence to show our feats, And we wanted to get it with the harmlessness of trees. But they advanced on us, with their swords and horses and guns. They painted the streets red, on orders of General Dyer,

What if.... dreams came true?

That in itself sounds like a dream, doesn't it? To have all that you could ever want with just a thought. And it would be all fun and games for a while. I will not go into much detail about all the great things that this would bring,

What if.... love did not exist?

Think about your parents, siblings, family members, and friends. Think about the objects that you have owned for a long time. You can't imagine living without them, can you? That is because of love. Love is the glue that holds us together, tethers us, motivating us to be

What if... there were no trees?

The world's so grey, at least from the spot where I lay. We can't breathe, not without your beautiful leaves. Life is dead, because you kept us fed. We took you for granted, so it's in your right to make us wait until you

What if.... destiny and free will are intertwined?

The argument of whether our future is defined by destiny or the choices we make with free will is an age-old one. Some want to believe that there is a higher being pulling the strings, that we are merely players in a predetermined story, following rules and plotlines that we

What if.....?

Life is a collection of what-ifs, so I decided to create one of my own. I will be posting articles and poems and maybe the occasional story under this collection. The updates will be sporadic, but I will try to update at a regular pace as much as I can.

Challenge art

My cousin challenged me to draw this drawing so I did. It is extremely easy, but art is art, and I wanted to try out a new brush (the splotches in the hair).

poem

Silence's reason

People ask us to talk about our feelings like it is easy. But it is one of the hardest things to do. The fear of inadequacy, of being rejected, of not being understood holds us back. I wanted to capture these emotions in the best way I know how, through poems.

Feminism

Women were one of the most suppressed groups in history. To get their rights, women started to revolt, giving birth to feminism. Quite simply, feminism is about all genders having equal rights and opportunities. It’s about leveling the playing field between genders, and ensuring that diverse women and girls
