Just

We are both alike
You and I
I've always wondered 
Why ?

But never found the reason
Until that day
You came with a smile
Hiding dismay

How did we learn it
So much deceit
Suppressing every emotion
Never accepting defeat

But one glance was enough
For me to surmise
The graveyard under your eyes
was obvious
Indicating that emotional demise

Why are we so desperate to help
Always going out of our way
Putting so much effort to understand
Everything that looks gray

They say a woman's heart is 
a deep ocean of secrets
I say a man's is a Pandora's box
We have our own ways of protecting
Keeping scandals under locks

You kept mum for days
And I wanted you to say
So I opened all of my wounds again
Just to make you stay

I've learned that 
One gets drunk on midnight
And makes mistakes
So it is better to be quiet

But what's done is done
The devil slipped from my grasp
And opened the lock
Before I could even gasp

Soon we were engulfed in shock
And suddenly you started talking
Little did I know
That it was not my win

I had a memory 
Vain and distorted and 
shrouded in mist
It hid a demon's sin
So I was always scared to lift (the veil)

Sometimes you like to stay in doubt
Because the truth is hard to bear
And everything will stay the same
If you just pretend to be unaware

I thought I was the only one who knew
Therefore I was glad
And I shall be the only one
That's the prayer I made

Never in my wildest dreams
Did I dared to imagine
That the kid in you
Was killed in the same dungeon

We both saw things 
We both suffered in silence
We were wronged
But why did we live in penance

I felt both happy and wretched
And for you I grieved
But the fact that you knew
Also made me feel relieved

Even if there is just one person
Who knows
Almost half of
Your misery goes

Then we talked and talked and talked
Until dawn dawned upon us
We slept like babies do
After making a fuss

I don't know how you felt
But it was my job to let you know
Never choke on those emotions
Let them flow

Then you left 
Left me all alone
 with a lot to think
I put pieces together
Couldn't sleep a wink

Now it all made sense
Why we do what we do
We could've saved each other
If only we knew

We are both alike 
You and I
Now I've found out the reason
Why !

SILENCE

As the sun goes down And I sit, all alone in my room Silence envelopes me Like spring in full bloom It dissolves in the air Making it heavy and dense Then lands on my shoulders Announcing its presence The arrival of silence Is way too loud I feel like burying my ears Underneath a thick shroud It throws words at me Kind and unkind Makes me utter thoughts That I had left behind Then it seeps in Screaming inside my head Trying to wake All that is dead I ignore it, fight it And try to have my way Before I finally let it be I just push it away Then it greets me softly  Like a good old friend Who kept me company Wherever I couldn't blend For Silence always found me Trying to fit in the crowd And has reminded me again n again Of your individuality, you must be proud It has always waited patiently Whenever I go out It knows I'll be needing its embrace Without a doubt Silence has been with me For as long as I can remember In all my darkness It kept burning as an ember It never leaves me...

Cage

At the end I couldn't escape This cage And how could I When it's made of  My very bones  And locked by My very blood I sit staring At that enchanted door Only once did it open  Or so I thought  And I went out Or so did I remember  Was it all a facade Who cares Because after all All I could do was To pretend  Smiles Tears Worries Fears I could no longer differentiate  What was originally  Mine But who cares When at the end I returned  Or thrown back Into this cage again Would it have been better If I never realised  Lived all my life  Happily confined I have this thought sometimes  Because going out was no better  I got tired Of people  Of myself Of this envy  How do they do that? Why is it so easy for them? Why can't I? Why do I always have to fight? And I only took a Sigh  Then booom!! Back in the cage To be honest  I kinda felt comfortable  It has been my home after all But that's not how it work...
