Ever since I was a kid,
The answer was deeply hid -

Am I unique?
Or am I just a part of something big?
I can't handle
falling in love
because without you
I am only falling
crashing
breaking
burning
and my demons tell me
I am not good enough
not pretty enough
not skinny enough
and they don't stop
until you're with me
and tell them
to go away
so baby
please
stay.

I have never thanked you,
for the conversations.

I have never thanked you,
for the smile.

I have never thanked you,
for asking me how i'm really doing.

I have never thanked you,
for staying alive.

Thank you,
thank you.

Often times, reaching outwards is the wrong way to go
When inwards, the answer is known
We often seek people's approval
While giving that still inner voice a dismissal!

Isn't it
fascinating
to think
that we aren't that far away
44 minutes
and 1 day
till I'll say
I've been waiting to see
you
my
friend
I find it interesting that someone you want to see or spend time with could be so close, yet out of reach for whatever reason.

She was beautiful as the sunset

But her soul was darker than the night

She was so easy to smile
But her smile was full of deceit

I thought she was a friend from when I first saw her,

She was charming and sweet and very beautiful,

Soon we became close and I would say even inseparable,

But in beneath the beauty, she was just a facade,

Like an illusion she was hypnotic,

Her mannerism was full of elegance,

Deep down she was an earth filled with secrets,

Her only flaw, she was a beautiful liar,

And my only flaw was I believed her,

I thought our friendship was a garden of dandelions,

Dreamy and aloof from the world,

Later i realised it was just a garden with weeds that were toxic,

With every secret I shared, I thought I was watering a beautiful garden,

But then later, she would come to prune and plant seeds of deceit,

Everytime I let her into my soul, everytime she would intoxicate me with lies,

I thought we would be forever, the kind of friendship to pass onto generations to come,

This was until I found out she had been feeding me lies and lies,

Everything about her was based on a lie,

From her gentle smile to her graceful walks,

From her fake loyalty to her easy charm,

She indeed was beautiful to the eye,

But all that beauty was nothing because her heart was full of illusion

I bet herself, she believed in her lies that she carried them around with such ease,

She was a beautiful liar and I once believed her,

I once was hypnotised by her, but now I know better,

The beautiful girl was just but a beautiful liar
P. S She necessarily doesn't have to be a person but rather an addiction, a bad habit that you think benefits you but in real sense it is just harmful

YOUrself?
