To ashes, it burns.
Flannel
You might not know it, but I'm always cheering for you.
Still sitting in the shade, under the old tree where you left me
I miss you, and I love you. And, I just wish I could tell you.
Just when I thought I've lost, I laid my armor down. My warriors came. It's as if the fight isn't over, and we could just win this battle.
It wasn't a lie. Or, was it? When you said I just had to let you know if I changed my mind...
I'M HAPPY.
You sent it white
Blank and all white
Yet it pieced together all that I missed
And defined all that I wanted to exist
~BLANK & WHITE~
RUN.
In the midst of burning chaos, I cried to be with the idea of you.
When life gets tough, remember: Somewhere, someone is cheering for you. ALWAYS.
Don't worry about a thing. Karma will get them. Trash always takes itself out.
I've asked my guardian angel
to free me of all ties
And show me that side of the world
where heartless humans reside.
So I could be one of them
and be a loner soul
And play this game of earth
of treachery, cheat and foul.
He asked me, if I was
already tired of it all
Who knows if I still hadn't
experienced my worst fall.
Who knows if life has in store
For me, a deeper abyss
I have a long life ahead
so much more to live, than this.
I cried all tattered and broken
Can't do this anymore!
Have myself served on a table
And allow all devils to devour.
He laughed out loud at my misery
Said i can't give up now
With my foremost breath intake
I'd survive- was the very first vow.
He suggested I slam my heart
onto the people, places and things
And let it wound a magic carpet
from all those attached strings.
If I'd save myself too much
I won't have much to live
Life ain't a book of receipts
It's how much you've got to give.
-Vanshika Singh, Slam my heart.
"So chin up young one, make them all bow."
— Excerpt from my poem
The Pain That Was Hidden
To be my friend, you must first know how I came to be
And in doing so, you’ll find that there is more to see
To this persona I built, hidden is a call for plea
After all, I, too, am a human wanting to be free
So ask yourselves, how much do you really know me?
You see how I laugh with tears in my eyes
Yet not how I cry as I fall from the sky
Don’t you notice how my mouth feeds you lies?
Or do you only see how high I can fly?
Don’t you realize how hard it is to rise?
I wonder if you notice the sadness in my smile
How about my tears? My struggle? Is it worth your while?
You must understand that I, too, am under trial
Or you do realize that but are in denial
After all, how can I, of all people, be so fragile?
One day you’ll realize that I am only mortal
Under pain just like you, don’t be fooled by my chortle
But today is not that day as you go about your way
But do not worry for I promise I shall be okay
After all, one day this will become my yesterday
I will fight until I can no longer, to you I vow
For I am a Queen and my pain is my crown
I shall keep on fighting this war much like how I fight now
After all, I can fight even with a gown
So chin up young one, make them all bow
I hate to love you
"It was under the last night sky. Ink and diamonds were part of the dream. It was too mesmerizing to be everlasting.
I saw your tears, for the first time of my life. I didn't think you were able to do so. Crying, I mean. All so confident, strong, everytime. I knew it was a fake, a mask you liked to wear because you didn't want to show us you had your own weaknesses. And it fell down there, at the second when you leaned towards the swing. Red cheeks and broken-hearted as I have never seen before. My only concern was to reach out my arm and erase those trespassing tears on your face. My thumb upon your skin, I would have chased this sadness from you because you deserve the world. I would have given you a silent shoulder where you could have cried in silence.
No words.
Nothing.
Until your breath calm down and your hand in mine. The words 'I am here, talk if you want, cry if you wish, shout, scream I wouldn't mind. But, please, come to me when you feel down." You remained silent.
Yet.
Yet you didn't come. You didn't leave your head on my shoulder. You didn't let me take your hand. You didn't care about my loyalty, my warmth, my friendship, my love and my shattered heart while I was watching you fall apart in your 'brother's arms'. I was held at bay, not approaching because I would have cause kind of a blasphemy.
No.
Never.
Did I worth so little in your eyes? Did you even consider me as a person who could have feelings for you?
No.
I want to turn my back, to get away. I should do it. Though, I know I'm unable of doing so. Because I love you too much to let you go.
I hate loving you."
