Unwanted Reflection.

 When you peer at the water at your reflection,

That reflection doesn't say much.

That reflection doesn't show the pain behind that smile,

There are no eyes that haven't cried,

there is no soul which hasn't tried,

no face that hasn't screamed,

no heart which hasn't redeemed.

And yet we try to be perfect.

The reflection is not believable to believe in but what is, it's your within.

Easier To Kill.

You traveled everywhere, I became your water.                                                  You wanted something, so I became your quarter.  You built walls, somehow between us,                   I knew, that but, still for you I again ignored her.     You broke me, I became the pieces of your shattered glass, When you left me, somehow I was glad, now that I was a queen instead of your pawn, I know you missed the girl I were, now that I buried her at dawn.                                                      -Rabani Dhingra

Hiding inside

Image
I am excited and I am crying, I am afraid and I am hiding, I am winning and I am sighing,  I don't know what is this tradition of not knowing what you feel,  not knowing what to say, or perhaps not knowing what to fear I am building a wall brick by brick of my fear. Perhaps I don't feel what I care, or I myself don't want to share.                                                         -Rabani Dhingra

SCAR

Image
 I was lost in a village, now, I have a scar, Now I am a part of them away from the city far,  I climbed the hopes and their bars.                                        I left the stereotypes. Now I know I will survive, I have a lot inside,           I had a lot and, now they will realize, they don't have the right to characterize, I got nothing to generalize. I will fight for every person who will get stereotyped, I will make sure they will get liked, People may think I am psyched, but what do they know everyone, knows that they are disliked!                                                                                         ...
