Woodpecker
Two woodpeckers on the same tree,
Both living how they wish to be.
A calm and cautious, a chaotic and turbulent,
A steady and clear, a wild without fear.
A house perfectly made,
Black and white.
A house made with grooves,
Filled with life.
"Can't you be quiet?"
"Can't you be loud?"
A question they both would ask,
While hiding behind a careful mask.

Question!!!
Do y'all believe in speciesism? I didn't even know it was a concept. I know the majority of readers of this post will be non vegetarians and I heard two pov's- their lifestyle, their choice and second that it's a simple concept where we're hurting and eating animals. What do y'all think? It should be a concept or is it an annoying truth?

Rant 2.0
I always used to watch youtube and stuff everytime I do something. But the thing is I started questioning everything on YouTube suggestions and I uncovered the blindsided part of YouTube for myself. The entertainment videos? Views and likes in millions. The educational lectures and full serious from even prestigious universities like MIT, yale, Columbia stays at max 900 views. It's quite embarrassing honestly. The rich, absurd vultures getting famous for the most insane things is honesty the worst thing I've ever seen.

Misfits
We are the misfits, the wild, the bold.
A story of heartbreaks, yet hearts of gold.
A crazy shit, a dyslexic mess and a gay girlie.
All of us with stories to confess.
A chaos I met in year 7, it all began.
A friend whose love never met its plan.
Tenth year brought me a dyslexic mess,
Friendship broken, leaving scars and distress.
Eleventh year brought a girl who knew,
a love so deep, yet crushed it too.
We've picked up each other from the road of pain Through storms of life and beaded chains.
So there we are, in...

Yellow sweater
A yellow sweater, soft and warm,
Wrapped around me in the night.
His arms, unknown, but felt like home,
In the slumber, I was lost.
I held on as if to never let go,
My tears would fall.
A quiet cry,
No words at all.
I woke up, cheeks damp,
Their warmth lingering as if they were ever there.
The warmth stayed close,
A quiet ache, him I called, a home
Wrapped around me in the night.
His arms, unknown, but felt like home,
In the slumber, I was lost.
I held on as if to never let go,
My tears would fall.
A quiet cry,
No words at all.
I woke up, cheeks damp,
Their warmth lingering as if they were ever there.
The warmth stayed close,
A quiet ache, him I called, a home

nothing stays mine
Whatever i do,
however i do
It is never enough.
No perfect family,
no perfect love,
I did think I had my own person,
God never did.
I wish to live in my own world?
or was i forced to?
I never knew.
Have you ever seen scars on wrists?
or semi-colons in life?
you didn't, i see,
why don't you meet me?
I don't want love, i don't need care.
I'm all alone, i just need some air.
Even if i get someone, I always know
They are destined to let go.

I NEVER KNEW
I never understood people who
gave their life up
over something or someone.
How bad can it be?
How sad can it be?
I think i understand now.
When the always 'gifted kid' fails,
i understand how addicting the crimson trail of the wrist gets.

ART OF LETTING GO
Is there any art in letting go?
Because i let go.
What do i do?
Frame my tears?
Or tame my fears?
Can everything really turn happy?
I,too, wished to see the ‘half glass full’
But i didn’t, when they left me in a jiffy.
I thought I was the epitome of bravery.
Turns out there was no one worse than me.
I'm lost, baby,
I'm so lost.
Have seen my home breaking apart.
Made paper boats every time i looked at you to hold myself up.
Couldn’t save the titanic though.
But the thing i thought at last, was me finally getting rest.

Paper boats
Watched you from afar,
always metres away,
The way you laughed with your friends,
cliche?
There was something about you,
your eyes, your kindness.
The little metro tickets i had
turned into little boats
everytime you looked into my eyes.
Just yesterday,
i let them off in rain
since it’s time to let you go
isn’t that the final step of falling for you?

Six feet under
Not a good start
Certainely not a good one.
Didn’t end well too.
But it’s fine
I loved the moments with you.
Even if they were not made with me,
She was here before me.
she’s pretty, smart and kind too
if one of dies, i hope it’s me
coz i dont wanna be here without you.
Maybe that’s my core.
Making my life about someone else.
Darling, still remember,
even if I’m six feet under,
I’d listen to you talk about your day.
