At Times..

I stand by the mirror and I look
Into me; there's a dark colored book
Of my thoughts and distinct feelings
As I watch through my reflection
My eyes drop a tear and a question
Will anyone drop by to read into me?
---------------------------------------------
Sun takes refuge and wind calls people outside
A sudden smile shapes in and I go out to see
The chill of the world; contrasts my inside
This weather; makes me wanna play
But, I keep standing on the rooftop
For I have no one to read into me
And have fun with; let my heart out
It hurts till the depth of my heart; and
At times I wish I were dead.
--------------------------------------------
I am the brittle one who will be there
Whenever you call him; wish for him
I am that who will listen to you
Whenever you want him to
I am nothing but a sequestered bloke
Who will smile to you and do anything
If you share some words and read into him
For he is tired of listening to his reflection.
-------------------------------------------

Looking outside, I see a bird enjoying this beautiful cool weather. I wanted to go out today, I wanted to have fun. I wanted to be the one I always had been, until someone killed everything inside me. I feel trapped. I feel devoid. I feel caged. Hey reader, if you're feeling what I am feeling, you probably know, sometimes death looks easy.

I actually liked your poem until I read the last line. What's happened to you? For every one person who you're crying for, there are 10 who're crying for you, those who hate your tears. There's a lot of love in the world, and not just in one form.

Stay khush yaar! You get just one life! Smile and enjoy.

At times,
it's the waiting and wishing that make the having worth it all the more in the end :)

man see what he chooses to see....

i liked this post but i can not interpret ur imagination on a complete dark side..
a single moment can become devoid but not the life,no-one dies till he touches his last target to satisfaction...it's just that for a moment we start giving importance to something which is totally devoid of everything,to something that does not hold a bit of importance in front of our own mirror image..

Try to watch that reflected side once again -u will look a person who always stands by ur side-ur ownself-that doesn't disappear untill u consider it to be broken....

I won't say, I can't, what I really wanted to. I fear saying it.

It really makes me sad Rachit(I am sorry, I won't address you as Leo today) for you're facing a lone wall and somehow trying to break it by scratching it, when in reality there's nothing behind that wall, except darkness.

If only you'd turn and face the opposite side, you'll see light. Something different, something unknown and excitement to reach that unknown will completely make you forget that wall, without you even noticing it.

At times..a transparent glass is better to look into than a mirror. :)

I triggered some emotions in me which I though were dead. Anyways I want you to be what you were. I want to see the brighter side of Leo.

Me said...

I strongly believe that sometimes pain manages to bring out the best in us which was hiding till now. But somehow I miss Rachit a lot.. the old one. Full of life, bubbly, cheerful..whose posts would send a wave of joy to all the readers.

Leo...believe me no one on this earth has the right to do this to you. Please don't let anyone treat you like this.....Every individual has the right to survive and if any day need be, please snatch it from someone but - SURVIVE with your head held high..

@IQ: ^ Thank you so much IQ! I am so very pleased and overwhelmed as I read these questions. You made my day. :)
I'll post this as soon as I get some free time in the near future. I have included your award with a backlink in my 'Appreciations' tab. :)

@Rudraprayaga: Thank you so very much! You are indeed right!

@Me: You and your words will definitely help him get back with his Sentimientos. Prepare the welcomings! ;)

@Saru: Thank you so much Saru. You'll definitely see the better side of Leo with time. :)

@Usama: Loved the last line of your comment!
Maybe you're right. Maybe I am just being overtly and mawkishly sentimental. Maybe it's all gone and I should leave by my hopes. Maybe the sunlight is sure to rise in sometime. Soon. :)

@Amita: Thank you so much Amita! A comment from you surely has made me smile a bit more than usual. You are indeed right when you ask me to see the brighter side of this only life. :)

@Ashna: Thank you so much Ashna! Thank you for being the one who gives me immense positive energy and courage to get out of this pit and start over again. I want you to be there forever. :)

I don't like your sad poems :/
#genuine comment!

Leonardo said...

@Saloni: Well, neither do I! :/
I hate every word written up above and I wish it should never have happened to me.

Leo, I've nearly read all your posts. It was on a rainy night when I didn't have any books to read, as I had finished those that I had bought. But I still had this urge to read. It was then that I read two blogs back to back. One was Expressions by a fellow blogger and the other, no surprise, was yours. I loved and adored that positivity, cheerfulness and genuinity that your posts had. They are very genuine even now, but I miss those happy emotions. I miss smiling after reading your post.

Bad things happen Rachit. But please remember that it is in our power to move on after them. It is indeed a choice we make and I hope you make the right one. Bring back the old Rachit soon!

Looking forward to seeing a stronger, wiser and happier you. For pain has the power to make us all this and helps us realize what a blessing each minute of happiness is. :)

Love and hugs!


P.S: I did not intend to offend or hurt you in anyway ok? I just typed what I felt. Just genuine feelings.

Leonardo said...

@Aaekay: Thank you so very much! You comment was no where near hurting me. Instead, it brought me a long lost smile on my face! This is one of the best comments I have received and I am so glad that you liked this place; my place. :)

I promise that I would leave all the past in my past and soon move on to create a different start, for the better. Hope you'll be here to read and support always 'cause I think I'll be needing people like you. :)

AaeKay :) said...

Always around to support you Rachit! Just a blog address away! :)

This comment made me smile. :) Hope your transition from this phase to a new, beautiful phase is smooth with no hitches and is filled with joy and laughter!!

Living is a challege. Not dying. Dying is so easy. Sometimes it only takes ten seconds to die. But living? That can take you eighty years and you do something in that time, soldier, barrister or anything you sir have wished for. You've accomplished something. To throw that away at such a young age, to have no hope, is the biggest tragedy.

P/s : You sir inspires me.. never stop writing :) feelings and emotions are what makes us human, eh? :) and not in anyway i might understand what you're going through but life goes on :) it's a challenge.

@Terenceng: Thank you so much for your kind words terenceng! Loved your comment. :)
