Dare to!

You have appointed a task to yourself,
If you don't find a way,
Who will?
If you don't keep it well,
Who will?
You know what you must do.
It is just you and do not be afraid.
Even the ant bears the power to change
The whole course and fate of the world.

There, the darkness set loose,
The light itself must be brought here,
It will never stop its hunt,
Always chasing its need for light.
Dark loves and hates the light,
As dark loves and hates itself.
Darkness has its own sad story,
It was light once, before illusion found it.
Illusion drove it mad and cold.
Do not pity it, for light chose its own road.

You may feel nothing, numb and hollow,
Like you have fallen into shadow,
Not yet knowing your full purpose,
Of being alive and walking this earth.
Do not let emptiness fill your heart,
Do not let tears become your only truth.
There is hope, and it belongs to you.
Illusion cannot poison what lives deep in your soul.

Darkness has always had its part to play,
For good or evil, in every tale told.
Many who carry light deserve the darkness,
Some who carry darkness deserve the light.
So do not rush to judge another's road,
Even the wisest cannot see the end of the tale.

Your heart already knows
That darkness had to come,
Before the light could haunt it away.
The fate of darkness rules the fate of many,
But light has ruled this earth too,
Beside every woeful dark.

We will wish that darkness never comes,
But we are not the ones to decide that.
All we can decide
Is what to do with the time we have.

Thus, my friend and dweller of earth,
Have hope and faith in yourself.
Rise up from the darkness,
Let the illusion be cast away.
Make your life a great tale,
Something that feels like a fairy tale.
Even those who never wanted to understand
Will feel the weight of your adventure.

Then you will have your victory
The victory that truly matters,
Earned through darkness and danger,
Through every hard and heavy path.
Because how could the light not come?
Cheer yourself with words of victory.
You are meant to have this life,
And so are all of us who dwell on earth.

But in the end,
It is just the passing of time.
Even darkness has not ruined you.
A new day will begin
When the sun starts rising,
Shining clearer and brighter than before.
All of it was part of your tale,
And every part of it mattered.
But I think, my friend, I think
You already understand.
There were many ways to turn back,
But you never did.
You kept going, on and on.

You let the winter come,
And eventually, you brought the spring,
Because everything you are holding onto,
There is so much good in this world.
And it is worth it.
Dare to.

Be human not patriotic

The definitions may differ But the idea remain same Human may differ But the humanity remain same The tears of fear, the revolution for boundary. We are of earth not earth is of ours, Roamers creating rumour, Of nature entirely unnatural, Defining identity with opinions, But opinion isn't identity, Breaking the law of identity. Creating the chaos in calmness, Diluting the water with impurity, Pebbling the peace with violence, Being patriotic forgetting humanity, Life of one is greater than country. Emotion of one is more than thought, Politics being corrupted, With the lust of power, Avoiding the reality; We are of earth not earth of ours Thus, be human not patriotic........

The Best Life?

Life itself is a question, very hard to answer — or an answer to a question never asked. Along with this dire doubt, adding the adjective in front of it without any clarification is weird, if you ask me. But what determines good or bad, better or worse, best or worst? Any combination of these two adjectives gives meaning when attached to life, yet the meaning shifts depending on who is holding the measuring stick and what century they happen to be standing in. In times past, priests set the rules for the best life. Connecting or being close to the divine — obedience, ritual, humility before God — these were the coordinates by which a life could be plotted and judged. The blueprint was clear. Follow it and you were promised something beyond this life, which conveniently made the suffering inside this life easier to tolerate and easier to administrate. But did these rules ever work for all humans to have a good life? The serf who prayed daily and died young of famine was technically foll...

THE SILENT VOICES

Preface I didn't write this poem to be a poet. I wrote it because I kept watching people fall, into darkness, into numbness, into the kind of life that moves but doesn't feel. And I couldn't stop seeing it. The ones who run the streets at midnight. The ones who reach for something holy and come back with bloody hands. The ones who know exactly what freedom would feel like but stand trembling at the door of it. This poem is for them. It is also, honestly, for me. It is loud because the silence was louder. It is messy because the truth usually is. It reaches for Nietzsche and Gollum and E=mc² not to sound clever but because that is genuinely how a mind in pain moves, everywhere at once, grabbing at anything that might explain the weight. I don't know if it is a good poem. I know it is an honest one. If you are someone who has ever felt too awake for this world, too aware, too feeling, too much, then maybe some line in here will find you. That is all I was ever hoping for....
