Aai

I will not say that she has her arms spread around us to keep us safe,
Because they are the strong pillars that keep our roof safe.
I will not say that she walks with us in each part of life,
Because she watches us as we make our own choices.
She knows what it is to be independent
And to be happy through your own efforts.
I will not say that she told us stories of bravery and honesty while going to bed,
Because hers was enough to make us understand those things.
I will not say that she is right all the time,
But she taught me that having your own opinions makes you strong, even if others may not agree.
I will not say that she is perfect,
But she showed me that imperfection is beautiful sometimes.
I will not say that i am like her,
But i always try to find ways in which i can be.
I will not say that she is an oldie,
Because she listens to Ed Sheeran with me and sings along!
I will not say that she has the perfect sense of direction,
But she found the perfect one to reach her destination.
Her voice fills the room with sweetness
But at the same time tells me that to be able to stand on your own, you need to be bitter sometimes.
She also taught me to fight for what is right and that truth has only one face.
She caresses me with her hands and
Shoves off all the worries off my forehead.

I love you, she says everyday before i sleep,
And then i sing and dance with her in my dreams.

Audacity

I am proud to live in this generation.
This generation with young
poets, artists,thinkers and especially dreamers,
who express themselves boldly and proudly.
I am proud to live in this generation.
Where we are driven by phones.
The internet is our house and we are
wealthy enough to call it ours.
People say we live in a concrete jungle-
So be it.
I say it loud and I say it clearly.
I live in this generation .
Social media is our playground
where each day some kids get into a fight and some solve it.

Yes our life is drowned in technology.
Yes our eyes are always shining because of the screen light.
But don;t you see how lit our faces become because of the light?
Yes we hate it when ANYONE disrespects our tech.
The street lights are our stars
The LED light is our sun.
We are fascinated by Vines and Snapchat stories.
New posts are our energy drinks and
we become weak if we don't see new ones.

You see, we are addicted to being the boss of our playground.
You may not like this generation, but we do.
We are part of this generation who consider phones our chuddy-buddies.
And trust me these buddies are true friends!

So the next time you wanna say that
"This generation is nothing but Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat ",

Please go ahead and deactivate all your accounts.

Anti- Gravity

I'm confined to this dark blue curtain,
Which shows me new lights everyday
They shine so beautifully, but I know I can't touch them.
They may bruise these hands which often ask for anything that brings happiness.

This metal beast slowly shows signs of weakness.
It has given me so much that I forget about the distance I keep from home now.
It has given me life and the will to survive this confinement.
I float in this beast, forgetting what my body looks like.
How my skin used to define my body and how I used to love it.
And how it feels hollow now.

Age and time have held hands and fled far away from me.
They never looked back to come sit with me and talk to me.
Maybe they went home to meet you.

I wonder what home looks like now.
I wonder if that  cobbled street is still there
If my room still holds my fragrance
If the city has slept yet
If you look up at the sky and wonder where I might be.

I have got used to this confinement.
The beast often talks to me and asks how I'm doing.
I always have the same answer-"never been better!"

I know I wont see home again
So make sure to welcome my soul with a proud smile when it comes to you.
I know I wont see home again
Because the beast told me that it is time.
I know I wont see home again
But make sure it stays the way I left it.
I know I wont see home again
But make sure to look up at the sky wonder where I might be.
