shh...they are elders

I was a little child
When that elder ones
Were beating a kind man
I tried to stop them
But my dad said
"Shhh.. they are your elders"

I was of 12
When my elder schoolmates
Were irritating an innocent girl
I told to my teachers
And they said "Shhh..don't tell anyone"
For their school's reputation

I was of 15
When my grandpa did something
I was angry on him
And stepped forward to fight
But my mom stopped me saying,
"Shhh.. respect your elders, go and apolozise"

I was of 17
When a relative touched me
I raised my voice again
And everyone said
"Keep shame in your eyes, they are elders
Whatever they do is alright"

Now, when everyone using me
Killing me hardly from inside
How will I break the silence
When I know my voice will left unheard
Cause they think I'm lying
Since they're elders, and Me?
Am I a child?

Birth in real

  The day i learnt to live Was the day i took birth in real When days were passing in sorrows I remember the candle burning there When i was lying down, freezing Your warm hand was rescuing me It was too calm that i couldn't stop To hold it for the rest of my life When i was falling under the sea Your love kept holding me up And you are the one who lighted up My dark soul underneath We laughed, we walked We drunk, we smoke And that was the only moment I found I'm real, not just a doll #chhaya

Locked in a jar

I'm displayed in a jar Like a portrayed picture Stuck inside these transplant walls Circular and unmovable Everyone moving around me And I'm at the center With the cap of jar closed And some holes for oxygen It's really hard to breathe And no one can hear my scream I'm scared and hungry I know nothing, what'll they do to me Where is my love, where is my family Where is all my people gone after leaving me How'll they fight and will i be rescued? From these weird huge creatures looking humanly

Ocean of dreams

  It's been long Something was stuck on my mind I could feel it Something was dragging out my heart I felt lost in a dream Like my soul is not mine anymore And it kept pulling me out Ever second, one by one My heart, my soul, my mind Were shivering It was something i never felt before And now, when i started to feel I can't get rid of it A hand that holding me from so long A feeling that pulling me in Enchanting me with the love  And unforgettable sins Drowning me  in, deeply In the ocean of dreams The imagination
