Effing confidence!

Killing confidence
Is a matter of seconds,
While building it,
A matter of years,

Not an accusation
But a belief,
That childhood
Is filled with
People and thieves,
Stealing the confidence
Gifted at birth,
Like it was nothing
But dirt,

To get it back
Was a huge task,
When as a child
We were simply
Taught to ask,

It took me years,
If not decades,
To snatch it back
From the hands of beings
Both cruel and smiling,
Making my existence
Feel like drowning,

Though a battle
Worth fighting
And a prize 
Worth owning,

To get back
What was mine,
Felt unfair
Again and again
With time,

And then it 
Hit me hard,
That maybe
They had borrowed it,
As a reward
For being born before
And not having
A worthy core,

And an epiphany 
At best
Could make me
At the behest
Of understanding
Forgive them 
And forget.

Not having met you Never made me feel empty, But having met you Makes me feel weak, Not that I can't survive, But it's a struggle of not wanting to, A struggle of knowing All that should be known, And yet unable to Hold back from the unknown, A dying sense of urgency Although there is none in the vicinity, A profound feeling of having found A feeling so intense That it just couldn't be spent Even after exhausting every cent.

The Rising!

A tale of  inspiration, building upright, from the gallows of darkness and kingdom of fight, A burning desire to give proof, of abiding strength and courage and coup, An inner whirlwind, rising and falling, like a sand dune with its crests and troughs, magically building the foundation of faith and truth, Its outcome will be a proof in time of all things worthy and filled with chime.

A Recovering Heart!

Safe Is Just A Word!  It's safe to say I am fine , Till no one looks into my mind, For once you take a look closer, You won't think that I am sober, Silence is a language in itself, Something I discovered very late, I wish I had known that earlier, Maybe my peace wouldn't have to wait, What's bygone is okay, What remains is pretty, What it was is a mystery, But what it's becoming, Will surely be history, True love doesn't leave, Neither does it stay, It accommodates to a relationship, Till the people in it slay. Only If We Could See Things Coming! To see things coming Is a matter of luck, When you can't see On a human plane it sucks To remain prepared Is what we would want, To balance the present Might miss out on the round We fight, we clamor, We plead, we worry, We curse, we wish But after all this, We forget, That it's a lesson, Not to regret. You or Animals? The line between you and...
