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,
It 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.

An intense grip!

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 Rebel ?

A rebel is what you call, A fighter is what I prefer, The most important thing of all Is that the qualities don't differ, To stand for what I believe, To look at people leave, It does break my heart for a while But more than that it brings about a smile, For it exposes the real ones And the cruel ones, And along it brings enlightenment to my soul, And peace to my mind, To be able to find  A part of me in all, To be alive and willing, To be thoughtful and thinking, To be educated and building, To be sensible and helping, Life is a game Battlefield, if you will, To come out alive  Is the mildest of will, Injuries do pain, But can never over-power the gain, I wish this human race Condemned the norms  And started off believing In possibilities and forms.
