SOLO PERFORMER

By SANIA
 Will you call out my name when I leave? Will it carry forward like a whisper in the breeze? Will tears shine in your eyes once the shock subsides? Will you wail or sob once you realise, That once again, you’ve been left behind. Cast aside and forgotten, like that hobby That you gave up on when you were twelve. I don’t mean for you to feel that way and I hope I don’t hurt you too much, When I go to perform my next big show. You were never meant to be a part of my crew, And our goodbye had been long overdue. I am a solo performer, not bound by your pack rules. I stay for a minute, then leave because my heart wants to. All for the sake of your feelings, I halted myself. But the halt couldn’t be stretched any longer For I had places to be and things to see. The newest horizons called my name And I really wished to step up my game But for your sake, I halted for a minute A minute that was too long and A minute that was too short, All at the same time, bound by everything sublime. This ...

TWINKLING STARS

By SANIA
There once was a little girl  Who was put to sleep, So that an end could be put To her fated misery. She never got to know once What had befallen her- Because she was taken away before The nightfall could come crawling to her. Despite all her fights, She had only ever seen daylight, Glistening drops of dew on petals With all things fresh, beautiful and bright. The dark was never allowed  To be anywhere near her Rose-colored-glass sheathed eyes Or wherever she put her sights. She was a soulful little girl, With a spirit wild and untamed. How she longed for the night, Even though that never came Because of how much  The twinkling stars were famed.

AN INTROVERT'S TALE

By SANIA
 A head full of thoughts, a notebook filled with ideas But a mouth full of silence with eyes on a distant land Devasted and inconsolably weeping inside Because I have to see all my prospects die As they suffocate with longing and slowly crumble to death I have so many schemes in mind for you and me I say to my newest idea that I received But now, all it gets to see is my back as I leave Wishing it left me and not the other way around Heartbroken as I  walk away and it falls to the ground I can't even rejoice in the fact that I have the power To make these ideas keep coming back to me  As I keep giving them hope of their release repeatedly For I know that the day they decide that enough is enough They shall desert me completely and life will be tough It's not that I don't want to speak up, it's just that I can't I lack the courage in my little heart, and I want to be included And not be called weird for believing and thinking different From all of those who have set ...

UTMOST FRAILTY

By SANIA
Curled in a fetal position at death's door There is nowhere else to go Nobody to whom she wants to show The depressed self that hates everyone and everything Hates all of the glamour of this world and the bling She said she hates it here, she feels trapped  But to everyone else, she is just entranced By what those voices make her do Even though what they say isn't necessarily true In her mind, she is brewing potions Of insecurities and false notions Everything fueled by what they say to her  Every feeling she has forgotten is now coming back And it is making her feel rotten She has already crossed the bridge  That most can't follow All that just so that she can wallow Without people telling her to be Grateful for all that she has been And to look forward to a better tomorrow Will she find peace here at last? She wonders  But then her mind begins to wander And that fallacy of peace is squandered The voices come in again and plead guilty As she is buried in the sand wi...

LIES OF FOREVER

By SANIA
 My shaky hands try grabbing onto The gentle mummers of your voice As you pass me by like wind, I try holding on to every shred As if letting you go is a sin. If I possibly could, I'd hold on for eternity and I'd cherish your antics eternally. If forever really was a thing, We'd be woven together for good, Seeming everlastingly happy, To all those who looked. But now, all I can muster up are Despondent cries and anguished sighs. Because now that you're gone, I'm left to wonder what I'll see, If I were to stare into the mirror for too long. Will I see more of you than me? For every part of me is  Imprinted with the lies of  'Forever,' you once told me.

SISTERS FOREVER

By SANIA
Staring at the screen all day long I know this isn't where I belong I look at old photos of us from time to time Being reckless in the stages of our prime Frolicking and laughing under the sun Truly thinking that with each other, we had won. My eyes are now always on a distant land Where she resides and I'm meant to be But how do I get there? That's unplanned Years ago, I meant to ask- "Take me with you when you go?" For I knew she was a rolling stone But it was too late she had already left. Discarding me as if I hadn't waited For her and for her upcoming quest. Dwindling down I cry for her to come back And not break our 'sister's forever' pact But once it all settled down inside, Heartbroken and miserable, I felt Knowing these feelings couldn't be helped Because my yearning to leave with her It was so emphasised, it was so strong And my stay in this place without her It felt so sullen and it felt so wrong.

ALL MINE

By SANIA
My love is mine, all mine I wish I could let you know that too Because you seem to use it all the time. You crossed the lines I drew. All the precautions I insisted you have, Into the wind, you threw. All the boundaries I made, You disregarded them all, And I just watched them fade. After you're done with your torment, If I'll be able to pick up all my pieces, I'll join them together before I lament. After you're done with me, I'll never let my love be  Departed from me. If it were up to me, I wouldn't share it Even if I were to perish  I'd perish holding on to it. Because it's my love, all mine.
