A Broken Friendship

I write words I cannot say, I feel emotions I cannot portray, There’s a sadness by the end of day, A karmic price I’ve got to pay. A better friend I could’ve been, A few more thoughts I should’ve given, But at life I could never win, For I never loved myself from within. Something...

A Cursed Desire

You want it so badly, you chase it.  You pray for it. You think about it 24x7.  You decide on what you'd do if you got it.  But in your head you know you won't get it, and you've already made your peace with it.  And yet, deep down a voice inside tells you to...

The Wish

This year for my new year wish I ask, A little more luck and a little something from the past. I want that girl who sat at my side when I drove, I want the girl whose laugh made my day whole.   Every one of those exchanged smiles from across the room, I want...

On Joy and Sorrow By Kahlil Gibran

Then a woman said, Speak to us of Joy and Sorrow. And he answered: Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain....

A Special Lady

I’ll tell you something you already know, I really like you and that’s up for show. You’re so incredible and a sight for sore eyes, Your brain a whacky combo of wicked and wise. We started off decently well if you ask me, Until those unfortunate times came by. But you kept faith in me...

The New Year

Another year is coming to a close, It is time to forget all your troubles and woes. For me this year was tough, full of ups and downs, It brought many emotions, tears and many frowns. Now another year is approaching fast, Let's hope it's a New Year with love and health, With a little...

Afraid

I'm not afraid of other people doubting me, I'm afraid of doubting myself. I'm not afraid of other people disliking me, I'm afraid of disliking myself. I'm not afraid of other people calling me ugly, I'm afraid of feeling ugly. I'm not afraid of anyone else, but I'm only afraid of my myself. -By Kohmal...

It Is All Over

It is all over today,  The bond that existed my entire childhood.  A thousand memories that meant so much to me, All of which are down to dust. I’ve hated you for a while but I knew you always cared, I’m indifferent about your existence now after the things you said. You can never take...

Inadequacy

I spend the nights staring at the ceiling What really is this feeling I am right there and yet not Thinking of all the things I have achieved And yet the feeling of self worth is far from being perceived The list of blessings is really a lot And yet somehow it falls short Already...

You & I

In a parallel universe, I wake up next to you, Feeling your breath on the nape of my neck; Maybe in a parallel universe, I don't have to yearn for your presence. In a parallel universe, I don't have to swirl my brain, Into a labyrinth of already overthought thoughts to make that call. In...

So Close And Yet So Far

I was taking a walk down memory lane, like I seldom do. One of the things that struck out to me, was my story with you. We've known each other for almost a decade, And been friends for just two. But our paths crossed decades ago, Around the time when 'text messages' were still new....

Grateful

Reposting an old poem today which is really close to my heart. This poem is an ode and me showing my gratitude to some very strong female personalities in my life (friends and family), who've time and again supported me when I needed help, educated me when I was wrong and been there for me...
