The Rocking Chair

-
"What is it with you and the rocking chair?
Why don't you like the chair anymore?" She asks again
"I can't tell you, you wouldn't know"
"If only the world could see what I Could
Maybe then would've they known
Where all their missing socks go
Where all their misplaced pens go,
Little did I know
How getting lost in the deserted stuff
Would cause so much of chaos
I never wanted to be haunted by anything
Just take me back to the road back home"
"But daughter you have to tell me
who it is that scares you
I'll ask him to go away from here
Will that help you overcome your fear?"
"Mom it's him, it's always him,
The one who stops rocking as soon as I come in
The one who smiles only at me
The one who talks to me like I do
The one who is standing on the doll you hate too"
"Who is it my daughter?
Whom do i hate?
Tell me girl, who is it
Being scared is not your fate"
"Honey, you've gotta understand
Your daughter was dead 6 year ago
And never did you find her body
Sometimes you just need to let go"
"But i know i can see my daughter
I can talk to my girl
Where is that doll i had made for her
Only then would i know how her thoughts whirl"
"Oh sorry, i stamped on it
Here it is you can have it back"
Saying that he turned to go out again
Until she called him to look back
At least a peaceful death would've done her fine
Death on the rocking chair was worse than mine.

"Rape me too," she said, Like you did, to that 5-year-old, Who had just learnt the word beauty; Well, you showed her what the beauty of the world is, She was 5 years old when you did that, I'm 24. Why don't you do it to me? Just because I'm your sister doesn't make a difference, does it? Because even she is a sister, a daughter, a fairy for her dad. You did that to her, Do it to me as well What's stopping you? If her screams of help through the pain couldn't stop you, What will, What is stopping you? Just do it and leave, Just like you did to her. Just because she was a 5 year old didn't give you the right to do anything,  Nothing ever will. But just do it. I'm your sister right, do it to me as well, ruin my life too, Like you ruined hers. She had just started taking her first steps,  And you took the worst ones with her. Just rape me, brother. Well, You can't. Because I'm strong, Like every woman out there, Every woman who will stand u...

Silence.

Silence This silence helps us understand the purpose of our life  A second of silence brings peace and harmony to our confused mind Silence stops all the negative thoughts A minute of silence helps us immensely. But, With some people, d eep down It starts a chain reaction One which nobody wants Their greatest fears, their worst guilt, the sad feelings Buried under the day to day race of life All rise up Out from their graves Haunting them again So maybe Not everyone needs silence some people need chaos A lot of it.

Blinding Lights

Everyone was beaming today after epochs Brightened faces with wrinkles The old mother who hadn’t smiled since ages smiled today The thought of sufficient food for even a person had never crossed their minds They had embraced malnutrition just like the poverty which now seemed chronic to them This light of unlimited food for all of them by the leader was too bright for them This meant the old hag didn’t have to wash away her little breaths now, By washing other people’s clothes This meant that dad didn’t have to see his bloody hands ever again I was very happy as a child but my dad wasn’t smiling I asked him whats the matter He told me these lights They’ve enlightened his life way too many times before But all the lies pushed him into the darkness much more So now these lights don’t help his gloom Because “Not seeing light is better than seeing a blinding one”
