Lost

Doesn’t anyone fear being lost?
Lost in one’s own company
Searching for the real self.
The journey is too scary
And no companion by your side.
You hardly know the destination
But not the way to wait by.
There are hurdles, a lot
There are sweet times, but rare
You’re all alone
No one to hold your hands
Neither any shortcuts through
Flying brooms, witches or magic wands.
You just walk and walk
Till you’re tired.
By then you’re well aware
You’ve reached nowhere.
You’re so lost
You fear, you cry
You shout, you scream.
Sadly, there’s no one to hear
You’re lost!

I was wandering out on the road alone with thoughts of you
I kept thinking about you the whole night and slept
With thoughts of you in my mind,
Your memories in my heart
And tears in my eyes.
I wanted these thoughts to stop
But then I realized it was a flood
That came with your memories…
I wish I could die; I could end my life there and there only.
For I’m not able to live without you.
I lost my gold while searching for diamonds.
I lost myself while searching for someone really special to me.
I never understood your presence,
But now I really miss those moments I spent with you.
I just want you back whom I lost in the midst of the path
That people call life…

This poem has been published in the January 2016 issue of The Teenager Today.

Oh, to be lost!

It is metaphorically and literally true. It feels amazing to be lost sometimes. Far away from the traffic of your thoughts, to some distant peaceful place.

Somewhere where your bones relax and dance to the music of the stillness around, where pretty lilacs grow around your ribcage, adorning your heart; where nothing but the happiness of your soul matters.

Where walking on sand and leaving footprints is an art in itself; where fallen leaves fill life in themselves and accompany you; where you float through the painted sky to another heaven.

Where your body feels light, as if it’s just a zephyr playing with people’s hair, not knowing where to go.

Where you’re the best version of yourself; where you look into the mirror and are not scared to see who is staring right back.

Where it feels like strolling in a sky full of winking stars, where a little stardust adorns your hair.

Where you’re the best version of yourself; where you look into the mirror and are not scared to see who is staring right back.

Where you don’t have to rip your flesh apart to show how beautiful you are; where you can be so beautiful like shooting stars in the sky, looking at which, even blinking would be a betrayal.

Escape to a place where you can cage a canary beneath your chest and not fear if it will fly away; where you can be your own kind of beautiful; where poetry will be your only language, and you, the only audience. Where the sky will sing lullabies and the moon will let you sleep in his lap and those zillion stars will guard you throughout the night.

Lose yourself in a place where the rainbow fills colours in itself, and the sky gathers stars from. You won’t regret having consumed the galaxy!
