I want to die

Disclaimer: This post in no way encourages suicide/killing or even glorifies death in any aspect.
————————————————————————————————————————-

problems aplenty
life is one big hell of a soap opera

god closes one door and opens another
but in my case, god closes one door(problem)
and opens up many more doors (problems)

sometimes i wonder
if there is anyone called god
while at times i wonder
why god does this to me

it seems
with each step i take
i sink deeper and deeper into the quicksand

days keep rolling
time seemingly running a marathon
but my problems dont move an inch

each day
each night
problems and more problems

seemingly no escape
seemingly no solution
i question the very purpose of my existence

with no one to worry about me
with no one to call my own
from one quicksand into another quicksand
i drag myself everyday to live
in the hope of escaping from it all

you might think i am a probelamatic child
you might think i am one “wretched” creature
fact is i want to live
fact is i want to be happy

the simple truth is i have a life
the simple truth is i want to be normal
the simple truth is i am also a human
with feelings
the simple truth is i am not immune to pain
the simple truth is, i am like you
wanting to live like you
be happy like you

but unlike you
my hands are tied
i am this little angel stuck inside this prison
with my wings clipped
my feet tied to an iron ball
i cannot fly away
i cannot run away

stuck here in this cage of mine
i am a punchbag
a punchbag
my master takes out his anger on

i am an angel
stuck in hell
i wait for a prince to rescue me
i wait for my guardian angel to save me

my tears
and
my cries
are all invain

with no strength left
seemingly destined to live a life like this
i curse myself
i blame myself
for the life that is supposed to mine

with no desire to live
in this hell that is my home
i want to die
i want to die
i want to die

i squeeze in every ounce of strength
that i can muster
lift my hands high up in the air
the iron ball that was once “tied” around my legs
now lands with a thud
on my angelic face

the life that i dreamt of
is just a dream
the life that i wished to have
is just a wish
the life that is mine
is no more

i wanted to die
i wanted to escape life
and now, with the blood slowly trickling away from my face
my life is just a countdown away
a simple count of one to ten
a simple transformation of my life
into death, that someone else wanted!

(addon)

a life that i once wanted to live
now destined to be fulfilled
only after death
life is, afterall, a dream
from which death awakens us

note:
each day everyone one of us face a lot of obstacles and problems at almost every walk of life. Sometimes during such times of struggle, thoughts of ending one’s life def comes into everyone’s mind. Simply denying it for the heck of denying is stupidity. Maybe ppl would not publicily acknowledge it, but the fact is everyone at some point or the other would have thought about it - even if it is for a single second.

My fav quote is:- “Life is a dream from which death awakens us”.
hence the addon lines.

The dream is all yours. How you live the dream is what matters. Maybe not all dreams come true, but a dream is the biggest source of strength and inspiration that we all have and thats what separates us from normal primates and humans. Not all dreams are good and not all dreams are bad. Like real life, there are good dreams and bad dreams. We need to choose the ones we want and we need to have the “inner strength” to come out of the bad dream.

Afterall, what happened yesterday is history, Whats happening today is reality and Whats going to happen tomorrow is destiny.
And that destiny is in your hands :)

I do not want to get into an argument about destiny and god. another time, another poem :)

some clarifications:

Angel = every one is an angel :)

As to prince, thats a general statement. Whenever in times of need, we tend to say “prince/brave warrior”, hence these lines :)

Friends

frnd 1

sitting in the park bench
in the midst of a lush green field
away from the prying eyes of everyone
we sit down,
hands clasped

strangers we were
on the day we saw each other
you going about your work
me, stumbling into the minefield
like a lost child

scared and confused
i stood rooted to my place
like a human in a field of dinosaurs
i was wondering when the chase would begin
to hunt me down
and to drive me away

until you grabbed me by the hand
and took me away
from a deadly minefield
to a garden of flowers

until that moment
we were just strangers
in the same train

time flew fast
we changed places
we changed ourselves
we changed for good

once a week
in this little bench
we sit down
we talk
we relive our first meeting
we relive our lives
week after week

rain or sun
never bothered us
every week
this little park bench was our paradise
away from the crazy world we live in

couple of hours every week
we come here
sit down
and watch the birds and the bees fly by
watch the kids play in the grass
watch the outside world zoom infront of us

yet just like the first day
we sit here
hands clasped
silently watching the world
without saying a word

silently wishing the world to stop
silently hoping
  time moves backward
to the first day we met
to the day when 2 strangers
became friends

(silently hoping we stay in this paradise forever)

note:
Not everyone becomes your “friend” and not everyone can be your “friend“.
Friends are of 2 types, in my opinion.
1.
Short term:- They are like your guests. They come and go. Once their short term goal is fulfilled, they just pack up and go.

2. Long Term:- People who fall under this category are the ones who stay with you for a long time. You or they will not be able to explain why they are around you but when you two meet/talk you feel happy - inside. These are those “special” people with whom you can share anything and everything. Likewise they would feel “at ease” to share the same with you. Once you see them, you would feel “relieved”. You put their “happiness” before yours. Yet at the same time you will never acknowledge that :)

There is an old saying - A Friend is a lover, literally.  People in the second category are prime example of this. They know you inside out and you share your life with them as you would do with your partner.

Btw, sometimes when it comes to things like this, words are the worst way to express it. What you type out can be mis-interpreted as well or worse, you just would not get the words to express it :)
