MIRROR

Mirror, Mirror on the wall

An empty figure looking at me from within

Fingertips longing to touch, silver shiny plane objecting the way 

I tried placing my cheek on the frame, to understand, discover 

Why is the figurine looking so vain? Full of emptiness 

I move a step forward, feet shuffling on the wooden floor 

I hear the clinging sound of shackles but they are nowhere to be found.

The look is hollow, emotions sucked out dry.

The look pierced right through my skin.

The clutches leaving a mark behind

There's a sense of uncertain familiarity, 

The blank, cold face was too much to take in

“Who are you” I yelled from the other side

My words echoed,

I blinked my eyes, the figurine was gone.

I lay in bed, draped in crisp whites 

A cold breeze of whisper “ I am you”, buzzing in my ear.

The words were crystal, source unknown 

From where did it come from, I wondered. 

Mirror, mirror on the wall

I heard a chuckle coming from the shiny silver. 

I saw the figurine staring at me at last.

Still hollow, empty,

Looking for a path to leap out of its transparent captivity

Scraping her nails on the frame, 

 The dark side of the silver plane 

The darkness took a toll on my eyes, eyelids struggling to keep up.

“Just believe yourself, You will find your way out”, I spoke in soft tones

Then smiled and leapt into the melody of the night

Mirror, mirror on the wall 

The next time I saw the figure,

It wasn’t just a figure anymore, it was her

She’s wasn’t black but a cascade of light

still empty but fulfilled 

Smiling at me from within.

Ahhh…

she finally found a way to leap out.

CLOUDS

Clouds dancing in the sky 

Delightful, created out of 

vapour, smoke and undesirable things 

To name a few.

Wind pushing the frothy structures around

Responsibilities, 

Pushing us around.

As they get, darker and swell

Thunderstorms and lightning, 

May they reign.

Its a cycle,

Downpour, Lightning, Thunderstorms sometimes.

Stay consistent, positive

Never leave the sky. 

Hoping, 

Wishing for that one time.

When,

There will be a rainbow in the sky.

After a few downpours

On a sunny spree.

Gleaming with the rainbow, 

There you will be. 

Smiling,

Proud of the scene. 

Thanking yourself  for believing in your dreams,

Through windy and sunny days.

A little bit about me :)

The strange, awkward person behind the keyboard

I think most of you, wait whom am I kidding ? all of you will agree with me when I say :

Being a student is one of the most DIFFICULT professions of the decade. Before you prepare to fight me please notice that I said " one of the most difficult"😅

I think that gives away the fact that I am indeed a student. Oh wait, let me rephrase " I am indeed a broke, lonely INTERNATIONAL student ". Just after finishing my high school, I moved to a country I knew nothing about to pursue my higher education. I moved to Australia ( Melbourne ) which I must mention is a beautiful place and should be a must-visit on everyone's checklist. So here I was in a completely strange place lonely, jobless, friendless and of course homesick.
Going abroad for studies was one of the biggest decisions I have ever made in my life all by myself. Honestly speaking pretty much the only one.XD

While I was still trying to get hold of the new surroundings and environment, I needed something to keep me sane in times of despair and loneliness. One thing which helped me overcome these struggles was writing. Writing all kinds of stuff ! from poems to short stories to articles. It gave me a path to communicate with myself and to kill time, not gonna lie. 

So here I am! I believe it was time I shared my opinions and thoughts with the world and hope that someone somewhere might be able to relate with me. That's where the idea of creating a blog chimed in,
and why you have spent a solid few minutes reading about me. Thank you so much for doing that though :)

Now you know who I am, why I am and other things that rhyme with that. I hope this strange, awkward person behind the keyboard didn't bore you enough that you are still here to read these lines. I will come up with something worth more interesting, knowledgeable in the next one but until then keep smiling and have a good day.
