When silence speaks
Are you wondering looking at the title?
Don't make your mind, the field of battle.
Yes, silence speaks more than words,
It can either calm or harm, only silence knows what it does.
Silence is a double edged sword,
Can be used both the ways when required.
It is the best way for escapism,
Can also succeed in showing one's heroism.
Silence can be taken as an affirmation,
Or it may be totally a contradiction.
When silence starts speaking,
Be doubly careful while listening.

Anxiety In 30 Seconds or Less
All of these feelings.
Constant repeating.
The static is bleeding.
'Til the buzz brushes ceiling.
This is my addiction.
This is me, I'm retreating.
This is drowning in fiction.
This is silently pleading.
Until my brain falls out,
Until I can't go on,
I know you wonder why I'm worried about everything.
Until there's no more thoughts.
Until I crash and burn.
I know I haven't done anything today.
No not today.
I hope you stay.
I hope you stay.
I just feel overwhelmed.

A PRISON OF MY OWN MAKING
Work is my only escapism..if that is taken away from me too..I will turn crazy.. into someone you don't know...someone you thought I could never turn into...but I will surprise you...with a new side of me...it isn't happy..it isn't bright...it is the opposite..and it will make you run away from me... something you should have done long long ago... something I should have let you do.. long ago..On these days, if you call out to me...you wouldn't see a nice side of me... but you'll turn to ashes...when you see me burn with pain...cause that is all I am left with...so do me a favour and please stay away from me.. because my mind is a dark place...so dark that you will be engulfed in too..so please don't look.. because it is a scary place too...that makes me shiver to the bone..it makes me .. makes me scream...it turns me... into a crazed being...that knows no light..no love..and no sympathy..
I want to escape...run away and never look back to here too..but there are chains that bind me..that never let of go of me... these heavy metal chains..have left me scarred...and bleeding..but there's still no escape...no way out...the only way I see out is to lock myself in forever...in a prison..of my own...where no one can see me...from where I won't need to escape... where I will atleast be left alone...even if it is just to rot and die... atleast I won't be tortured anymore with pain.. atleast I will be able to find myself a secure place...where the beasts of my mind won't scare me..haunt me..and leave me bleeding..

Delirium's Hands
My eyes burn bright
At the promise of a swift exodus,
The steep dive through the shadows
To the cove and the sea
I’ll slip from the binds
Of solitude and safety,
I’d rather go mad
Than chatter and pretend
Dive and dive each night
Stagger through nothingness
Fall apart by noon
And swim away at dusk
I will live again
In delirium’s hands
Uprooted from shame,
From this pasture grey

Silence on the Ocean Floor
Fade beneath the clutter
Beneath the noise
The immortal thrash
The mad undertow
Kill the merciless grind
Let it fall from its nest
The idol carved in your mind,
Chiseled centuries ago
Sink beyond the sun’s reach
And disband for a while
Until you’re called back home
From the evening’s red tide

Pandemonium
Breathe in, breathe out
Learn to live, learn to love
Twirling about
Chaos comes from above
Break, smash, glimmer
I do not know
Rain drops, rain stones
Break the glass, break the cage
Sweet, sweet abandon
The demon is my very rage
Crash, clash, shatter
I cannot know
Ashes bloom, ashes burn
Erase the soul, erase the mind
The hunt has at last begun
What will they find?
Thump, slash, danger
The should not know
They can't-
No.
They will not know

Tonight I'm breaking a golden rule
A promise I've kept for years.
I don't take it lightly but, without,
I'm likely to end up in tears
I tried to have a "normal night",
Make my bed, crochet, read the news.
I got so disjointed by the latter
I couldn't find my muse.
I couldn't see anything I liked about society
It made me sad, and slightly ill in my insides.
The remedy I've decided is to break my rule
In order to look within, where my soul resides.
I've done everything I need to do,
Cooked dinner, walked the dog, put out the bins.
So now it's time for me to be allowed
To a little piece of peace, whilst listening to 'Frou Frou', 'Iron & Wine', and 'The Shins.
I feel a little bit guilty,
If anyone knew I'd feel ashamed.
But I've had a rough week, I'm sick and tired
From both illness and both being blamed.
The accusations of "not being a good friend" this week,
Being unable to find the time to talk.
No not talk. Listen. The "Dear Diary" episodes.
All whilst my face is half-numb, and I hurt just trying to walk.
It's one thing to not ask someone how they are,
It's two to expect to hear all about work and school.
It's three strikes to then be bitter over the matter
For me, just another reason to break this rule.
I don't want to be dried up tonight
Listening to the same problems, all so mundane.
It might be more appealing if reciprocal
And of loveliness... fascinating facts... Love of rain!
I'll probably have a moment's regret later
For breaking this rule of mine...
But the solace I'll get, snuggled in bed, outside wet
Will ultimately be most divine.
I'm checking out from the negative newscasts
From people and media alike.
All it takes now to break my golden rule
Is one accurate, swift fourth strike.
In the time it's taken to write this, I've gotten away from it all.
From the blacknoise (can't call it whitenoise, it's so dark)
I'm blissed out, relaxed, exploring the planet, questioning existence,
All from one well-deserved, rule-breaking, tiny spark!

An urge to run away,
From core of heart deeper pray.
To escape from the deadly squalor,
Searching for a soothing healer.
Like a scary little child,
The poor being is sitting aside.
Hoping for a ray of bliss,
And protection from the crisis.

No Escape
So very long ago, I've found my place;
For me to feel lost, is far too late.
Though still mindless, I've lost trace
Of my final path towards escape.
My past spent dreaming fading lights,
I found living full of fright.
This reality I've since caught sight
Felt like nightmares filled with blight.
These tainted roads I chose to lead,
Shadows lurk beneath my feet;
My heavy heart had began to bleed.
As I drag along my selfish needs.

"Escapism"
To escape is to run away.
From problems, dangers,
Struggles, hardships,
Misbeliefs, issues, failures.
To escape is a sign of
Cowardice.
To escape means to ignore,
Runaway from, reality.
Escape is to leave. 'Escape'.
Escape, could be for peace.
For mental wellbeing.
To let go off toxicity.
To allow some necessary 'me-time'.
To think of only your own self, about time.
Escape, requires sheer faith.
Strong will, determination and the
Strength to be able to hate.
To escape is not poor judgment.
To escape is a calculated,
Well-thought of problem.

When I can't solve it...
When wishing better world, better choices and better tomorrow is the only thing I can do!!
Better fate is waiting...!!
You deserve better...!!
Prayers are only thing I can afford!!
#helpless #escapism #thoughts #inevitable #pain #onlyprayersleft #friendship #lost #let_it_healചിന്തകളുടെ മഞ്ഞുപെയ്ത്ത് ആത്മാവിൽ അതിശൈത്യം വീശുന്നു..
ഈ കുളിരു തീർക്കുന്ന വേദന ആഴ്ന്നിറങ്ങിയത് ആത്മാവിലാണ്..
ഇതു വരെയില്ലാത്ത പോലെ ഇതിനെ വ്യത്യാസപ്പെടുത്തുന്നത് അതാവണം..!!
മരവിപ്പുകൾ മാത്രമാണവ ബാക്കി വെച്ചത്..
ചുറ്റിലും പരക്കുന്ന ആഴ്ന്നിറങ്ങുന്ന മരവിപ്പ്!!
നിശ്ചലമായ ദീർഘ നേര മരവിപ്പ്!!
ഒന്നും ചെയ്യാതെ നോക്കി നിൽക്കേണ്ടി വന്ന നിസ്സഹായാതയാണ് ഇന്നതിന് രൂപം!!

Imaginary Columns and Spires
Born to crumble,
To join the mosaic
To live false and faded
Shapeless and silent
A palace of sand
Returns to the waves,
Kicked and leveled
By a brave young stride
The illusion must die
For the life of another
For a mass fever-dream
On a blurry horizon

Sunken Thrills
Wavering in the heart of youth
At the mouth of a bottle
Distilled reveries
Free the mad world from orbit
The unreeling is swift
A savory descent
To a paradise of vines
To walled gardens of vice
The mayhem is a killer
A demise in the shadows
Set centuries apart
From the mercies of today

Flights of Fancy
I have waited for
Sunsets and sunrises,
Ends and beginnings;
My path has meandered through
Climaxes and pitfalls.
I still lumber on towards
A horizon yet to be reached:
The distant shore wave their invitations.
I look down at the chains
Binding my eager feet,
Cutting into them
The eternal mark of domination.
Yet my heart is free as a bird.
My mind is prone to escape
In the throes of hedonism
To the eternal glades
Beyond pastures evergreen
I strive for a world yet unseen.

requital not required
I’ve got lots of secrets I’d love you to know
I wonder what you’d have to say
I’d tell you them all and you’d tell me yours too
If you ever looked over this way
You don’t know who I am but I love you despite that
As I keep you like this in my mind
Whilst you’re perfect like this you are all that I need
We can keep it this way that’s just fine
You smiled at me once you know, ages ago
What a beautiful thing to behold
I bathed in that moment and you’ll never know
How the magic you weave took a hold
When I see you the Jazz Divas sing in my head
They croon at the beauty of you
They sing things to me you’d have certainly said
If this thing I pretend at was true
But you’ll never know, I won’t make that mistake
I will love you this way, just for me
I’m a smart girl you see so my heart will not break
I can love you forever, pain free

I could hear the thrushes sing
beyond the woods,
into a lucent dream-
I enter.
There's a solace to this world.
A hysterical servitude
for the forsaken reality.
A tune to my melody.
A world to my scenes.
For the places we've never been to-
this is the edge of the closest dreams.
The doors open to the mindful ocean,
to the gardens of wisdom.
The nurturing heat on my face from the sun
brings back the life-
A life never lived.
