BURNING OUT




So much has happened since the fall
Losing on, I might have dropped the ball
The past keeps lingering on my mind
Gotta hold on to something, anything worthwhile I could find
Realize this every day and every night
No strong will to fight
Guess I am just burning out
Time and again losing this bout
Guess I am just burning out
Teardrops in silence no one can hear me shout


I have some memories but I want them to faint.
Just vanish away, and leave no taint
Because all this was not planned for me
But screw the plans it was destined to be
I may be caught in a blank stare
As the head keeps boiling in its own flare
Guess I am just burning out
Time and again losing this bout
Guess I am just burning out
Teardrops in silence no one can hear me shout


When I started off I gave away my all
But was later instructed to start small
Broke what I thought was my Porcelain doll
It's a choice I made after all
Made this error and lost my prime
Now have to make up for the lost time
Guess I am just burning out
Time and again losing this bout
Guess I am just burning out
Teardrops in silence no one can hear me shout


How do I figure my tunnel which ends in light?
How do I get through this freakish dark night?
Should I just sit and sulk in my sorrow?
Or should I just wait until dawns in MY tomorrow?
Have I become Ophelia in my life's play?
Wasn't I the one who had dragons to slay?
Guess I am just burning out
Time and again losing this bout
Guess I am just burning out
Teardrops in silence no one can hear me shout


There have been moments I have been smitten
By frost of regrets I have been bitten
Maybe there's still time to hope
I may find some way just to cope
Till then, the darkness is mine for a rebound
Circles of hell light bright in the background
Guess I am just burning out
Time and again losing this bout
Guess I am just burning out
Teardrops in silence no one can hear me shout


After years of being adults, we found ourselves in the same place.
Thanks for giving a soul to the piece I abandoned years ago :)

Amazon Worker

Hey there Amazon Worker, Do you think you pulled one over? Mocked my vulnerable side, only to protect your fake pride. I can’t fathom why I ever asked you to pamper and protect. Your wealth was never my concern, yet you watched my trust burn. As I began to share how I felt, you made a snide remark, hitting below the belt. Do you think I care if people change the way they stare? I’m no longer trying to hide; the girl you knew has long died. It’s amusing now that you said I remind you of your mother— What kind of devil hurts the daughter of another? Everyone says to forgive and forget since you were only a child. I would if you didn’t parade your weak masculinity, born of Rothschild. Your false grandeur can’t erase the damage done, I’ve found my strength and my journey’s just begun. If you thought you were good for my image, Know this: my growth surpasses your limits. I’m a woman whose name you can’t tear from the page, And I will stand tall, owning my own stage. ~ Kanika Kau...

Not So Bhavya

Oh, drop the good guy act, You pretended to care, that's a fact. Someone who was hiding their own shame, Called me psycho and crazy, how lame. You tried to charm me with your coffer, Brushed off my pain, saying, “Stop it, or else I won’t buy a lightsaber.” You took all you could and then asked what I have to offer? Funny how you wanted to burn it all down when you lost your maker, But when I cried and screamed, called me a big faker. You claimed to know love, but never took the time, To understand my heart, my rhythm, my rhyme. You wrapped me in darkness while claiming the light, But all you offered was a hollow delight. Now your shadows fade, and I choose to ignite, I’ll weave my own stories, reclaiming my flight.
