Third Wheel

Here is one of my early poems that I wrote way back in my college days. 



I thought we were happy with a 2-seater,
But then you got bored and wanted to upgrade her.

Was afraid to let it go,
'Cause it took a while to balance so.

You were so fond of the new style and design;
I thought to give it a chance and stop the whine.

Slowly and slowly we got hold of it,
Started loving the mobile every bit.

We went to places that we never knew,
Created amazing memories- red, green, yellow, black, white, and blue.

Then all of a sudden something took a backseat;
One tyre busted in the scorching heat.

Scared that repairing this will cost you money and time,
Took hold of the new 2-wheeler and continued the regime.

Was alone with the rubbery mass,
But kept on working to make it outclass.

You went on with the new roller by your side,
And I went on to build my lost ride.

Fond of your latest 2-seater ride,
How you forgot about the 3 seater which was your pride.

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.
