Dying To Live



I die every day to live a little,
In ways I’d never imagined before.
Death is not always loss or an end;
Sometimes, it’s the shedding of masks,
The breaking of beliefs that tethered me tight,
The crumbling of identities I thought were mine.

Perhaps, a bit of innocence fades
Each time life demands I confront the unknown—
The darkness, the vast, unyielding abyss.
Yet, within that void, my soul reignites,
Moment by moment, piece by piece.

I tried hiding in my cocoon,
But I still transform into something raw,
Something true,
Something new.

I die every day to live a little,
When I see the scars on another’s soul,
Deeper than my own—
And yet, they carry on.

Their resilience becomes my quiet hymn,
Their pain whispers to my own:
“Be still, and rise again.”

And so, I learn to live a little,
Not in spite of the breaking,
But because of it.
For every death births a seed of life,
And in every shadow, I find a glimmer of light.

I die every day to live a little.
Then I learn to live some more.
I die every day, and little by little,
I live for so much more.

I die every day,
And now I know—
I live forever.

This body may fall, these identities fade,
But my soul will rise—
Through countless deaths, through crumbled beliefs,
Through the ashes of all I’ve been.

For every ending births a beginning,
And in the stillness of each fall,
I rise again—endlessly whole, endlessly free.

And so, I die every day to live a little.

Polished Sins

  A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Until Noon

I can feel the distance, But my body craves you. I am howling at the moon, Hoping you love me until noon. It’s winter, and everyone is covering up, But I will drop every single layer for you. Will you make the bedpost creak? Like the way we break our Duolingo streak? Or will you be my Count, And leave your marks on my neck? Will you drink away my life force, Or give me your immortal kiss? Who would care about saving it for daylight? We are creatures of this starry night. Will you save me with your sword, Be my Guinevere’s Sir Lancelot ? These boys keep talking about getting high at the pub. Would you do me the honour of the Mile High Club? Will you track my curves like an F1 circuit? Or be like kids fighting over the gully cricket? Come get me, while the night is still young, And we erase the distance with our tongues.

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.
