Poems - Twinkle Johar

I find myself lonely on an old street there's so much noise. And people are walking on two different paths I'm at the partition maybe But both the ways are invisible What I see is Nothing but blurriness Everything's so zoned out As if there's no way ahead But just people who are going On the two paths Which are so blurry That I chose to stand still And say nothing But I want to go too Not with them But with me Because I'm not even present there There are my words and thoughts But I'm lost Maybe somewhere in a different world Or maybe nowhere As peace is so precious but still remarkably rare. And when these words end. I breathe. After I stop to feel.

This night takes me away, To a strange world, Full of strangers, All empty ones. And I wonder what to say, Should I stay amidst the emptiness? To realize that something, somewhere, Was left by me, Left unfelt. The snowy night, The shady one, The quiet time, Is it loud too? Is it hard too? As it bounds me, The night mocks at me, It makes me scream, It asks me Where was I when the scars needed me? When the pain needed love? When I needed myself? And All around the empty ones, I ask myself- "Will u rise tomorrow with the Sun?" Or Will I again shut myself up, Throughout the day, And get haunted, With the thought of returning to myself, Only at night, When the quietness will plead me to rise. Rise with peace, And not shut down quietly This time, Atleast For long, If not forever.
