Numbness

***

Securely guarded, is the distress within
Calmly devastating, is the storm beneath
Ruined soul, concealed by a graceful grin
Heaps of ebony, stacked high up to the brim

Imparting numbness, in the shape of art
Heedless hopes, suppressed in the heart
Lavishing orisons, drenched in sins
Vanquishing emotions and bestiality wins

 The residing gloom, craves for an escape

 With woes and sorrows, I stand draped
Shards of the broken, prick underneath
Oppressing ecstasy, despite its ruined state

A lesson

It was one of the worst days in her life. As she sat down inking the pages of her diary,  she saw her father peep through the half-open door. "Why the hell does he do that? He always said he trusts me and yet I find him peeping in my room every now and then.  Damn this perfect life of mine!" she whisper-yelled to herself. Sighing heavily she continued writing and then she heard him again "Baby girl,  grandma needs something,  can you help her out ?" Urgh!! It was one of the ways he dragged her out of her room she kept herself locked in. "Yeah coming" she shouted on top of her voice making it pretty clear how pissed off she was. Nevertheless, she has to be polite with elders,  gulping down the rage she politely asked what she had to do. She then started untangling her grandmother's hair when she heard her brother "Dad,  can I buy this? " he said showing something on his phone. A smile crept on her father's face as he said " yeah...

An issue that is very well known but is ignored the best "Stand up against the wrong happening around you" his words keep nagging behind my mind. If only I hadn’t been dependent on someone my life today would’ve been different. It’s been 4 years I’m married to this devil and till date, I haven’t gathered up enough courage to punch him down. Just as I was about to put the curry in the bowl I felt a tug on the corner of my shirt, my eyes then met a pair of black eyes, Zara, my daughter “Mommy grandmother and daddy are very angry. They’re asking you to bring in food as soon as possible” she said picking up the plates and left. My heart clenched looking at her. ‘Oh God, I wish I could give my daughter a better life than this’ I silently prayed. I had to serve them before they lash out at me again, so I pushed away from the thoughts and was on my way to the dining area. My body froze just as I heard a tight slap and saw my angel on the floor. “She is teaching you that, right...

The first day at school, love, at first sight, you might say, they knew deep inside what it was. life went well, joy-filled. so serene it seemed... so inseparable they were, two bodies but one soul till one day, life had something in store for them... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "What the... you look like shit Hameed," I told him, shaking his shoulders vigorously. "Long story," he said as we walked towards a shop. On seeing him the shopkeeper pulled out a pack of Marlboro and tossed it. He pulled out one from the pack looking at me. I hurled the lighter at him. It hit his head as he stood there motionless. "Kya hua bhai," the shopkeeper asked him laughing. It was our usual smoking joint, where once a horde would sit together emptying packets after packets. Now it was just us left. He picked up the lighter and lit his cigarette without ...
