Sleepless dreams
barefooted anger
hands to mouth life
that you tore apart
Hapless and clueless
dying questions on the lips
churn in the stomach
clammy palms
up in a prayer

Soul
Tired feet
parched soul
only remains the voice of hunger
in the pit of the stomach
the fear of unknown
locks the cry of disgust
within the throat.
O humans!
Why did you pretend to be the Gods?
Everyone
Everyone is an island
there are neither wings
nor paddles to cross
this ocean of fear!
Everyone is watching
there are neither words
nor voice of comfort!
Hang on tightly
onto the rainbow of hope
with the eyes shut
exult in the existence.
Minus the Victor and the Vanquished
The greed wears the cloaks
and the fires that it stokes;
while the innocents choke !
The age old stories repeat
The tragedies happen
To possess, or to wait and watch, or to let it go?
These three questions hold the key to the future
Momentary are the victories
And so are the defeats!
But the destructions remain forever
the scars on the face of earth
and in the heart of the collective consciousness
The victor and the vanquished
both leave the alley of dead.

Build kindness into the system, build forgiveness into the psyches, build relationships that do not have the judge and the victim. There is no cure for this epidemic of anxiety and social awkwardness.
Humans are social animals…, just like most other animals. The only difference is that we are layered and therefore blessed (or cursed) with brains, that develop in leaps and bounds for good or worse.
Introversion or extroversion cannot be the parameters of ‘smartness’, as the prevalent societal norms make people think. It is the place that you have given to ‘fear’ in your psyche that decides and defines you as an introvert or extrovert or ambivert.
Why does social anxiety get the best of the tribe? Why do successful entrepreneurs seem to be the conquerors of fear and doubts?
