Gravity

Silver shines painfully pricking the caressing complexion of molten melanin.

They can see the laughs but not the pain, which echoes in the giggles. Like a stone hits the deep bottom of the lake, it seems like hitting an all time low; drowning in the unfathomable ocean of memories.

But, alas! No one is there to save you, and giving up is not allowed. Be your own saviour, learn to swim; rather float to the surface again.

But didn't they know, I was never a surface attire; always a deep thinker. Never superficial, yet always conspicuous.

Every one points fingers at you, and no one reciprocates your failure. Whereas everyone is there to take credit and celebrate your success. Yet, your only choice left is in the chances you take.

I kept telling myself, "Believe in yourself, coz no one else ever will. Love yourself and value yourself, because otherwise you won't be able to value others."

If failure and success is a part of life, then why don't we celebrate the latter as well?
After all, the greatest of successes is always preceded by the greatest of failures.

Yes, I am unlike You,
Different things I mostly do,
If you don't ask, I won't tell,
On the past I seldom dwell.

Yes, I am unlike You,
Acquaintances I have a few,
But none know the real me,
There is more than what one can see.

Yes, I am unlike You,
Sometimes suave, sometimes waiting for a clue,
I have had my share of ups and downs,
Dizzy days, tormenting frowns.

But, I am just like You,
I am a human too,
Then why can't I express myself much,
Always shut down as such.

Forced to ignore the pain,
As if it were washed away by the rain,
Now I doubt whether I am one of you,
Or none of you.

Both madness and melancholy,
Are just like gravity,
All they need,
Is a little push to be freed,
But don't forget, that like a seed,
You can grow up again, indeed.
