Anger (Mis)Management

I pop a pill or two to feel calm once in a while.

But they don't seem to work no more.

What am I to do when my dreams are dying?

I ingest pegs of whiskey too many, too few.

But they don't get me high no more.

How much more can I do when I'm already trying?

Come and take away my sense of pride.

Come and take away my reason to stay alive.

Come and devour my body, rip it into pieces.

Like you always do with my head.

"If That Day Comes, I Know We Can Win"

Down in the gutter where everything looks fancy,

we live our whole lives.

We live in a box.

We run in circles.

Only to lose it all in the end.

Down in the gutter where everything looks fancy,

he is the king and she is the queen.

But they live in a room of mirrors.

They call it their 'followers'.

Oh, the mediocrity.

Oh, the hypocrisy.

Wearing a different mask for each day of the week.

For people in the gutter need something to talk about too.

Love As Straight As Your Sexuality.

Nobody likes bisexuals. We're much like the bats from the birds and animals story, we don't belong to the straight club and neither do we fit into the gay club. It's a little depressing to think that our sexual preference often makes us come across as promiscuous and hence loose. I've heard enough jokes made both in front of me as well as behind my back to know that the ridicule has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

But what I don't get is why straight people have to be such homophobic assholes. If we don't judge you for your narrow-mindedness and your bogus notions of perversion and sin, then why do you judge us for who we choose to love?
I'm lucky that I've been able to partially come out of the closet (I say partially because I accept myself for who I am but having said that, I don't let my sexual preference be the only thing that defines who I am) but not everyone is as privileged. I don't get why some people have to be such cowards. If you happen to be a boy and like cock or a girl and like pussy, who the fuck cares? How the fuck does it even matter what someone ELSE thinks about YOU?

Please don't let judge-y judges dictate and impose what they think is acceptable in this society and suppress who you are.
Please don't think of yourself as abnormal just because you're not "like everyone else"

Fuck everyone else.
They don't matter.
People will hate on you without reason anyway.

Love whoever the fuck you want to.
Love them regardless of their gender.
If you want to dress like a man, do so.
If you want to dress like a woman, go ahead.
Nobody has the right to make you confirm.
Our notions of gender roles are so primitive, so schizophrenic.
Fuck what society expects of you.

If you want to bat for both teams, go ahead man.
Like the joke goes, it doubles your chances for a date on a saturday night!

What Would Brian Kinney Do?

Chin up, soldier.
Don't let what they say bring you down.
It's your battle, not theirs anyway!

Fuck This City

Not dying, but dead.

This city, my city.

My whole life.

Ugly faces, uglier souls.

No ambition, no aspiration.

Time passes by like a chore.

Uninspiring.

Corrupt.

Banal.

Mediocre minds living in a bubble.

Trying to bring down whoever dares to rise.

Inconsequential.

This city, my city.

My home.

Beady Eyes

I was fucking you when I was with someone.
I was fucking you when I was with the next one.
I was fucking you even though we both knew that it was immoral and a sin.

We made out in dirty public restrooms, taxis, random rooftops and poorly lit roads that led to nowhere.
We shared secrets that you have taken with you to your grave.

I don't miss you because I miss you.
I only think of you because I know that I can never have you again..

Lovesong

I love you more than I love myself.

But I lie so well.

I lie so well.

And I don't know how to make it stop.

I need you more than I need myself.

But I lie so well.

Oh, I lie so well.

And I've managed to fool everybody.

I want you.

I want to be with you.

I want you to want me.

One more time.

Just to refresh the memory.

I've been obsessing about you for far too long.

But I never had you.

You never gave yourself to me completely.

I'm tired of waiting for you to come back.

I need to move on now.

I need to crawl back into my shell.

And only come out when I start my next life...

Big Long Now

What charm.
What grace.
What a man.
What a mighty good man.
But let me open your can of worms tonight, please.

Lay down beside me like you did so many years ago.
Whisper all those marvelous things into my ear.
Make me nervous.
Make me beg.
But most importantly, don't come before I do...

Self Service

I admire people who can successfully get off  on their own. A lot of people find it appalling, but I, for one am quite jealous of those who can pleasure themselves, climax without being dependent on someone else. Human beings have this constant need to be in a group or with someone else.
We eat, for ourselves.
We shit, for ourselves.
So why can't we masturbate to please ourselves? What is so abnormal about it?

What is abnormal, is the constant need to molest and rape.
What is abnormal, is pedophilia.
What is abnormal, is how people are okay with rape but not with masturbation in this country.

I wish I was asexual sometimes. That is how I am expected to portray myself infront of others anyway. Or else I might just get raped. Again!

Secrets

I swore to myself that I'd stay off the glue.
And never think of all those days.
Dark days.
Promiscuous misadventures.
Painting the town red.
Waking up in the morning with no recollection of the previous night.

....what a life that was...

Queer As...

When sleeping forever seems like a distant dream, I go back to my chemically induced thoughts and ideas.
Everything works in a loop and I'm just a shadow of who I used to be.
The shadow keeps getting faint.
So transparent.

I hate dreaming, it only leads to heartbreak.
And pain.
Agony.

Happy new year to me.
Another year gone by, reminding me of what a failure I am.
I've failed.
At pretty much everything I have tried to do.
And it's because I don't love myself enough.
I don't think of myself as someone worthy of happiness.

I've been a bad person.
I will continue to be so.
But I've also been a good person sometimes.
Many times.
Where did that get me?

Fuck you for trying to bring me down.
Fuck you for making me feel like dirt.
Fuck you for corrupting my notions of love and life.
Fuck you for ruining my life.

It still hurts.
Just like the first time.
Another year gone by but the memories haven't  faded yet.

Innocent kisses.
The feeling of helplessness.
False bravado.
Secret tears.
Semen.
Semen.
Semen.
And most importantly, so much pain...

I'm so tired of the hurt that memories still cause.
I'm tired of putting up a brave face everyday and going about pretending like nothing's wrong.
I'm so tired of resorting to other people and other things to make everything better.
I'm just so tired.
I wish I could go to bed tonight and never wake up....I wish I could sleep forever....

Pimri

I miss people who don't even exist anymore.
I miss their company.
I miss his company to be more specific.

People would say that I am still mourning his death.
I hope I am too.
I want to move on so badly but I just can't seem to get myself to do so.

I close my eyes and there he is, smiling at me, comforting me.
I can hear his soft, soothing voice.
I can feel him.
But I know that he's not here, he never will be here for me anymore.

There won't be anymore dirty secrets to keep.
There won't be anymore life-changing conversations.
There won't be anymore innocent confessions of love.
There won't be anymore afternoons of lust.
And bliss.
And pain.
And momentary togetherness.

It's not him that's dead but a part of me that's gone. Forever.

I feel so incredibly disillusioned these days.
I contemplate suicide from time to time knowing fully well that I am not as selfish as him, I can never be.
I care about my parents too much.
It would be heartbreaking to put them through so much pain.
And honestly, that's the only thing that stops me from killing myself.

It's so painful to live everyday feeling so dead inside.
I have nothing to look forward to, no dreams, no aspirations and no hope.
I don't know why but I've given up.

This mundane middle-class, mindless existence tires me so so much.
I don't want better things in life.
I don't want love.
I don't want happiness.

I just want to make an exit and hopefully never return, is that too much to ask for?

"tor bari giye bhoot kore asbo..and finish that long,forsaken desire"

 I love you too . I really do. There, I've said it!

Chemical Burns

I took a step back.
I took two steps back.
I took three steps back.
And I reached the exact same spot that I had started from.

He watched as I made one mistake after another.
He did not say a word.
He enjoyed the spectacle.
He'd never stop saying things that would make me doubt myself.

I bled.
I bled.
I bled.
As I lay on the floor, thinking that I was probably dying.

Big, strong words.
Big, strong hands.
Tiny sense of self.

You put me under your spell.
Oh, you played the game so darn well.
But I was too young to comprehend what the consequences would be.

What a mess.
What a mess.
What a mess.
I had to clean it all up.

you...

I wish I could take back everything I've felt and thought about you just to start all over again.

You,  you've looked into my soul.
Tell me, what was it like?
How is it like on the other side?
Is it worth all this trouble?

I would have kept everything aside like always and helped you get through the mess.
I did it before and would have done it again.
Wasn't that the deal?

You said you loved me, but did you not think of me even once before you decided to give up?

I'm sorry I couldn't understand the things you told me, but I understand now.
I understand every word.
I understand how sincere you were while I wrote all our conversations and moments off.

I feel guilty and quite frankly ashamed of myself.
Perhaps I wasn't there as much as I should have.
I let my pride get in the way.
I let what others thought of you get in the way.
I'm sorry.
I didn't reciprocate to your feelings even though I perhaps should have.
I'm sorry.

I'm trying so hard not to let you fade from my head.
I'm clinging on to the memories so tightly.
But I know they'll disappear completely one day.
All I'll have left with me will be your name.
A name and nothing more.

You were always wise beyond your years.
Maybe tomorrow, when I'm where you were once, I'll be able to understand why you did what you did.
I was the first.
I will be the first one to catch up with you again.

Dew. Overdue.

I've been putting this off for longer than I should. But it is time. There has been a routine which I have been following unintentionally for some time now. I wake up everyday, practise yoga for a while and the proceed to go about the things that usually follow during the day. But I end on the same note every night- smoke half a joint, contemplate in silence for a while and then go off to sleep. But starting my day trying to get a little closer to your inner self seems to work wonderfully. I'm more calm, less depressed and (almost) oblivious to all the things that go wrong during the course of the day. But the nights are still difficult to get past. I'm trying to work out a way to fix that too.

All's Well That (Supposedly) Ends Well.

Facing the monster was the stupidest thing I have done in ages. I have nobody to love/hate anymore. The little masochistic part of me has died, I quite miss it.

I go back to bed with an empty heart every night.

There's nobody I love to hate or hate to love anymore.

Indifference is more painful than anything that I have experienced so far.

Indifference is the real heartbreak, not sadness.

Desensitization.

Don't let what other people say about you define who you are.

Don't let the clothes that you wear define who you are.

Don't let the pattern of thoughts in your head define who you are.

Do not conform to authority.

Do not let anybody else make you feel inferior.

Do not blindly trust anybody but yourself.

Do not give in to the rules.

Do not give up your freedom.

Live life just the way you want to.

Be yourself without hesitation.

Fuck society.
