Chance...

Oh, what a view from the cliff I am standing on,
One jump and my existence will be forever gone,
Down the cliff, I hear people shouting, “Get down you fool.”
And one of them is saying, “If I get this on the camera it would be so cool.”
I shout back, “To live everyone needs love and hope, and I got none.”
“A super jump from here sounds like fun.”
A cold breeze blew, messing up my hair,
I again shouted back, “I really need to ask God, was my life fair?”
“Oh dear boy please don’t make that jump.”, said an old man.
I replied, “Today or tomorrow, death is certain.”
“Why not end it today and ease away the burden?”
“No one that loves no one that cares, to make this jump why shouldn’t I dare?”
After hearing this no one spoke a word,
After a while, I heard someone shouting,” Get it over with you coward.”  
Upon hearing this, I took a few steps forward towards the edge of the cliff,
Ready to give an acrobatic flip,
I closed my eyes, all my life flashed upon at once,
Should I give life one more chance?

Born to Die

Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, Life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly, As a normal person he was born; crying, With the happiest faces were the parents, who had given birth to a new life, A life which was more precious than theirs, A life for which they both deeply cared, A life which would never give them despair, Light of hope in their life had sprung, On the lightest thread their life hung. Days, weeks, months and years passed, Slowly the child began to go to school, Slowly the child began to make friends, Slowly the child started understanding life, Slowly the child had a dream to win without fights, Slowly the child began exploring the cruel nature of the world, People are selfish was the answer he got, Slowly it was time for him to enter his teen, Slowly the changes in him were well seen, Slowly he was no longer a boy, who hid in the crowd, Slowly he became a boy which made the family proud, He always said, “Dream as i...

Somebody there?

  Pitch-black, street lights on, vision compromised, A little late than she expected to return, Just out with some friends for some fun, Heartbeat was racing with every turn, Looking behind constantly to give her mind some clarity, “No one is there, it’s all in my head.”, she told herself on every step. With every stride, she hurried, Not that far from home, she could tell. Made another turn and looked behind, Saw someone and she lost her mind, “Is he following me?”, she asked herself, Not a single optimistic thought came, She made another turn and still, he was right behind, Thought she would be tomorrow’s headline.   “Should I scream? Should I shout?”, “Or should I keep walking out and about?”. She didn’t turn back the rest of the way, Kept reciting Dua’s that all she can say,   Finally, she reached her home and then looked back, No one was there, oh she was glad, She questioned herself, “Was there someone or was it a delusion?”, ...

Stripped, Molested, Raped

A girl asked her mom, “Are women treated right?” Mother replied, “Yes dear! There are tons of ‘Women Rights’” Soon she moved to the city for her further studies, And everything seemed all right. Mom told her, “We are always there for you, just a call away.” Dad told her, “I know you will make us proud.” She was doing so well, everyone was glad, Soon she moved with her friends in a beautiful flat. One day she was a little late to return home, Pitch dark, all silent, she heard some people moan, She knew something bad was going to happen so she tried to flee, Well before that someone jumped on her and said, “I got thee.” Oh, what they did to that poor girl I cannot express, Their stories to their friends they confessed, They even made up a video and posted it online, The girl was gone for a few weeks without a sign, Parents and friends worried sick, tried every means, The police, the public, everyone they tried to reach, A few weeks later her body ...
