Surbhi Sharma Poem
It hurts when it feels like everything is up in the air,
It hurts when life doesn't seem fair
It hurts when happiness disappears without warning,
It hurts when you have to endure unceasing mourning
It hurts when there is no safe place to rest your ache,
It hurts when surviving no longer looks like a piece of cake
It hurts when memories that once held dear dissipate,
it hurts when paradise should be there, but purgatory waits
It hurts when every bone in the body fancy love & connection,
It hurts when the head rejects even little scraps of affection
It hurts when darkness doesn't look thrilling,
It hurts when life feels hollow and unfulfilling
It hurts when I am fine is nothing but a lie,
It hurts when the soul longs to leave the body and fly high
It hurts when inner demons become angry beasts,
It hurts when self-doubt is the food they love to feast
It hurts when the mind goes through immense emotional pain,
It hurts when every effort to fix it goes in vain
It hurts when every thought about oneself turns black and white,
It hurts when even small battles demand a tough fight
It hurts when familiar and unfamiliar faces seem alike,
It hurts when the mouth doesn't utter a word, the world hands over a mike
It hurts when the frown refuses to leave the face,
It hurts when you no longer know the emotion to chase
It hurts when acting normal becomes tough,
It hurts when every behavior is called rude or rough
It hurts when eyes become easily wet,
It hurts when the sun of hope begin to set
It hurts when numbness refuses to go,
It hurts when mood willingly chooses to be low
It hurts when the empty void in heart keeps on evolving,
It hurts when mistakes from the past keep the head revolving
It hurts when noises inside your head are too damn loud,
It hurts when you know they don't deserve the crowd
It hurts when the light that shines in the tunnel wane,
It hurts when they bluntly say “stay in your lane”
It hurts when cold shoulders are given more often than lovely kisses,
It hurts when the childhood days are the only time the heart misses
It hurts when indifference become the response to every query,
It hurts when patience runs thin, and the heart gets weary
It hurts when awful days extends beyond their due date,
It hurts when escape looks appealing in absence of a gate
It hurts when bright dreams morph into wildest nightmares,
It hurts when after every nap, mouth utters WHO CARES!

Surbhi Sharma Poem
Why am I wearing a fake "SMILE" MASK?
If that's what you wish to ask
Let me give you the perfect response
Its pros far outweigh its cons
Behind it, I feel safe and secure
It seems to work great as a cure
Surely, it serves a purpose, a goal
when it hides broken & bruised soul
It saved me in a million different ways
When I was going through a gloomy phase
When was the first time I used it on my face?
Once the face began losing its "grace"
The despair began its new cruel chase
Captured me within its chaotic maze
Took over all the good things in life
It didn't even spare my innocent eyes
It filled it with constant lies and smiles
Attacked the mind, the natural highs
Afterward, it reached the lips as well
Struggles become the silent tell
People started saying you look well
Sure, those days were awful as hell
When the mask is gone, the face feels free
My inner beauty, you can see
Do I take my mask off sometimes?
Yeah! every day, before bedtime
But as soon as the morning arrives with sun
The mask announces its grand return
It covers the nose, lips, and eyes
Once again, I enter the world of lies
The distance between real and fake expands
The bright green turns into barren lands
Earlier, the mask wasn't that desired
Later, it became highly "required"
The necessity evolved into love too soon
Now the mask appears as a boon.

Surbhi Sharma Poem
Mind is brimming with gloom and fears
Waiting to be "heard" or "seen" through tears
The burden of which rheumy eyes couldn't bear
When cruel judgments reach the empty ears
Coming from the mouth of impassive peers
resulting in crushing poor souls for years
By putting a leash on ever-ready tears
We manage to hide and cherish our fears
A fake smile is what the mouth often wears,
all set to utter ceaseless "CHEERS"

Surbhi Sharma Poem
Horror things aren't scary anymore
Neither deformed faces nor the creepy lore
Doesn't startle me the way they used to
Doesn't make the stomach beg for a loo
I guess this is what numbness feels like
the ghost inside and out seems alike
The inner demons carry more suspense
When they come and give a nasty glance
Their babble makes impeccable sense
Does fake eerie music stand a chance?
The rapid breathing, the pale face
No longer have any grace
Darkness looks so captivating
It always manages to keep me waiting
Every day I wait for intense nightmares
Desperate to feel emotions, all its layers

Surbhi Sharma Poem
My thoughts were cruel demons in disguise
They managed to behave all sane and wise
Over me, they exert their dirty power,
they never had a will to take a shower
They sucked the joy out of life,
and next day, grew double in size
when I asked, they told me lies
I could see it in their eyes
when I heard those bogus cries
they made up few flawed replies
I had no valid choice
so I threaten them with high pitched voice,
“you and I can’t afford ties
it’s the truth no one denies
you are the creatures I despise.
don’t you dare be my spies
“stay away” or you will die
it’s a battle, I intend to survive
you won’t get time to say “why”
so do a favor, just say goodbye”

Surbhi Sharma Poem
I wasn't constrained to dwell in hell
But I brought it right here in the cell
Demons surely came along,
Wearing their fancy thongs
They crave a filthy bong, and
Wished to stay for a little long
While busy playing ping and pong,
They somehow knew the vibes were wrong
So, they began singing nasty songs
While hitting a really special gong
They said, your mind is where we belong
So it’s better if you learn to play along
Since they were way too strong
I just stayed up all night long
Looking for tricks to get along,
Pleading them to stop ding dong.
