Manasvi Sharma Poem
She was here for us everyday
But we forgot to ask
What she was running from
We forgot that she was human too
Not just our shoulder to cry or
Or our therapist to rely on
We forgot she needed us too
We didn't notice her
When she cried behind her perfect smile
And eyes that showed no pain
We didn't notice her
Till she became a memory to be buried within.
And we didn't reply in time
And then came a day
When she wasn't present
To make it all okay
She was already running
Away
She wanted to change the world
Do a little good in her life
But it took her away instead
And the goodness I took for granted
Left
She gave away all her love
Left herself none
And when she wanted help
People ignored her signs
And called her funny instead.
She wanted only a hand to hold
For somebody to grab her
When she plunged into the water below
Somebody to whisper
"Don't worry
I am going to be with you forever."

Manasvi Sharma Poem
"It's half full
No it's half empty"
Bonding over something so bleak
Subtle insanity
"You're too idealistic"
"No it's you who's pessimistic"
"When did I fall for
Such a cute narcissist?"
"Watch and see
I'll soon make you choose
Between the world and me "
"That will be easy
If the world was burning
I would leave ourselves be
Maybe at the end
The flames will thaw your coldness
And let you be free"
But some choices can't be made
Because the people left a little too early
Fate had other plans
Maybe after all
The world was too afraid to see
What happens when
It is the union of wind and sea
Destiny had to intervene.
Chaos was avoided
For now, at least
It tore them apart
But didn't fix their broken hearts
It cut open their souls
Just so the world could remain whole
The two extremes
a slow moving breeze
And a tornado that screamed ...
"Don't enter"
"Please let me in"
"You're just temporary"
"No, I am here to be your permanent"
"When I die"
"Don't talk about that "
"Don't lock yourself away"
"You are going to stay "
"Just wait for me"
"You are not going away"
"In your better place"
"No I won't wait
Take me with you
To 'our' better place"

Manasvi Sharma Poem
The pen is harder to hold now
My head yearns to be slammed into a wall
Maybe then I will finally feel pain
Other than the emptiness
Swallowing me whole
The way I feel God isn't really on my side
abandoned, alone
Like a person damned to be astray
Do I deserve this
Can I feel something else
Other than pity , lost hopes and regret .
I work hard
For years
Yet you all take it away
And I am alone
To deal with the part of me
Which is now gone
It breaks my heart
Leaves it to rot in the core
I can't do this anymore
Being the best and still getting ignored
I can't lie to my own face
"Maybe this was destiny"
No
This was fate making a fickle face
It is so easy
Being happy for yourself when the hard work pays off
What about the rest of us
We try and try
Never to conquer
And the desolation and torment
Don't leave us alone
Even in our dreams, dear.
Now at the end
I am back to square one
Do I start again
And wait for destiny
To play a new cruel game

Manasvi Sharma Poem
It's madness sometimes
And maybe regret
It's soothing and calm
Sometimes
It's days since they last slept
You can escape from anything in this world
But not from your thoughts
You can't escape from your mind
It's prison
Coated as something divine.
So the inkpot is never idle
And the canvas never white
It's one thing after another
We are never proud
Art could always be better

Manasvi Sharma Poem
I am oversaturated with a single emotion
When in truth I really had none
To begin with
Do I really know what is love
Or am I just blinded
To have someone
With only me to think of
Is timeless devotion what I feel
Or "unsought" adoration ?
Do you feel the same
Or was it just me all along?
Should I scream from the pain
You tore me up
Piece by piece
Left me on my own to collect them
And the pathways of my mind
Are forever scratched with your name
Is it really love
Have I turned blind from your pain?
Do I really mean something
Have you thought about our future
Or was it just me
All along
Daring to dream of us together
Should I feel wrong?
You made me heart feel like it's back home
You condemned my soul
To feel what it's like to be known
And at the end
You left all of it alone
Is it okay to feel shaken
Okay to feel wronged?
I'm not really questioning us
I'm just asking
Was there really enough of us
To actually begin?

Manasvi Sharma Poem
Because someday when I have it all
Everything that I dreamed of
I will still think about you (and us?)
About everything that could have been
When I chose to walk away
From a future we could have made.
Sometimes our best decisions become our lifelong regrets
That one other way, the other outcome
We can only wonder in thoughts
About a world that could have been
Had we chosen to hold that hand
And instead of splitting apart
Remained a team.

Manasvi Sharma Poem
I thought you loved me
Even after you broke my hope in a thousand pieces
And left me on my own to collect them
I thought you cared
You were the quietness i sought in the mayhem
You were the will to keep me going
The path I was confident of
The only person
Who could see right through these walls
A different side of me
Which even I didn't know at all
All those nights we spent admiring the moon
When really I was admiring you
I felt so lucky
Even if I didn't care about myself
I cared about you
(And maybe I will always do.)
Why do I wreck my life for someone like you
Even after you break me again and again
Why do I still trust you
Why do I love you even after the pain
Why did you enter my life
Why did you even pretend to care
Why did you become my weakness
Whenever you were far,I craved you near
I need an answer
Not a hanging reply
I need to know how much I mean to you
Somebody you love
Or just use to get by
Why was I so foolish
Why did I try...
Just give me back my heart that left with you
I am not asking you to stay
What else did you take...
My soul
Which was never mine anyway
What about the chapter I wanted to write with you
The home I wanted
To always be by your side
It's crazy really
When I never trusted anyone
With you it felt just right.
You were again in my dreams
I don't know if I was happy to see you again
Or sad because even after all this
You are the only place where my heart still felt at ease
Maybe I threw away my walls a little too far
Believing i deserved a try
Now I don't know how to build them again
I don't know if it's your fault
Or maybe just mine
What we had was beautiful
A work of art
But you tore apart the canvas
The broken pieces gash deeper than shards
They cut me apart
You moved on
But why are you still here
Why do you get a place in my heart
When I don't get one in your life

Manasvi Sharma Poem
Dear anxiety
You have been getting to me in the past few days
Can you leave now?
My head hurts too much
My body refuses to move
My mind is paralyzed from the weight
It is making me suffocate
It's too much now
The pills are finished
The feeling of disappointment leaves marks.
How deep? Uncertain?
I wonder about the way I should die
I hate hanging, I might go with the knives.
It's okay
Nobody will even notice that I'm gone
My presence won't stick
It will slough and shred
Even in your memory
I will be discarded
My legs feel stiff from running too much
Bandages mangled with the scars hidden
Nothing is wrong with me
Just an empty mind
And a body feeling like prison
Tear me apart
Piece by piece
Spill them on the floor
Then step on me
Crush me a little more
What do I do
Wait for a miracle
Or just watch myself crumble
Maybe neither
Already the knife is stained red
The blood is free
Blissfully happy to fall.

Manasvi Sharma Poem
Things haven't gone my way
I put two years in the mix
But luck wasnt on my side they say
There is now too much to fix
Too many lost expecatations
"Just a disappointment"
Starting over
was not my intent
It hurts
More than anything
Looking at all of them
Succeding
And still pretending
To smile happily at everything
How do I make out
A silver lining in this cloud
It has swallowed me whole
I want to scream
There's nobody to hear
Empty chaos runs inside me
The volcano is ready to erupt
I can't control it
An awaited catastrophy
My face wants to break
Into a thousand pieces
My wrists want to bleed
Save me for the stichtes
I have pulled out all my hairs
My head is swollen
Slammed into a wall
Outside a smiling face
Inside a broken doll
I can't do it
I don't deserve happiness
I am happy with regret.

Manasvi Sharma Poem
Would you shed a tear
Or just live like everyday
If it is tomorrow
That God takes me away
To his kingdom in the clouds
Would you watch me there, as I float about?
