It is only after #14

It is only after
You focus
Upon someone else's
Words
That your own
Come into focus
As well.

It is only after #13

It is only after
She wants you
As much as you
Want her,
Dear Sir,
That it can
Be called "consent".
In all other cases,
It's baseless
Shameful harassment,
-a mere lament.

It is only after #12

It is only after
They called
Her degree
-unimportant trash,
That a bold
Streak set her free
To fly with her sash.

It was more than
A piece of paper,
It made her equal to any man,
Worthy of any skyscraper
Office to work in,
Or to bag and win,
The CEO's chair itself.
If she believed in herself,
Nothing was unachievable,
Nothing impossible!

It is only after #11

It is only after
The pain of piercings
In my cartilage,
And all the rage,
Healed within days
That I knew
I knew
That the holes you
Pierced in my heart
As we grew apart
Would heal too...

Although the physical
Scars were visible
And the emotional
Treated as a mere fable
-A label
On my gamble.

I banked on you,
Newest Underdog in town,
Nothing more to do
Now as we go down,
Down, down, down!

It is only after #10

It is only after
I found the sparkle
Of my eye
And waved goodbye
To the dark circle
Underneath
That I became the sword
That needed no sheath.
.
I found the smirk
Of my lips
Ignoring the rips
Of my battered
Shattered
Heart..
Because, baby, I'm an art.
.
I'm the art
You didn't have the eye
For.
Wake up with a start
And groan and sigh
As you look at admireres,
-A score.

You're a Prize!

Say your goodbyes,
To Gasps and sighs.
It's time to know,
Second place has to go,
For you're the First prize!

It is only after #9

It is only after
You've looked long and deep,
Done a full sweep
Of eyes that rarely weep
That you'd know,
There are moments
-moments when I'm submerged within my own self,
Moments when I wouldn't flinch to see you sink,
No tears I'd blink,
But, if you could ignore those flaws,
If you could stick around till the cold thaws,
Baby, I'd drown to keep you afloat.

It is only after #8

It is only after
Things go Downhill
That you truly
Begin the climb Uphill.
.
#musings🌬️❄️

It is only after #7

It is only after
You listen
A song
In a language; foreign,
That you learn
To belong
Not just to yourself
But something
Greater still,
The vast Universe
Maybe even, a Multiverse,
One of many,
And transform into-
An uncanny
One of many
States of being
-Not merely existing
But, actually living.

It is only after #6

It is only after
Moving out
That
You find out
You're half you
Without
Mommy-boo...

Musings of An Insomniac

Some days you watch the Sun come up,
Other days, it watches you go down.

#musings🌬️❄️

It is only after #5

It is only after
You crash and burn
That you learn
Not to settle
Never to settle...
Because settling
Is belittling
Yourself
And all those
Who chose
To believe
In the magic
That is you !

It is only after #4

It is only after
Nothing remains
That
Everything begins
To matter.

#musings🌬️❄️

It is only after #3

It is only after
Someone
Quits you
Like
A bad habit...
That
You think of
All the times
You quit
On others...
When
They had
Just asked
For
A little more
Time...

#musings🌬️❄️

It is only after #2

It is only after
The beginning,
No matter how late,
That you realize
You were capable of it
All along
All this time...

It is only after #1

It is only after
Life give you
A second chance
That
You make
The first one
Worthwhile.
