The Visage

The Visage

 

 Staring at my visage 

The world saw a bright face 

but do you know the darkness 

I faced

Do you dare to see the tears 

that spread across my face 

Do you see only when i am bright 

or do you see when i am blue 

Can you tell i'm screaming ?

 out for the help i need 

or i am just the silence 

of a winter night 

Do you see the cold knife 

that stabs my old life 

as i started living on the edge 

like a withered sedge 

Do you see unflawed me 

or do you see the broken me 

Do you see all pain 

or do you just see my pain

or do you just see my joy 

 Do you see what i have become 

in searching for one thing 

that would set my sad soul free 

Look into these eyes 

And dive into my soul 

And tell me am i a 

Shattered piece of glass 

                   or a stunning sapphire

Not only are the rural neighbourhoods quieter and more picturesque, but they also provide a better and improved quality of life. It has also been found that being more connected to the countryside can have a very positive impact on wellbeing, helping to improve the quality of life as the residents have nature and wildlife all around them. Wildlife is more frequently found in rural areas than in cities because of the absence of people and buildings.     The view of the herd of cattles grazing over the fields, the fishes swimming in the distinct ponds having lotuses protruding from t...

 Happiness... In the depths of our soul, a flame ignites, A dance of happiness, pure and bright. With pride as our shield, we stand tall, Excitement dances, ignite our soul, As passions flourish, creativity unfold. Value your worth, breaking down every wall. For within us lies a unique power, A small packet of joy whose aura fragnences every hour. Have to celebrate ourselves, with love so deep, Music of happiness, our soul shall keep. With down to earth attitude and longing for something, should make ourselves high. Yes, Happiness and self-acceptance, forever nearby. -Sauvik Prasad

Dream’s End

By On
 I had a fever dream, of a utopian state A town with no slaves A city with no plagues A flawless place Somewhere I can feel free Where I can be the real me Where the crooks don't steal Where dreams aren't killed Where every obligation is fulfilled And lives are more than just red and blue pills Where the birds don't have to sing inside cages And love isn't just some ink on torn pages Where colors don't fade And we're not divided by borders or races And we don't have to read between the spaces And we're not forced to sing each other's praises Where the world is at peace Where heaven and earth meet A place where a perfect society could be. -Ayush Tripathi
