yawntime blues!


Best lies happen in the dark where nothing can reflect the glint in my eyes

I was heading up the road once again

Finishing my days heartbeats

Clocking in another day

Earth doesn’t move beneath me much these days

There are no ground shakers following me

I stood gaping at the vast sky above

Surely you could send me a mystery or two tonight

Stop this revving restlessness

This madness

That consumes me completely rendering me sheer

And naked for all to mock and poke at

Enough of this being yourself

Grab that hide which suits you like an unfit armor

let you suffocate in it and your boredom shall rest in peace

As you pant against its walls and sweat in the scorching heat

Cry in pain that creeps from all around

Scream your sane head away

And you’d have conquered your ennui…

on my birthday!


Today I was thrown back into the realty
Of ‘normal’ life
Of school uniforms, breakfast , lunch and dinner
In to the world of homework, scrapes and missing pencils

Today in the mirror
saw that I had been away
lines of pain vanished
Waiting to reappear eager

Today I found myself
Crying for my parents
Feebly and uncontrollably
Out of shame and guilt

Today i realized
I had been a zero
Not a 'hero' but just
A pretty Wisp in the wind

Today I mustered the strength
To unlock the door of reality
And realized
How I ever wanted to masquerade...

Today I wanted to sing my swan song
To release my dreams in captivity
And come home again to the darkness of my true identity...
