No Cafè stays open this late now,
No fuel in my car too.
Stuck in front of two roads,
Who knows which one is right or which one is wrong.
A few went to the left and a few went to the right,
I wish to go straight though; into the woods, I stood.
Without a torch or a fire,
Nothing to guide me at all,
I went ahead in that deep dense forest seeking a few answers.
Before I entered, I had only one question.
But now my mind keeps filling with more.
Rocky terrain all over the place now,
Shaky world it has started to become.
So feel like taking my wish back,
Just want to start over with a normal way and a guide to get me out of this darkness and night.
But I guess I have come to far, too far alone.
Thought of that as motivating, went ahead.
Took a shortcut to reduce some pain of mine,
It may help me to heal before time.
Healed but broken again,
The shorter route had too many thorns in it too.
Don’t know why I always get stuck in these paths of lies,
Why every path from afar seem so good until I step on it and when I do step I don’t know why it seems so far to go back too.
Who gives a shit anymore? Kept walking on the same path.
Climbing every hill I see,
With the hope that I could slide down and feel some ease.
Its been a while and I have been walking in these thorns for too long to. Strange that I have stopped feeling them too just like they have stopped coming in my mind every now and then.

I see, I see a ray of light.
It fades after a little time but it sure comes back pretty soon.
Have I reached my destination after all and so soon?
I wonder why I ever said so soon.
I think I have started adapting with the darkness now,
My destination was here, all this time.
Right above my head was she.
Not shining much but enough.
Enough for me to understand,
I was always on the right path.
Every thorn I crossed, she crossed with me too.
How could I never see in all this darkness?
Too ashamed to look all the way above I guess.
Not anymore, I was the happiest now.
Happy enough to glow that star a little more.

---

There was I, happy as heaven with her right above my shoulder.
There was I, with my own rocky but adventurous life.
Before it could end with a happy note, the fire had reached my cigar’s butt.
And it was time to leave it all there, without an end and leave my imagination closed till the next time.

The Truth…
The truth is…
The girl you saw and smiled at today, probably didn’t notice you.
The guy you stared so warmly at, didn’t even made an eye contact.
The friend that said will be there, will leave even before problem touches your door.
The virtual friend you keep asking for to meet, won’t show up ever.
The person you trust the most, is just a person behind a computer no one knows about.
The person you just sent your topless photo to, is watching it with a few others.
The guy you just said, “I like you too.” Has heard it thrice in one day.
The girl who just said, “bye, I have to sleep.” Just got up for someone else.
The perfect couple you envy so much, has fights every day.
The big houses you see while driving and wish of having, people living in it work hard for it.
The food you waste, could be someone’s best meal.
The guy you just said no to, waited months for you.
The girl you just dumped, gave it all to you.
The crush you hopelessly have on someone since high school, probably won’t ever have any feelings for you.
The love letter you just received from the ‘one’, it was written by someone else for someone else and it was forwarded it to you.
World is full of liars, just find the one you wont mind getting lied by.
Hope is always there, just don’t give up so soon.
Someone always care and is always there, don’t ever say you are alone.
Love is always in front of us but just not by the one we want.
Expectations are always there, not expecting should be the option.

Whats left to say other than that every move you make may land you up in vain. Hopeless for a perfect loving future. But all this happens for a reason. Thats what he always believed and still did. No matter how many bad things were coming his way. He always believed that something good might come out of it too. Too positive for a negative world. Too true for a world full of fake people. Just the opposite of what he should have been. But still he carried on with positivity all around him. Crushed every negative vibe and created a new vibe. Turned every sad face into a smiling one and gave hope to the hopeless. Was too altruistic, always thinking of others and always helping others before thinking of himself. Never thought that someday his life would take a bad turn too. How could it? being that positive, there was no option for a negative turn but who knew someday he would run out of positivity by taking in all the negativity and giving positivity to others.
The change went unnoticed by many but he could feel it inside him. He could feel his heart feel empty and his smile turning upside down. He could feel the pain that was rising and the love for darkness appearing. Suddenly all the vibrant colors changed into black and all the smiles turned into sad faces. He was seeing what he always feared. The dark phase of his life. Something he couldn't control. It just took over him. Making all the happy moments sad and his light heart heavy. Running out of happiness and positivity, he gave up. Sitting in a corner and just letting all the negativity come at him. Tears flowing with pain and sadness, he tried to stop. But there was nothing and no one to make him feel happiness again. Everyone was busy with their lives and so he decided to get busy too.
Starting a new life at a new place with a different view of everyone and everything. He started walking down that road. The road he was afraid of from the start,he was finally there. Hurting his feet and getting weaker by heart. All he could wish was for someone to give him some of his happiness back...but how could he know the cruelty of the world. That people always make promises because they are meant to be broken and they always say that they will be there because they never think a day would come where they will be questioned about it. But that day he did get to know about everything. The good and the bad. The dream crushers and the dream makers. They were the same people. The same people who gave you hope but when you felt happy, they called you hopeless. There was no good or bad. There were just people. People keeping you till they had their dreams fulfilled and taking care of you till they achieved their goals. In the end all he could think of were the moments he was broken down but he tried to keep his head high and all he could say was that something good will come out of this bad too. With this said he went back to the corner and just stayed there waiting...
