Don’t know what I am looking for,
Don’t know where I belong…
I’ve had a thousand places to live,
But there was none that felt like HOME.
Not fond of being in control,
So now I am on my own.
Not sure at what point in time
I started to enjoy being alone.
Life half lived, dreams unchased, and a broken soul.
All those days wasted trying to fit in,
I didn’t realize –
There is no way to come in good books of all.
I still want to see the snow, see the stars in open ground.
Seems like the pipeline dreams and imagination is all I have,
to ignore the unending rule book and mess around.
Silence comes through the pain of not being heard,
When I know I can fly high…
Staying in the cage becomes so difficult.
Look closely in my heart, my wardrobe & my house –
you will always find…
Invisible scars, uncomfortable outfits and a conflicting mind.
Afraid of losing the new contour I’ve created somehow,
it seems easier to run far away & start a new life right now.
There the air will be free & I’ll have a bounce in my walk.
My eyes will reflect the joy that I have in my voice when I talk.
The thoughts I have, holds no value in the place where I come from…
May be there they will, and I’ll finally get the felling of the long lost HOME.

Hey Akriti, thanks for following my blog which ultimately lead me to your blog. I must say your writing style is impressive. I loved your poems. Keep going and keep blogging.
Between just a small suggestion. Try to write post in block editor format. I guess you are using the quote version because when viewed from mobile the last few words of every line is not showing up properly.

Welcome to my blog and thanks for reading the poems, really appreciate it. I am happy that you like my work. ☺️ I’ll keep writing & please do keep sharing thoughts like this.
I actually used Verse format, looks like its not that user friendly though. I have recently started writing and feedbacks like this are really helpful. Will make the changes for sure !
