I was your shadow
Always following you
In stormy nights
In grainy lights
Even in your darkest hours
When you were too immersed
In your own darkness to see me.
I was your air
Essence of your life
But unnoticed
Until the day I left
And you realised
What suffocation is.
I was your sun
You frowned
Whenever you looked at me
Hid yourself
In my presence
But you didn't realise
Without me
No dawn is coming.
Do you remember...
When you stopped looking at the universe,
With your youthful curiosity and childlike wonder.
When you started repressing your emotions,
And your heart became heavy with burdens.
The day you stopped counting the stars
And you realised even the moon has scars
When you stopped holding people's hands
Figured out every smiling face isn't your friend.
When you started building these walls around you,
So strong, that nothing can ever seep through.
When you discovered the crowd isn't the place you belong,
You crave the moments where you find yourself alone.
Even when you hate the hovering loneliness.
You condone it as a price of the silence.
Do you remember....
The day you grew up?
Do you remember....
The last time you smiled without any care,
The last time you opened your heart to someone,
The last time you let the dreams cloud your vision,
The last time you felt restless from excitements,
The last time you held your love on open palms,
The last time you felt the rush of life in your veins
Do you remember...
The day you stopped living?
You should have told me
Before me you made me smile
Before you showed me the stars
Before you lit that candle in my heart
Before you made me want you
You should have told me
That love comes with a price tag!
Great working with you.@writingsbypb
Iss confusion k raaste main kuch naya sikhne ko mil gaya❤
I'd love to say ki our generation is more accepting than the previous generation. But bohot log aise v hain ki jinko jio aur jine do ka matlab samajh main nhi ata.
Whether Molested Girl Or LGBTQ People
Whether Rich Or Poor
Whether Educated Or Uneducated
Whether Employed Or Unemployed.
Our Society Has Never Accepted LGBTQ Community. Even after the decriminalization of Section 377. A very popular personality when came out and said that he is bisexual, his mother and brother left him. His mother doesn't consider him her child anymore. If the family does not come forward and accept their child's sexuality then how can we aspire to change the society. Just because of this fear, no-one says it openly to their family nor they talk about it. It is one's personal choice. No one has the right to put question marks on them. There are certain groups of transgender people who are identified as Hijras, Kothis, Shiv Shaktis etc. In the past they were treated with great respect but with time, their respect is disappearing.
_______________________________________
They are human beings too, whose feelings get hurt every time someone teases them. There are approximately 480,000 transgender people in India, and they are referred as “Third Gender” now. The rights for males, females and Third Gender is equal. Their right to have equal education, health facilities and employment is constantly violated. They should be given equal opportunities as others. They should be treated equally.
Did you know?
That the warrior Shrikhandi in Mahabharata was a transgender. He was born as a girl.
Bhagiratha who's believed to bring Ganga to earth was procreated by two queens with the blessing of Lord Shiva.
That Agni, the fire god, is also married to Soma, the moon god.
No?
What about when Krishna says in Gita,
“In every man, woman, kinnar(transgender) and any other species of animal or plant, lives a part of me.”

When the mischief, that you fell in love with, evanesces from my smile,
would you still be able to love me?
When the buoyancy, that you find refreshing, vanishes from my eyes,
would you still be able to love me?
When my beauty, that captivates your eyes, fades with time,
would you still be able to love me?
When my face, that you say reflects my heart, stops Conveying emotions,
would you still be able to love me?
When the sanity, that holds me together, leaves me scattered around,
would you pick up the pieces for me?
When the darkness, that I fight to keep at bay, consumes me one day,
would you still be able to see me?
When I stand before you, lost somewhere in my mind,
would you still be able to find me?
When the baggage that I carry, slows you down in life,
would you stay back just for me?
If you're going to leave me one of those days,
then, do you really love me?
You were something wild
And I'm self destructive from the start
May be that's why I loved you
So you could tear me apart....
[What’s the rush?]
Months spent, years lost
several ages of humankind,
Turned to dust.
Searching the meaning
In meaninglessness
Seeking the purpose
In pointless existence.
In the grand universe
Though a tiny particle
Striving to leave a mark
On the earth's chronicle
That's Its own way
of attaining immortality
Conquering the fear of death
And Converging to eternity
But shortsighted as you are,
Didn't stop to think
That writing on the sand
Could be erased in a blink
Could be that your life,
Is one beautiful accident
You shine for a moment,
You exist, and that is the point.
You patched yourself up
With little pieces of me
But can't you really see
It has left me empty
The daunting hollowness
Eating me from inside
Yet your eyes taunt
I must be guilty
What's so additive
About the pain and the heartache
That I couldn't step aside
Until pushed to the edge
I couldn't leave your side
The millions of seconds
It took me to realise
The best of your moments
Are the worst of my life
The path is now lost.
And all of us wanderers have nowhere to go.
