Detached

I was reading a blog on the website of Psychology Today,
“Sense of belonging is a basic need,” it did say.
Got thoughts while reading, and thought to write this poem,
I’m growing in a different way, it seems, I don’t feel like I belong.
’Twas fun Friday going on at workplace, involving all office-people,
I didn’t participate, indulged scrolling desktop screen, sitting in my cubicle.
Ze often ask why I’m so non-participative,
And suggest me to participate and become active.
None of ’em understands I ne’er get the urge to participate,
Socialising is something I always negle’t.

I enjoy readin’ books or listenin’ to songs,
And prefer enjoying company of my own,
With others I don’t get along.
I’m all detached, to nothin’ & none I belong.

Options Unavailable

I don’t have options,
I go to a home where I don’t feel at home.
Right after reaching there,
I start to think about leaving the city again.
I don’t know why I don’t feel any connection,
Post 2017, if I’m remembering it correctly,
I stopped feeling good there.

Bus journey to the city is more beautiful and pleasing,
Than that so-called home.
I don’t know what they mean,
When they say about excitement of home comeing.

I can guess why, but don’t know how I’ve become this way.
I try my best but all I feel is cold,
And it feels depressing as fuck.
I’ve my whole life ahead,
Now I am just 22 years old, damn!

Once every month, I go home.
With no excitement of home coming,
Though, I feel really good,
Only till I am inside the bus.
All the good feeling fades
With the end of the bus journey.
I feel kinda bored,
Sort of suffocation I get.
’Tis weird, as it sounds, I know.
I cannot remember,
What, when, & where the things went wrong.
’Tis what ’tis, I wrote what I feel.
I’m this way since years now,
Disconnected.

Empty Playlist
(Extended & Rhyming Version)

Hey, Fneneo!
I got a thing to tell thee.
I know ’tis not in the knowledge of thou.
Almost half or one year ago,
On Spotify, I created a playlist for thou,
With Hindi songs, not many but three.
Of thy face, those songs used to remind me.
Occasionally, I used to lis’n to ’em,
I named the playlist “Fneneo,” ’tis thy encrypted name.

Here’s a twist I got
’Twas unexpected, unbelievable, something I ne’er thought.
A few months ago, I checked the playlist, ’tis still there, public & visible,
But the songs I added ain’t anymore available
I e’en manually searched for ’em on Spotify, but I’m unable
I don’t know and ’ave no idea where did ze go
Why I ain’t able to find ’em, why ze ain’t there anymo’e?

Post-August 2019, there started a tale
Which this poem will try to tell
From a youths’ place, this story does hail

Ahead in this poem, ’twill unfold
What, to date, was unshared and untold
’Tis something that will ne’er get old
There were two stranger souls
They knew none, nor each other, at all
But somehow, time was playing its ’ole

Gradually, it came a day, in front of an internal entrance gate
Ze got to know each other, ’twas the place where first ze met
When One got stuck in things, a helping hand the Other led
And the story’s founding stone it did set

Eventually, betwixt ’em, a bond was made
Ze didn’t talk regularly, but the bond didn’t fade
Each with a secret but none of ’em shared
To tell each other, none of ’em e’er dared
One got a feeling, thought to take the steps next
Completely unaware of becoming Other’s one of the best’

Once, One’s mind changed, supposed steps were ne’er taken
But remained one of the bests for the Other, ’twas always this same
Days, months, and years have passed
’Tis hard to recall when ze met last

One day, a short message the Other sent
And informed ’bout an upcoming & especial event
’Twas the message the Receiver couldn’t ignore
’Cause ’twas from someone the Receiver always did adore
Happiness was felt in the Receiver’s heart
The date for the event on calendar got marked
A date when two souls were finally ’bout to meet
E’en if for a few minutes only, ’twas still worth it
A few days later, it came the day
To meet the Other, One traveled a 3-hours way
On the next day, One reached a few hours after the noon
Hoping to meet the Other, very soon
But was also mentally prepared for a long wait
Other’s new life was about to begin, Ze’s meeting was bound to be late
Ze finally met around 01:30 AM in the night
Ze greeted, shook hands, smiled, talked for a few minutes, and then goodbyed

For You
My dear Someone
I am trying to write a poem
Unable to write

No, not because I am overthinking
There’s nothing like that, really
But because I want
To express and hide it all at the same time

I ain’t sure whether or not love can make you a poet. But depression, overthinking, suppressed feelings, past nightmares and suicidal thoughts can certainly make you a poet.

One Year from A Thunderstorm

Exactly one year ago, on this day, there came a disastrous thunderstorm
It didn‘t ’ave any early signs, ‘twas a sudden, uninformed
This disaster brought an earthquake along,
Shockwaves of which still often visit, when the sun sets down
There was a small, newly built shade, made of bushes and tins
Which got badly affected by the ruthless lightning beams
The noises of the thunderbolts were deafening, capable of making anyone deaf
Their echoes in the ears still run deep
There was a small botany, too, there were flowers used to bloom
But they don’t show up, anymore, since that day of the doom

I created a playlist,
Dedicating you

A few days ago before you broke the news,
That playlist had disappeared

I manually searched the Spotify,
But literally couldn’t find the songs I added to that playlist.

Nothing can really be done,
E’en if you know your friend’s falling for the wrong one.
To your friend, nothing really can be said,
E’en if you can feel that your friend will be cheated.
’Tis not that you don’t wish well for your frien’,
But as now your friend’s in a relationship, you’re no longer dear to ’em.
Things change, so the friendships of today.
Before a few-days-old relationship, friendship of almost one year fades away.
