SILENT BETRAYAL

 In a world where friendships fray,

Once close bonds now fade away.

Promises broken, trust betrayed,

In the aftermath, hearts dismayed.


Through halls of learning, paths we tread,

From strangers to friends, it's said.

But for me, a different tale unfolds,

Leaving behind what once felt bold.


I pledged to shield, to stand as one,

Yet you shattered it, one by one.

Without explanation, without remorse,

Leaving wounds, an unseen force.


Each member fought, defended true,

Yet your actions left us askew.

From tying laces to shared stages bright,

We stood by you, in day and night.


What turned you cold, what made you stray,

To soil lives in such disarray?

Entering homes uninvited, hearts torn,

Breaking bonds that were once sworn.


Now ships adrift, stained with pain,

In the wake of your selfish gain.

So many hearts left bruised and sore,

In the wake of the storm you bore.


Yet amidst the wreckage, a glimmer shines,

In the hope of healing, in love's designs.

For from the ashes, new bonds may rise,

In the echo of forgiveness, under kinder skies.

The Unspoken Struggle: Growing Up in a Joint Family

In a busy home where many generations lived together, we were born into a joint family system. Here, family values weren't just taught; they were the very air we breathed. From the moment we could walk, we learned the importance of family. Growing up with brothers, we often acted like them, sometimes forgetting how to be women, even though we were fragile and sensitive. As the only girls in such a household, the weight of responsibility settled on our shoulders early on. Our own choices were rarely prioritized; the family's needs always came first. Whether it was about our school or work, hanging out with friends, traveling, or even driving a car, every decision required the entire family's approval. Respecting family choices, even when it meant hiding our pain, was normal. Regardless of whether our relatives were on good terms with our parents, we had to respect and participate in family events to keep the peace. The values we grew up with meant we had to show respect to e

In the solace of paper, my pen's embrace,

  In the stillness of the night, I'm wide awake, Silent tears trace the journey on my face. Only I bear the weight of what I've lost, The skin I wear feels worn, like a heavy cost. Success, once mine, breeds envy's seed, Friends turn to foes, like swords indeed. Longing for days of pride and love, I grapple with secrets held high above. Why my heart aches, I can't express, Each morning a storm, night a funeral dress. I laugh out loud to drown the inner scream, Seeking peace, chasing a vanishing dream. I yearn to forget the friends of yore, Mentors once revered, now a distant shore. Memories linger, a haunting wraith, I crave happiness, escape from this scathe. In the solace of paper, my pen's embrace, I confide in the pain, seeking grace. Let the mat bow my head once more, Grant me peace, my Lord, I implore

I walked alone on an unfamiliar path

  I walked alone on an unfamiliar path, not knowing anyone or anything. Some people helped me with what I was doing, while others talked bad about me behind my back. What surprised me the most was that even the people I respected talked disrespectfully about me. It's funny when they talk about loyalty because I still keep secrets about who my real friends and enemies are. I don't like feeling sorry for myself, but I miss the times when we laughed together. I miss the old days, the old books, and everything that's now just memories. One day, I'll tell my story in a beautiful way, starting from the little kid crying in the corner, always helping others but missing out on her own happiness. Nowadays, some people pretend to be close to me when they're not really. And others praise me without really knowing me. It's funny how some people can be so easily fooled.
