VENOM

 With smiles and concerns, is how they initiate

Act like the best mates

Making you forget the stories of snakes


You don't realise the trick

Throughout, you were being served arsenic

By people deranged and sick


They make you question each activity you partake

Label everything you do as inappropriate 

Exaggerate trivial mishaps and castigate 


Assume that they know you a lot

And label you a snot

The reasons only they know of their plot


They thrive on the sadistic delight

Of your plight

Jinx your happiness with all their might


Introspection is what they know not

Carry derision, everywhere they trot

Which is why, yet not corpses still they rot.

Reverie

 'It is all fine' at the tip of her tongue when all she feels inside is numb, to pour so much, that she's left empty if only, someone filled her as deftly, It aches too much to confess this pain for somebody to address, To be the dragonslayer, saving them all the one with the sword too needs healing after all, Put up a smile, light their world's so bright when her has crumbled with all its might, She wishes somebody like her in her life Who listens intently, probes out her strife, Being the one initiating to make amends question of her importance significantly ascends, Yet again, she wishes to run and make things right But, if only they too tried?

NASTASYA FILIPINOVA

  "Sometime in the afternoon, I started to read Pages through pages, my eyes tread She lived a life, everyone would dread Never bent her spine, I commend Holding my breath, I wanted her pain to end Watching her struggle Her hope getting crumpled, People misusing her, left-right, and center I saw self-loathing become her epicenter,  Half past the book, I saw no respite To the constant strife She's faced in her life Still holding the hope intact I waited for things to rightly act,  Closed the book to start reading afresh Wasn't ready for what happened next Her pain ended when she took the final breath She's still dead, I rechecked time hundredth I sat there in awe, what have I witnessed Sometime later, the sun came up And reality set in Had she not died, I wouldn't be sitting to write For ending her struggles and strife That life has more to offer, than a butcher's knife However, some souls do need to die For authors to make characters immortalize"
