Do you know,
how exhausting it is?

You always be the one who others want you to be. You try to keep them happy. Not everyone always wants to listen to your rant all the time. But what if that’s who you are? What if, you’re just a morose soul, who just can’t stay happy for long, no matter how hard you try. So eventually, you stop telling people how you feel, because even though they never say they don’t want to listen how sad your life is, their eyes tells everything. So you, stop venting. You become a new person every time you meet someone. You pretend to be happy, hoping one day you’ll forget that you’re pretending. Then you come back home and look into the mirror, and see, how lonely you are. All these people around you, and the truth is some of them actually do care about you, yet you feel hollow and incomplete inside. Then you force yourself to sleep, only to wake up the next day to be that someone whom you’re not, because that’s how life works. It’s easy to tell “don’t be sad” “everything will be fine eventually”, but the truth is, for some people, it’ll never be fine. That “eventually” will never come.

Do you know,
how exhausting it is,
to live?

But you’ve got to live,
because your maa didn’t
raise a coward, a quitter.
You’ve got to live.
You’ve got to fight.

I get it.
You really loved
that person.
But that person
was toxic for you.
So you had to
let that person go.

Sometimes,
we need to push
away the people
we love, because
of their toxic nature.

Sometimes,
we need to hurt
ourselves a bit,
in order to live
a better life.

इस अजनबी से शहर में,
इस अजनबी का सफ़र।

ना तुझे मेरी ख़बर,
ना मुझे तेरी ख़बर।
