THE MIRROR

Ella woke up in the middle of the night or rather was lying awake in intense thoughts and decided to break the warp . Forcefully she pulls herself out of the bed, She doesn't even know why . She isn't hungry or thirty , she is just tired . It's a quite night with a few cars passing by , the cars whooshing through is the only movement she feels and hears. She looks around her room , its very very simple a wardrobe and a bed and it ends there . Slowly she makes her way to the wardrobe , which has a mirror panel. She stood in front of it and stared . Stared at every feature of our body . Just beside the mirror was one of her old photographs. 'Spot the difference' moment was going on . She saw her shoulders hunched , her fingers tying together , her lips fallen straight ,her forehead showing minor signs of wrinkles, her eyes..........................her eyes were tired , tired with thought , tired with life just tired. She tried imitating the smile in the photograph . The smile felt heavy , and not even close. No matter what she did that wide eyed , full teethed smile was hard to replicate , dissapointed , Ella looked down wondering what happened , a tear fell through her eye , and tiredness swept through her . She made her way back to the bed , in tears she found her sleep , in thoughts her dreams .

THE TAX OF HAPPINESS

Happiness a wonderful drug which we are addicted to since birth . At first , life just throws happiness at you , luring you in , getting you addicted and just when you think that yes , i have reached a state of inner peace , life starts asking for tax .  Is the feeling of happiness enough to pay the tax ? what is the tax ? Well, its basically anything that makes you unhappy , from minor inconveniences to major fall throughs ,  All falls in the theory of yin and yang , the balance of life  . Without us realizing  it  life does balance it out . Each moment of happiness is equalized with each moment of pain , so we are kept neutralized .  Maybe life doesn't want anyone to be completely happy . What is complete happiness ? a brief moment which passes by in the blink of an eye. How many times can you handle the balance of life ?how many times can you pay the tax , till you decide not to smile at all?

RUN

I was running I looked around , it was a dimly lit street with sparse traffic I had my earphones on , so i was in my own universe I kept on running , for miles it seemed I am not an athletic person , but something was different today It felt like i was running from something , but couldn't tell what exactly it was Was i running from decisions ? ambition ? love ? commitment ?  With each leap i took I felt the communication with my soul was closing But i didn't stop I wanted to leave my soul behind And run far away My life flashed before me the first day of college , his smile , our first date And then our ridiculous fights , the break up night Suddenly a white light shined over me .. and something hit me i was on the road and then there was complete darkness.... I could feel my body come to absolute rest with excruciating pain......

A GLANCE

She walks by , and his heart skips a beat Her boyfriend comes along , and  the heartache returns  again Then in class, their eyes meet , She saw right through his eyes , his love , his pain At night , she was entangled in her thoughts He was only thinking of her dark purple eyes They didn't know they were bonded Days passed , Conversations started with a simple gesture The day came , When he standing in a black tuxedo And she was in Pearl white silhouette And again there eyes met It was meant to be ! They knew it And all it took was a glance .
