Outcastes



I all alone beweep my outcast state
And trouble deaf Heaven with my bootless cries-Shakespeare

Few days back an old friend of mine called me up. We lost connection long back but somehow she got my number. We talked a couple of minutes and decided to meet-up. There's a thing about old friends you can just dump all your F^*k n S*%t and feel light. Damn she was in bad state and the moment I saw her I knew that something was wrong, Long story short, she was living a life of an outcast in her own house and that made me think ............ that   

Do we need to be on an uninhabited island or in some scary jungle or jail to feel like an outcast ??
Nah, rather you can get that feeling sitting in your own room and I guess that feeling is more awful than the previous ones. Damned in your own heaven, among  your own people... who says you need to die to go to Hell... Hell is right here and you are burning right there in that corner and there's nothing you can do about it.
It's like people around you talking in some ancient language. Like they all share a past, a past with no mark of you. For them you are something of a queer type and all that comes out of your mouth is nothing but fiddle-faddle of your own making. There's no way you can convince them and no way they see what you see. Bounded by the chains of colored judgments their minds are clouded and blocked and you are pinned down, secluded in your mind you are there but not around. But, you hope for things to change and smetimes they do

Mortals around her wonder
how can she ever feel like
some burning wood
in a middle of a room
others feeling warm
but she's aflamed, feeling
not worth a darn

pent up emotions
looking for a leak
to breathe some air
not to cease and appease
people talking, walking
snooping all around in
slow-motion and silent sounds

Clock ticks in her room
she peers back at it
move fast you prick, she raves
little bird in her wanna go out
she hopes to imbibe the talents
people outside have, she flew
but her clipped wings gave out

She's waiting for a morning
when sun will rise like never before
in bits n pieces she is garnering
gallant and galore
she's too tough for that clipped bird
in her heart, she's recuperating
every minute, every hour

Did you ever felt like an outcast ??
I did, many times... 
I am the outcast come home to roost and the eggs of tomorrow are incubating in my fame. You hate me, you love me, you made me, and now I am in you. I am like that disease brewing in your loins and I think you like it…”

Face in the Crowd


The moment you step out of your home, you are nothing, but a tiny part of CROWD or more apt word PUBLIC. Unrelated bunch of people moving together in train, in bus, on road.... in shops and so on. Millions of lives crossing each other, without leaving a trace. Thousands of faces we see everyday..... nobody bothers to remember or think about people we don't know. 
But, sometimes there are few faces in crowd you can never forget. 



I saw that face, 
as I was walking 
on the road. Something, 
was gravely wrong. I doubt. 
A man was crying his heart out. 
What was wrong ? 
I had no clue. 
But, no one to console him, 
that was weird too. 




At that moment. 
that Face made me think. 
How he ended up,
at this state of brink.
In such a crowded place, 
He was standing alone. 
Like an used blade.
Lying in a man's salon.


 
His face, projecting. 
Stacks of mistakes. 
Like a painting of, 
Struggles and attacks.
Who knows ??
How many more are yet to happen. 
To shake that man, 
Who is already, so badly shaken.

Then, I moved forward 
got engrossed in what I was
doing before. 
Same old, Same old
Daily dose of chores. 
A routine fight to 
maintain, highly coveted
reputation n decor.

Now, When I roam around. 
I am startled to found. 
So many, similar faces. 
With different stories and
different grounds. 
What's common was
just the pain, pain profound.
