Inside Out

Mumma told me to be polite
Do not shout and do not fight.

Let's spread awareness about Autism.

'But my voice is loud' is what I say
And it's not my fault, I was made this way

I might repeat 'you know' a 100 times.
But that doesn't mean I've committed crimes.

I didn't mean to slam the door so hard
I'm sorry that I made drawings in your yard

I sometimes can't sit quite and still
And move and stop-according to my will.

I write some letters upside down
But I hope you wont understand me a half clown.

I spilled the juice today morning
But I feel bad too just as you are feeling

I may speak in between and out of turn
But I'm just as you, trying to learn

I am a human and so are you
I am just a little out of the blue

I am a copy of what you are about
It's just that I've always been Inside Out!

What happened to truth? Did it go out of style?

Kind of a Story. 

I was born in 2001 as a second child to my parents and soon named Alveera which means the speaker of truth and so ‘truth’ has been very significant in my life. I came to this world not knowing what made it and yet I do not know. As a kid I was taught- Lying is a sin. The story of Pinocchio was repeated several times so much so that I remember each and every tiniest event of that story- beginning from his birth to the time when his nose grew and grew because of his lies.

Lies- I never lied after being told not to. I was that girl who was very little exposed to the true world.

But when I met the truth everything changed.when I met the truth I started to lie. I realized that these rules were meant to be broken. Everyone lied and they said it was cool to lie. Well, let’s admit it I tried it too. Just took a little on my finger then on my tongue and oh! It was delicious and luckily a lot easier to make too. So I started to eat everything coated with lies- pasta with lie sauce and Lie Pie. Just to break the monotony I drank true tea sometimes but that didn’t completely take away the taste I had developed for lies.

When I grew older I felt that lying wasn’t cool anymore, I stopped it, moving along with the trend. That was the time I came to the conclusion that I will never lie even if it anyone else did.But just then I realized I was addicted to lies. I knew that 1 lie meant 5 more and 5 more meant 20 more….and so on. But I couldn’t stop it. It was far more than impossible. Even the ones who taught me that only fools lie were lying now. I thought that we’ll all stop this but we couldn’t because the truth “that we were lying all this time” was too bitter for us to accept it. And If one cant accept the truth how will they speak it?!.But I could. Because I found an exit to this artificial maze. Just by saying “I am a liar’ I became a truthful human.

So here I am carrying the same meaning of my life and my name- truth.

And no- no truth isn’t out of style

it can never be

because all of us at all times

carry a truthful being

along with us

till where our eyes see

Catastrophes

I made mistakes
And so did you
But no one told
We hid it-it's true

Then again we built
Another house of errors
Another room of problems
Compressed with 'god's' terror

We would rewind and replay
The same cassette
Until everything we did
Became a real threat

And now there are 101 arrows of sin
Hanging from our souls
But even healing it
Won't ever fill the holes

Picture Perfect

I do not know what to classify this into but I speak it in a way that it seems like slam poetry. So I'll call this slam poetry :)

..Mistakes of today's technologically advanced world..

My heart has inclined exactly 43°, towards where he stood and my mind, my mind processes too many images of him.
To be precise 6839 of only him. 362 of him with other people but not a single one with me.
Why can't my lenses reflect me on my own retina ? Just for once,once when I am with him.
It was a miracle, my wishes were granted and my hopes were high. But my memory,it said, 'there's no space in your memory card' I repeat there's no space in my 16gb memory card.
Oh! I had to to lose that chip
and find another one before I lost this exceptional clip of me and him standing side by side
But it was too late.
My camera tilted 43° exact and my memory processed too many images of him and didn't have any space, not even for me.
And the only space I could find later was guilty
