We are a blank slate generation with electric appetite for honesty Self conscious insecurity Extroverted brutality We come with no baggage of history only a disconnect with reality Imagination is stretched afar We wish we were born in a different age To breathe life into our sweet nothings We wish you were born in a…

![[240] The Man Who Was Always Right](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/img_1725.jpg)
There was a man who was always right He closed his eyes to see the world in its entirety He breathed in darkness so reality could never disturb him And it never did. There was an open field in front of him but he sat on his spot unfazed His zen head cut through the…

Realities stack on top of each other warning me of my feeble head Fed by the system of mistakes I try to hold on to another identity to hold me together for a while again Imagine leaves stuck in stillness somewhere between green and the wilt of a brown so much so that the moment…
