[260] I think I know it all
![[260] I think I know it all](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/39324-260.jpg?w=1024)
A clean slate of self-discovery A push is needed to find all my checkpoints again Knowledge has become amnesic in the pursuit I can only hold so much in the little head that’s left Smoke alarm whirring in my airy bones Intoxications only resolve to bring back lost energy All that comes back is the…

[258] Finding My Voice
![[258] Finding My Voice](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/9f0d6-257-3257044821-1566640852395.jpg?w=1023)
Empty threats to myself I’m thinking more and wondering less She is in love with the part of me I hate Let me be anywhere but the present Let me remove myself and erode the brittle past Solace in all the self-pity you seem to read and enjoy Dangling on a thread shaped like a…

[257] Discriminating Cycles
![[257] Discriminating Cycles](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/bdc7a-img_5017.jpg?w=633)
Time is the greatest discriminator For some there’s less For some there’s more For some it’s omnipresent For some it’s invisible There are moments you feel where you’re not the happiest but the most content You realise you don’t know the time then but then the desire to know it arises and your eyes waver…

[255] Distractions of Today
![[255] Distractions of Today](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/9a224-253.jpg?w=780)
Plague my mind with mysteries that offer no delight Call me out on all the ignorant vices I keep to keep my sense of self Attention deficit Distracted feelings Overwhelming Living I think of all the simple things that we’re losing out I fall before I jump I speak before I think out loud to…

[251] An Old Night
![[251] An Old Night](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/img_1693.jpg?w=768)
Confessing numbness Caressing depression I’ve forgot to look in the right places Forgotten dreams of a mighty dynasty I live in abeyance Like a lonely sun No visible illness so you deny my right to feel I deny my right to bleed I lie down in hopes I’ll rise again A sharp thought flows through…

[248] Broken Skies

The broken sky and its false promises of respite that some call rain while some wait for it to be called a storm A diversion from the tedious blue that only helps harshness to brittle our sheltered bones It breaks my little heart to acknowledge the void of you I was alright till now I…

[247] A Calm Nightmare
![[247] A Calm Nightmare](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/247-e1560695084674.jpg?w=800)
Personalities mixing up to cause rainbows in a storm I touch one colour to really want another Never understanding a disguise entirely I borrow another to just carry on looking up The afterglow of constellations in your eyes carry themselves into my emotional identity I feel half of what you felt Half of what there…

[245] The Forgetfulness Of Today
![[245] The Forgetfulness Of Today](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/245.jpg?w=600)
Last day of college Stirring emotions inside; pouring rain outside Awareness of where we’ve come with a melancholic smile Thinking about how we’ve arrived here; why is melancholy right here? We’re witnessing the birth of nostalgia Heaviness moves with us now Shoulders drooped a little Weary eyes looking at our feet We feel removed from…

[243] Control
![[243] Control](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/img_1454-e1510032036963.jpg?w=750)
I’m a believer in anything but me In need for some time out of my mind Seeing sullen shadows even when it’s dark How much can I fight for so long with so little time left by my side? Denigration or adulation My self-worth is pulled to both extremes The audience claps away the little…

[242] The Generation of Change
![[242] The Generation of Change](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/174-e1532975976191.jpg?w=1024)
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…
Smoke words every day.
