[225] Modern Living
![[225] Modern Living](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/img_1781.jpg?w=750)

[224] Kissing Memories
![[224] Kissing Memories](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/224.jpg?w=768)

[220] FEAR
![[220] FEAR](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/111.jpg?w=564)
It all originates from fear Fear of being proven wrong Fear of watching your neatly built up world crumble into fiery lava from the volcano of suppression Fear of being just another brick in the wall when you dreamed of bigger things forgetting that the only thing people have in common with you is the…

Her I can see you in the clouds i made to forget you I should talk a little loud To drown out all your chilly voices I should live my little life in summer than come inside your mind to get you Him I want a way out of my mind My thoughts become a…

![[209] beautiful things don’t ask for attention](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/img_0504.jpg?w=1024)
Distorted voices play in reverse The sound of my waking comes in the form of a storm outside Is it morning or is it night? I can’t figure it out My brain’s got me pinned down Disorientation of my waking extends throughout the day and melts into the night of my irregular beating heart Who…

![[208] The Tale of an Imposter](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/img_0033.jpg?w=1024)
An imposter writes while looking over his shoulder His mind mindful of what’s left and not of what’s right The moon he sees hides only for him so he writes through someone else’s eyes A nagging in his brain remains that tells him he is just a reflection of a shadow that fades

[201] Moon River
![[201] Moon River](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/img_9472.jpg?w=1024)
