Long days and longer nights, She almost forgot what life beyond home felt like, Curled up on her cosy blanket, She spent half of February like that,  Numb with unending thoughts of 'what ifs', She gave up too soon on herself... But today as she got up and faced her mirror,  And another tear crawled up her cheek,  There was a smile too that reminded her,  That giving up was meant for the weak... She dressed up, wore a new sweatshirt and changed her hand bag to a sling bag,  Wore her favourite make up and perfume, clicked pictures of herself and went out,  She could take a bus for free but she spoiled herself a little by taking a cab,  On the way she reminded herself about all those people who she couldn't live without, Those people who credit her with their happiness and success,  Those people who call her their inspiration and nothing less... And everything changed.  - Medhavi  Feb 18, 2023  . . . . #Bl

Aadhi adhoori si  yeh ek daastaan hai,  Tumhari ho kar bhi na hun haasil, Aur tum meri na ban sakte ho kabhi manzil... Tumhe dekh sakti hun, maang sakti hun, Par tumse koi ummeed nahin rakhi jaati mujhse ab, Tumse mil sakti hun, kabhi choo sakti hun, Par haath thaamne ki himmat bhi toot gayi ab... Mohabbat bhi ajab bewakoofi ki cheez hai,  Insaan khud ko paagal bante dekhta bhi hai, Aur banaata bhi hai, Khud khud par zor zor se hansta bhi hai, Sharmindaa hota bhi hai, Par phir ussi ek nazar ka kaayal, Khud ko banane uske kaabil, Nikal paddta hai phir ussi raah par, Har manmaani sehne ko, Hoti hai bahut baddi museebat yeh galtiyaan, Mohabaat keh dete hain kehne ko...

When did you stop dreaming ?  When did your colors started to fade ?  When did you stop liking what you saw in the mirror ?  When did you stop believing that happiness is self made ?  Was it the day someone couldn't understand how you felt, so they told you that you're losing your mind ?  Or the day when someone chose someone else over you, just because they disappointed you and didn't have the patience to keep trying to win you back ?  Was it the day your parents / friends told you that by this age you should be done with this and you're still stuck ?  Or the day when your friends cut you off because you weren't of any use to them in future ?  Was it the day when someone you love told you that you're jealous of their success ?  Or the day they told you that you control and manipulate them while you were just trying to advise ?  I know, not just one, but many people broke you, over and over and now all you feel is this heaviness and numb...

The sun couldn't enter my dark soul today,  I stood there, tanning my skin, drying my hair and soaking myself in the empties of my thoughts... The wind kept blowing,  And my hair became frizzy,  My heart was drenching,  But my eyes weren't teary... I zoned out multiple times, But I stood there, still & quiet,   My body kept reminding me,  Hydrate, rest, move,  But my heart kept yelling,  Vent, cry, share... And as someone entered the room,  I turned back with a wide smile,  And pretended that everything was good,  When asked, I said, I'm all fine,  Zoned out and confused from within,  I found myself motivating someone else,  And suddenly I woke up from my emotional slumber,  To realise that I was in a gathering of friends... I gulped down a few glasses of white wine,  Felt the wind in my hair at the 9th floor of a building high rise,  And looked around to absorb the night,  And told myself...

Na jaane woh kaun sa pal tha, Jab woh mujhse bewaffa ho gaya, Kuch likhe huye lafz hi padhe thhe, Laga jaise dil ka har hissa chhil gaya... - Medhavi 30.01.23

// Baras //  . . Tumse baat hi toh huyi thi bas, Phir na jaane aise kyun hua,  Aayeene ne mere aaj mujhe yun dekha, Jaise itne baras guzre hi nahin.... - Medhavi . . . . #Poetry #Aesthetic #Relatable #AfterBreakUp  #HindiShayari #SadShayari #Shayari #Baras #PoetryCommunity #PoetryGram

Chaai ki chuskiyon ki aawaazon mein,  Aur cigarette ke dhuyein mein gum kuch lafzon mein,  Khwaab pirote hain hum Kal ke,  Yun hi dhoop chaanv mein baithe baithe... Kabhi nikal jaate hain sadkon par,  Bin raah, bin manzil jaane,  Kuch is kadar bunte Hain kaarwaan Zindagi ka,  Khud ek dusre par hum tum hanste hanste.... Yaari ya yaaraana, yeh dosti ka afsaana,  Mausamon mein kho jaane wala ek lafz ka kohra,  Murjhaate waqt ko panaah deta,  Ummeedon ka gulistaan... Puraani tasveeron par jami yaadon jaisa ek taraana,  Dhaagon se baandhte hum tum is dosti ka yeh naghma... . . . .
