Illuminate Lives

 The beauty goes unnoticed, of silence and of peace. I keep gulping the poison, of words I do not speak.   I witness the evil, I hear that too. And I unhear the shrieks and screams, of chaos within my soul.   I silence what is sacred, for the sake of survival. I silence what is venomous, for the sake of goodwill.   And I often battle with myself! Could a war be waged, or anger poured out, or burning tears assuaged? But then, I silence the chaos, the words too silenced. Neither an emotion is hurt, nor a soul avenged. And if silence is the sword, eyes and ears shall bleed The mercy of truth, shall the souls plead. VEDIKA

Let your scars shine, brighter than the wounds that engraved them. Let your fears become the ladder, over which you climb and choose to breathe. Let your heart bleed, until it’s done hurting from the pain. Let your soul rebel, what’s not pure and indecent. Let your feet stumble through paths of perfection, show that imperfection is sacred. Let your fate surrender to what is destined, while your blood serves the ink. Let your truth scream through your silence, in this intense vacuum. Let the sky witness, who can bear the storms barely by the spirit. Let the waters notice your depth, and want to fathom what you behold Let the wind feel small, with your force and your grip. Let the sun feel dimmer when you appear, leaving the darkness behind. Let the world see what stays, when humanity ends. Let you live, till you breathe and your heart beats. VEDIKA
