These voices inside me
Do not whisper anymore
They shout and say
You are Fucked up!
The noises echoing inside
Don’t let the tired eyes
To fall asleep
To dream of it, again.
“Get yourself out of it”
My mind constantly
Pushing me to the edge.
“Hold on to it.”
The heart continues
In perseverance.
“Get into your zone”
The voice speaks loud
Alarming me of unseen
Selfishness of the world
Leaving you with Nothing
But a Fucked up life!
“This heart of yours, dear
Is totally Fucked up.”
My mind contemplates
In a never ending war
Of heart and mind
Of emotions and reality
Of mine and their purposes
Of everything and nothing.
I’m afraid to wake up
To find myself in a
Fucked up situation
Where there’s no road
To walk on
Where there’s no light
To look through
Where there’s no hope
To believe in.
My eyes gets heavy
My hands inked
In mess they both make
In their war
Unheard and unknown
To the world
The one that is actually
Fucked up!
-Kritika Vashist
(Sometimes you are just Fucked up!)
I think we call that letting it fly! Love the twist in the last line. F’d up in an F’d up world. Seems easy to get in that condition and hard to get out.

I second that. I literally drew diagrams to know where I am presently and how can I get out of it. *Sigh*

The reading part is always my pleasure, Kritika. Don’t despair. What makes us really smart is how we figure out how to un-f**K ourselves. Smile often. It keeps everyone guessing.

I am good now. Guess, the road is not always smooth, you get hit by few bumps in the road, but you learn to stand up, confidently and yes, smile. Well, I am not a pessimist. Maybe I needed to bitch about how miserable is life sometimes. I am good now. Thank you 🙂

If the voices inside you do not whisper anymore. You should not feel the very same like you say ‘Fucked up!’. There are times when we need to reflect and understand the things that are going around us. We get what we want? But that may be different from our own plan.
So just wait patiently and welcome this conflicting situation of your life. The moment you accept the reality that would be the first step to come out of that impasse. Hope this idea would work for you. So welcome it and face it as you have faced the phase of harmony in your
“heart and mind
emotions and reality
and Of everything.”
I read few lines yesterday in Hindi, “”इंसान की ख़्वाहिशात बिल्कुल बुलबुलों की मानिंद होती हैं, जो मालूम नहीं क्यों पैदा होते हैं और क्यों फटककर हवा में खो जाते हैं।”

Thank you for your insight, Virjesh. I motivate myself in such situations with introspection, but it is okay to vent out your frustration. You should let your anger out from your system and writing it down doesn’t harm anyone, right?

I’m not familiar with that expression, I’d take it as a yes.
Before I tell you how, I’d let you know that I do not abuse and don’t use abusive language. This friend of mine used this word so many times whenever she was with me that I couldn’t get it out of my mind. I’d say that she kind of introduced me to the usage of the word. This word expresses anger, frustration, excitement (oh, I’m so fucking happy) and everything in between. I use it often when I do a mistake, especially while writing an exam. DOH!

DOH! is a catch word on the Simpsons cartoon parody. It means ” I cannot believe it was so simple!’ Many people here use the word “fuck” as a derisive figure of speech, but the base of the word means sexual intercourse.

Oh, I see!
I am aware of that meaning. We are young people and get influenced easily. If you tell me/ advise me to not use it, I won’t except during exams, when nobody hears me.
