In English, we say, β€œI wish I could be a child again.” But in poetry, we say, "Take me back to the days when I held crayons instead of responsibilities, when I truly believed the world was kind and sleep came without any fight. Take me to those evenings when the sky felt light and my own laughter was louder than the thoughts in my mind. Let me return to the version of myself who ran without fear, trusted without shaking, and dreamed without limits the version I keep looking for as I grow up". 🩡🀍

How beautiful and how terrifying that night was. The silence felt like it was listening, but I knew it wasn’t. I spoke anyway. I told words to the air, because if I had held them inside any longer, they would have rotted me from within. I remembered what we said that evening. That if I lost you, I would never find anyone again. I said it as if I were predicting my own fate. You laughed, maybe you dismissed it, but see how right I was. There was no one. There had never been anyone. It was always me. I walked alone before you, I walked alone after you. And that emptiness, that constant reminder that no one looked after me, sat in my chest like a stone I could not move. You, though you were always going to have choices. People waiting to comfort you, to hold you, to tell you that you were still loved. And I wanted that for you, I wanted you to be surrounded by hands that tried to do what mine once did. Maybe some hands did even more. Maybe they already had. And then I saw you. Stable. Laughing again. You had returned to life, to the light of people who cared, who called you, who thought of you in the morning. And I was there, a year later, still pacing the same dark corridors of my head. It wasn’t jealousy, no. It was the sharp edge of truth. That I had been right when I said it. That for me there was no one. That the world did not come forward to cradle me when I was falling. The world let me break quietly, without ceremony. So I sat with that night. I told it the story of how someone could vanish from another’s life and return to their own laughter as though nothing had happened. And how someone else, stayed in the same place, still carrying the weight of a promise spoken in half-light, still haunted by the sound of my own voice saying: if I lost you, I would never find anyone. And the night did not answer. It only listened, or pretended to, and held me there in its hollow silence. - Shivam

Salt Fed the Crown It was summer heat forged skin into molten chains, wounds blistered like slow-burning pyres, even the wind tasted of sweat, salt, and the metallic scream of flesh igniting bodies torched beneath fractured crowns, buried in ash-dark soil. They never wiped salt from our plates claimed it sharpened flavor. But never from our torn flesh. They let it fester, watched the burn bubble beneath the scorching sun. Half hung like gutted carcasses, half knelt, crushed beneath invisible iron. Whole only in agony’s cold grip. They cleaved us apart, called the shards manageable. β€œSalt it well,” they hissed. Brown flesh wears bitterness like armor. Brown skin bleeds silent fury. We were feasts laid on slabs of pain, wrapped in death’s hush, garnished with cracked bones and surrender. They feasted swallowed our broken bodies whole. Fed empires with our collapse. Drank our screams like venom. Centuries steeped in blood and cruelty and still, they licked the marrow clean. Why spare salt when souls were already shackled, branded, auctioned on silver hooks at a banquet that swallowed forever? We weren’t rebels we were bleeding wounds, raw and raging. They were ravenous beasts. Salt not seasoning, but scourge and torture. Rub it deep. Tear open screaming mouths. Pull tongues till secrets bleed red. They wanted no truth. Only surrender shattered, shattered surrender. Men on knees, women fracturing, mothers wailing names of sons ripped apart, saltedβ€” never whole, only remnants. When asked about freedom, we taste wounds- salted, sharpened, weaponized against us. Bullets were luxury. Salt, ropes, dark cells the stench of burnt skin, death’s choking breath. Dead wounded bodies drowned in saltwater, eyes hollowed, mouths sewn shut. Even oceans rejected them even death was salted. Was it not enough to tear us alive? Why rot us in brine? Why pour salt on wounds long dead, hollowed out? They never begged not when salt made them convulse, not when flesh peeled away, not when the Crown leaned close and spat, β€œSpeak, dog.” Now they wear crowns in our hearts beyond flags, beyond empires, beyond death. You, Empire your crown rots, encrusted in salt and shame, You taxed what fed us. Seasoned pain, marinated your legacy in grief still couldn't swallow us whole. We marched salt grinding like grit in wounds, salt scarring marrow-deep. We shattered your laws with grains our defiance cracked stone and shore. And still we ask: how did we taste? How did you feast on dog flesh, how did you feed your hunger? And the sun sank a corpse bleeding out in the sky, and summer whispered back its merciless return. - Achu B & @I_Krystel (@Krystell_3)
