P1: Discovery- the search for contentment.

the search for contentment.

the blithe streets 

seemed to be filled with gore,

unholiness,

deception,

and lust.

stepping out of one’s comfort,

transcending into a new dimension,

controlled by the uncontrollable.

in this indefinite world

congruency ceases to exist,

attaining balance is impossible.

overwhelmed by the violence in one’s everyday lives,

mentally or physically,

always fighting a battle.

in search for contentment yet consumed by greed.

powered by instinct, not logic.

undefinable actions.

in support of a damage and an unjust world,

this rampage continues forever.

P1: Discovery- my mind.

my mind.

filthy,

flooded with debris,

an endless ocean,

with no guide.

lost.

unable to swim,

i drown

as i gasp and choke.

submerged,

i open my eyes.

the endless depth below me leers,

slowly hypnotizing me.

the darkness asks for permission to be let in.

NO. STOP.

regaining consciousness 

i crave the ecstasy,

wishing to return to my euphoric state of mind.

believing in the idea to achieve eternal bliss.

REBELLION.

fighting my war,

searching for the surface,

i persevere.

i am the conquerer of my mind.

P1: Discovery- the storm.

the storm.

birds wail for asylum,

dogs scream and shout,

bees charge to their hive,

hoping to preserve life before the storm arrives. 

destruction;

potential termination of life

has commenced its arrival.

praying for another day,

the degree of uncertainty remains.

living beings torn from their comfort,

survival of the fittest is put to test.

the weak beg for forgiveness

yet the strong power shows no mercy.

servants to nature,

they obey and learn to endure their fate.

accepting the end,

in search of a new beginning.

-Aishi Nayar
