Yeah, we wish things were better but always grateful for they could have been worse.

Goodbye to 2021 and happy new year 2022....#endofdec#happynewyear #writersbay #wods @writersnetwork @writersbay @miraquill
@writersofmirakeeAt the edge of the cliff we stand
With hearts full of gratitude
That we survived it so far
Some grateful for a fruitful year
And some grateful to the end of a nightmare
To some it was an year of redefinition
Redefining ourselves
Our core values and beliefs
Redefining what we thought was right
And that which we held dear thinking it defined our true identity
But we are grateful
Grateful for an year where we met
the most broken versions of ourselves
With pieces of our real selves broken and strewn around
Our hearts aching and bleeding
Our patience tested to the limit
Our strengths doubted
Our conscience guilty
And our values left questionable
Grateful...
We met the realest versions of ourselves
That we didn't break from all the pressure
That we still made out of it all
Maybe not with all the pieces intact
But nonetheless alive and ready to keep on fighting
They say the end of something
Is the start of another
So let's face the new year with our heads held high
Our fists clenched
Our paths redefined
And our goals set
Ready to fight for what we want
What we hold dear in our hearts
And to be the best versions of ourselves.

Dreams aren't what just blows upon your head
Dreams aren't a sleep pill to pet you to sleep
Dreams aren't to be enjoyed
Dreams aren't to be hallucinated
Dream is meant to be what you are tomorrow
Dream is not meant to make you fly high
Real dream is when it fucks off your sleep and makes you struggle for Life

I's have to do
I am changing and breaking my shell
I am stopping the inevitable bcoz i know i'll fell
fell on my kness or maybe flat on floor
my cheeks dampened and my mouth sour
i don't want to repeat my mistakes again
i don't want a whirlwind of vehemence and pain again
its not that i am afraid
its because i know who will heavily be paid
I know my rebellion will cause a whole lot of problems
but i know i have my all principles and emblems
for once i am gonna be a selfish person
for only once i am gonna take a single sided decision
I know it will hurt them N'd maybe broke them too
but i know i have to because i'd have to do too
i know what they will think
but i know i have to do it before i blink
i know it will break my link
i know it will kinda sink
i 've realised they are some genuine true friends
but i know even years of childhood friendship has their ends...

#daysofdecember_mw----°•◇December
Wind blows,
Bringing back the memories of yestermonths,
Some happy and cheerful,
Some dark and regretful;
Nostalgic nonetheless.
Dawn breaks,
Gone the early days and long nights,
Stars keep company for long;
Foggy mornings with gray winter light,
December arrived.
Dusk falls,
Dust covers the dead days,
Tears burn the bridge of ways;
Every night, the feelings unsettle
And each day becomes more peaceful.
Night dies,
Awaken from the frosty dream,
A barren land awaits,
Bereft of everything; it's cold.
In silence, I feel the chaos.
//and now, I've grown used to the momentary sereneness of things//
~nothing lasts forever...not even the winter in me which froze the cacophony.

©nriteshrajPhoto By Zurem Meru on Unsplash7 0Erase them
memories all coming down the lane
its happening as if i am watching from a window pane
these are what today made me insane
all the time questioning myself me being even sane
flashbacks of each and every chapter surrounding me all around
like earth is rotating in full speed but i am stuck at a point in the ground
those all harsh memories brings my insufferable pain back
it was all stored in a part of my mind in a sack
after remembering them tears are streaming down my face
i can control them but i don't want to , that's the case
i am crying like crazy
tears are so much that my vision is hazy
i am screaming and begging god to get me out of there
i don't know how but to make me free of this sphere
those actions , hate , fakeness towards me
those memories still gives me goosebumps u see
i am not crying but tears are continously flowing
i am trying to overcome the waves of my past by rowing
i have already move on from my past
but i guess they are still on my mind at last
those wounds still are there on my heart , soul nd mind
there scars are always gonna make me bind
in every sense i have punished them
but those memories of past.....can i please erase them??

This is not the reality right? Tell me is all dream, yesterday I was just holding you and kissing your forehead but now you're gone. We do not know how to start, you're the person that taught us to be strong, I know time will come and death will knock at the door but we never expected to be this soon. I love you mommy, rest in peace we love you!

I was so excited to write for this challenge yet this is what it turned out to be.
My mom (not biological mom leave us ) so i do not know what so good in this new yearDecember Gloom
I feel dry to write
My gut tell something isn't right
Maybe everything that end— I fright
I know I'm not a person who's bright
And that what I always forthright
But I never expected this happening
I hated goodbye and ending
This is the unruled parting
I fed up with grief and regretting
When you leave us — it's devastating
This house that feels home
Became quite as doom
Your hair, smile, moods, call
Love, laugh, care and overall
Mark in my heart forever more
~ I wish we live in the photographs so that time will freeze in each moment~

Cut into pieces
It was the start of July ,me vaining in pain
All the way around getting drugs in gain
May be by 12 in the night turning on the main
I couldn't define anyone my pain
Medico mistaken all my reports as bin
Hopefully deity gave a sunshine
Found it was a stone in gall of mine
The surgery started and ended in plain
Me after days putting on shirts icecream stain

कामयाब होने से पहले इश्क़ कर लिया।

The month of my birth,
It should have been a great month.
Alas, it was not,
It became the month I lost all semblance of freedom.
Culture swooped in like carrion birds,
Pecking and destroying the once courageous soul.
My free will was padlocked in chains,
And my voice and expressions were unheard.
The manipulators accused me of manipulation,
They forgot the example was set by them.
August will now be the month of absolute sorrow,
I pray for this nightmare to end.

©nriteshrajPhoto By modern affliction on Unsplash6 0the ending.
stuck in the lights,
dancing in the darkness.
life's a sweet lie.
stars are many,
twinkles in eyes are rare.
I wish I could alter the satire.
zig-zag,
tick-tock,
time slips like sand.
as I stare at my empty hands.
beautiful and serene.
the cold hearts hold warmth they don't mean.
joyous smiles
hide the pains that can't be seen.
wasting, withering, watering, blooming
sowing, reaping, life's a cycle moving.
no directions to the stories ending.
no begining to the things unfolding.
life's a cycle moving.

- de_inquisitive the cold hearts hold warmth they dont mean
I have doubts with all sorts of things
However I rather not think of them
For they are like predators in my heart
Those tiny little demons deep in me
Waiting to devour me when I'm weak
But even dams in rivers
After a bout of great storm
Overflows in the seams
Like that, these deep dark thoughts
Overwhelms me and can't be stopped.
My eyes, like faulty faucets
Continued to drop tears
Over and over
Crying till my eyes are dry
I've once thought, 'I'll never regret.'
And yes, I didn't, however...
Moments of vulnerability, I can't help it
I wonder if I did a different choice
From what I have made back then
The what ifs consume me, fully
Then my mind drifted to another place
A place where, maybe, what would have been
But as I cry to myself
Weeping to sleep
I woke up feeling more refreshed
Sometimes I doubt,
then I hold myself back
But crying, shouting
Yelling, and everything
Maybe there's comfort
In just letting things be
©zhayden6 0 1September
Oh September, weren't you a storm
Wouldn't you decieve me into darkness
Wouldn't you have me weakened at my heart
Wouldn't you look at me with Shame, pity and awe
With mercy, giggling at my face.
Wouldn't you have your skies dawned so beautifully
I had to hate myself.
Wouldn't you just shake me to my core
Tell me where I didn't belong
Oh September, you rained when I drowned
You cherished when I frowned.
When it was inevitable to run away from your charms,
You had me gasping for air, for a ground
You even had me Begging, As food ran out.
Oh September, i survived you
Still, weren't you a storm?

#stories you read ,
Plead to be a seed ,
Of new flora that lead
to the emergence of a creed
Overflowing with twinkles of my greed
That craves for your love , and you , endlessly in need
September had been perfectly pristine
With a festive that promises to continue
The shower of yellow pollens and pink tulips
Stories doesn't urge for dark or blues band of ink
They'll turn sweet if you'll stir love in the liquid life
And I won't let them to be casted in a shade of grey , cause my stories are coloured in hues of you .
We're like the pigments of flowers ,
We take birth , we bloom , and shape the scents
it's upto you , wait for the plucker to smell diversity and feel profoundness , by sacrificing in quartz jar
Or remain connected with impeccable characters of story , counting on you for the aroma they lost ago .
Poetries aren't devoted to ornaments
They live with affectionate expressions , their owner frames , unlike slaves , but like soulmate
At the beginning of Jan and at the #endofdec .September's decency for me.

October
Who could have predicted it?
We were completely taken aback by the news
We couldn't even lable it as good or bad
It was a nightmare anyone could wish to wake up from
The month of October on the 7th
The appalling news dropped in my ears
Considered as the month of refreshment, rebirth and fertility
A complete opposite it was to me
Still engraved in my heart
The entire month was a series of sleepless nights
Thoughts running through my head
The question was why? Still left unanswered.

May
Summer arrived this year
With a bang and brought with it the lockdown
A month that usually cheers me up
Made my smile turn into a frown
While sweet lichees and ripe mangoes
Flooded the markets downtown
In my books and poesies I was lost
In them my sorrows I drowned
Unable to go out and like all the others
I was stuck inside the confines of my house
From a roaring lion roaming the streets
Reduced to being a petty door mouse
Moping around all day I spent the month
Unwilling to do anything but grouse
Folk around me lost dear ones and
Some even lost their spouse
One would think that May would lift my spirits
As it had done for so many years
Instead I saw death from not so far away
And came to face to face with my fears
How could I help, do something of value
Why life couldn’t simply shift gears ?
Why is life so fickle and indefinite I wondered
Sometimes in words, sometimes in tears
Unable to keep up with the rapid loss
I went from feeling bad to being depressed
All that I had feared for years was losing loved ones
And this brought up fears I had repressed
I wish Covid was a person I could kill
With my bare hands it I would’ve suppressed
And saved so many from heartbreak
And the burden of being alone and hence stressed
The month of uncertainty came and went
I hardly noticed the flowers that grew
Losing close friends and relatives to disease
Left me feeling rather sore and blue
There was no work to be done to distract oneself
The world felt topsy turvy and askew
I was glad to see summer go for the first time ever
So that we could face rainy June anew

Rahnuma in urdu means a guide.
#december is that rahnuma who teaches us to dive to depth and rise up with the same energy.
(Here "it" means December)
You're the sweetest. Thankyou so much @writersnetwork
#endofdecRAHNUMA
December- A profound epilogue 'tis
that paints a breathtaking transformation
on the landscapes of closure.
When days sweep through it,
it stands on the edge
and against the time.
Its bones are left cold
and flesh frost
as it kisses the rays
of a new beginning.
Then it goes dormant,
dormant under the dark-mauve
cherry blossoms of the spring,
dormant betwixt the scents
of those barbecues cooked
under the blue skies of summer,
dormant in the soul
of the pied cuckoo that
brings monsoon in folklore,
dormant in the mists of
the darkening nights of autumn.
Remaining dormant
for eleven months
it dives through
the salinity of oceans
and the alchemy of sands
to take a rebirth in the core
of a glassy snowflake.
