Faceless, nameless crowds,

Silenced the whispers 

That threatened to shatter the cacophony. 

What was heard was unheard

What was seen was unseen

The burden is meant for one to bear.

What a fool to believe,

The goodness, the goodness,

It’s a lie that lives in fairy tales.




Sometimes I wonder why the person who initiates a break up gets blamed and casted in a bad light. Is the person who wants to leave a relationship always to blame? Perhaps that person deserves a pat on the back instead for being mature and brave enough to end things rather than dragging things on just for the sake of being responsible/kind. 

Sometimes we hear people lament oh but s/he didn’t do anything wrong, s/he is such a good person.. xyz must be really bad/stupid to dump him/her. I wonder if it’s crueler to carry on a relationship with someone knowing that s/he isn’t the right one? Aren’t we short-changing that person ? 

I wonder why it’s so hard to do the right thing. Perhaps of society’s judgment, perhaps of fear, perhaps of the unknown, perhaps of all the things we’ve accumulated that need to be cut off from our lives....
