Words can create magic and I want to get lost in them for some part of each day.

The Road to Suicide.

My heart is teflon coated
My feelings hygenically packed
in cellophane.
I live in a transparent
plastic box.
Cushioned by styrofoam.
Smiling my brittle smile.
Even when there is no air to breathe.
And from suffocation no release.
What should I do when Teflon tires
and plastic rends?
When messy reality intervenes?
That is the bitter truth of it all.
Time to say Goodbye Barbie Doll.

  1. Fabulous Varsha! Ending was real smooth.

    Again Barbie has something to say:

    I may have lost my charisma
    And my plastic may have lost its sheen.

    But, pls dont kill me
    Coz I am still a girl,
    and a girl deserves to be forever sixteen.
