My dear love,
Devil in the mind,
Brings evil in the mind,
Because the devil in the mind,
...
My dear, it takes a time,
To become water of the ice,
As setting sun takes a time to rise again.
...
The past was past,
But the present is mine,
What our dream is star like shine,
The curse was called,
...
When I entered in your minds eyes,
I forgot all my painful worries,
And I remember nothing dear,
And my memories are wiped out,
...
Love is love and love is love,
Whoever in love,
Flies in the sky,
Like that of Eagal,
...
Remember the day when we met,
In my beautiful chamber of gate,
There was peace and silence spread,
Door was shut and comfort zone had different thread,
...
My dear, you are crystal clear,
Your mind is crystal clear,
And your soul is also clear.

(The speaker stands alone, perhaps behind a desk or at a podium, voice heavy with fatigue and isolation. Their gaze drifts, as if seeing the weight of every decision they've made.)
Monologue:
Do you think they see me?
Do they think the crown, the office, the title… makes this life enviable?
...
(The speaker stands, voice trembling at first, then rising with defiance. Their gaze sweeps as if seeing both oppressors and the silent masses.)
Monologue:
I have watched them…
I have watched them take everything.
...
(The speaker stands alone, voice rising and falling with a mix of anger, despair, and urgency. They speak as if addressing society itself—or the audience as a mirror.)
Monologue:
Do you see it?
Do you see what they have done?
...
(A figure stands under a harsh, solitary light, voice low at first, trembling with a mix of anger, sorrow, and revelation.)
Deep… deep within the lies…
That is where I find myself.
...
(The speaker stands on a stage or street corner, voice trembling at first with fear, then rising with fury and conviction. They speak as if addressing both the oppressed and their oppressors.)
Monologue:
They think we are silent.
They think we are afraid.
...
(The speaker stands alone, shoulders slumped but eyes burning with a mix of pride and sorrow. Their voice trembles with emotion, rising and falling with intensity.)
Monologue:
I believed… I believed in something greater than myself.
I believed in honor, in duty, in the flag, in the cause.
...
(The speaker stands in a dim corner, voice raw and trembling at first, then rising with fierce defiance. Their eyes dart between imagined oppressors and an unseen audience.)
Monologue:
Do you see us?
Do you even notice?
...
In shadowed corners, secrets softly lie,
Where fears and longings whisper in the dark;
The heart may wander, asking how and why,
And stumble on what leaves a lasting mark.
...
Courage whispered soft within the trembling soul,
A voice too quiet for the world to hear;
It steadies hearts when fear would take its toll,
And turns the timid step to something clear.
...
Scattered dreams lie drifting on the breeze,
Like autumn leaves that tumble from the tree;
They slip through fingers, vanish with such ease,
Yet whisper secrets of what we might be.
...
Not born of eyes alone is flawless sight,
Nor sharpened merely by the gift to see;
It rises when the heart stands clear and right,
Unclouded by the self's deformity.
...
Not crowned by rank nor robed in borrowed shine,
The distinguished soul walks quietly apart;
Its worth is etched in patience, line by line,
In acts of grace that shape a faithful heart.
...
O Script of Life, unwritten yet begun,
You move with days that never quite repeat;
Each dawn adds lines the setting sun has spun,
In ink of choice, of chance, of loss, of meet.

Devil In The Mind
My dear love,
Devil in the mind,
Brings evil in the mind,
Because the devil in the mind,
Creates mistrust in the mind.
My dear love,
Never give birth to the devil in the mind;
And the evil in the mind,
Because, evil in the mind cuts the throats,
And devil in the mind destroys the world,
And devil in the mind destroys the happiness.
My dear love,
Ever long for happiness,
And ever long for peace,
Because, we are born of happiness,
Lived of happiness,
And, we would live for peace.
Because, my dear love,
Devil in the mind brings;
Evil in 823the mind.
