This poem is about the recent suicide by a young and upcoming Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput. He was just 34 years old. 

Shiny stars,
Aloof and far.
Vast and frightening,
Empty sky.
Numbed in mind,
The moon retreats.
And hides its face
Behind the cloud. 

Lost in the depths,
And maze of thoughts.
It sees a light,
At the end of it.
To end the torture
One fateful day.
And Dangles itself 
From the ceiling fan. 

Then the preachers land,
From their lofty heights.
To blame the weak,
And feeble mind.
Mouthing clichés,
And rousing quotes.
They’ll talk about the,
Beautiful life.
When life has finally 
Lost its way. 
Into a vortex
Dark and deep.
