“You are precious “

Don’t you ever feel that it’s your fault,
Never in a million year it can be,
As, you have loved self sacrificingly,
You cared when it was not even respected.
Don’t you ever feel that you are not enough,
Never for a blink of eyes,
As you stood up for the love that injured you,
You worked on it even when you were not valued.
I want you to believe me when
I say that you are a treasure,
You are not deserved by the bystanders and the entitled sham,
But you will be earned by a warrior who would fight
To win you, protect you and cherish you…

“Omens”

Uneasy feeling of losing,
Unbearable moments of goodbyes,
Unusual blowing of wind,
These all are omens of an approaching epoch,
These are the omens of an ending era,
What control do you and me have,
On the changing face of season,
What control do you and me have,
On this transforming affair of mind…

“Paying the dues “

The train of thoughts take me to places,
It is the best expedition and worst vacation.
To the past of this life, it takes me to you,
You ,whom I gave all my love,
You, whom I gave all my care,
But I didn’t know you had other plans,
I didn’t know you had other muses,
Because I was too lovestruck by the feeling of love.
You who took it all and still complained you didn’t have enough,
You,who found love in other places when I was making our home.
I surely was dumbstruck because I didn’t see my worth.
You who criticized the way I love when you never gave a loving glance,
I surely was dumbstruck because I didn’t know what I deserved.
You think I want it all, you think I want you again?
I am past that point if I be honest and I don’t have anything more that I need to experience from you.
I learned that it is important to take stand for myself,
I learned not to love blindly,
I learned to follow my gut feeling,my intuition,
I learned to look for actions rather than the words,
I don’t think I can learn anything more from you,
You used me for your selfish interests but atleast universe brought you and took you for my best interest…

Why I wander, you wonder?

I hoped you would listen when I cried, “Don’t leave me”,
Understand that the people you are leaving me with do bad things to me.
I hoped the earth would take me inside when I suffered alone on a dark lonely night.
I said I want to go hoping you would stop me,
I said leave me alone hoping that you would hug me,
I said I am alright hoping that you would read,
Inbetween the lines that my heart hurts but I want to be alright.
I need to tell you why I behave the way I do?
But I can’t find the words to justify the truth.
I exist in the World but do I need to exist in similar way everyone does?
I exist in the world that is pain and chain,
I live in a world that is blurry and meaningless,
But I wander in a world that is fine and free…

You want to be honest about your view points?
Just be careful who is your audience,
As it is very easy to be honest about your self in front of others,
But it’s tricky when it’s them you are being honest about.
If you want to see their true colors, bring them into spotlight,
You will see shedding of masks, raising of voices .
You will see your honesty biting your behind,
You may see those “close ones” using your vulnerability against you,
Don’t be shocked by it.
Imagine yourself in their shoes;
If you cringe then you deserve them,
If you stay unbiased then this world doesn’t deserves you.. But definitely needs you…

“Time is flying “

The universe is infinite, it’s a boon,
there are so many unanswered questions, it’s a boon.
We are the civilization always finding for more,
We are always driven to unexplored expanses.
Unknown is the fuel that keeps us going to live on for the undiscovered times.
Though we tend to take things known to us for granted.
The sun, The moon, The earth
We think they won’t change,
but what do we know when it will all change.
The people in our lives,we think they are here now, so what is the big deal;
But does that mean they can’t vanish in a blink of an eye?
We have tendency to crave for something new till we obtain it,
But why do we forget to enjoy it and cherish it now.
We think we are forever, we all delude ourselves in some way or another,
But when it’s our time to go, no one really knows.
Then why are we still not living the life we want now?
Why are we waiting for the future to start taking our passions seriously?
Why are we waiting to be with that person we love?
Why are we still doing the dead-end job we lothe?

Oh, Because we have time!!
Or, Do we??

“The worship “

You were there when no one cared,
You saw my each and every breath,
You observed my each karma.
You stayed silent when I desperately wanted answers,
But you did answer my prayers when I was at the edge.
You saw me jumping off the cliff,
But made Falling an enriching experience.
I fell on my head and everything was blur for so long,
Then like a wave upward you brought me back to the surface,
Filling me with the persistence to swim.
I kept swimming till I reached a safe coast,
How can I be grateful for the struggles you gave me,
That showed me how your miracle works.

“Canvas “

The palette is so bloody red with the colors of my heart,
I take it out for you to borrow,
But you kept it for own cause.
I gave you my heart away to keep it safe and sound,
But you colored your canvas of life,
With the bloody red of my heart…

Voices

She see herself in the mirror,
She sees her reflection and she is pretty sure she loathes it.
Why does she feel unworthy of being adored,
Why does she feel unworthy of self-love,
Is it the random comment that points out how her body has changed?
Or is it the specific judgmental voices in her head that seems to be ashamed of her?
Or is it the casual insults used by her loved ones in a “joking way”?
Should she tell them that it bothers her?
Should she tell them that it’s depression that is making her eat uncontrollably?
Should she tell them that she starves herself whole day out of loneliness ?
Should she tell them that she can’t change her genes?
Or should she shut them off as its none of their business?
But what does she tell her inner voices?
Who placed such dialogues in there..
Was it the parent who rejected the 12 year old’s changing body,
Was it the crush who rejected a genuine admirer,
Was it the school teacher that rejected the talent just because of a number on scale of weight or colour.
When did we start treating a child like show stopper,
When did we start berating a child for his or her individuality,
When did we start comparing it with the poster child when in reality the child is an unique perfect creation.
It is time to stop, it is time to think before we say or look at a child,
Because it is watching us, observing us and learning from us.
Strangely it adopts our impression of him and continue to treat himself the way we did.
We are the voices,
Think before you act in front of a child,
Because
As a broken adult she will shut other’s mouth but won’t be easily be able to shut the voices in her head…
