During moments when you’re hollow,
Try to search for the sun in your rainbow,
A memory, a keepsake,
Or perhaps, a lone flower in your wake,
A ray of light that’d help you find your ore,
Or possibly give you reasons to smile some more,
Because, what’s hurting you now, ain’t just making you whine,
It is in fact, helping you seek your sunshine!
You’re one of a kind, you’re unique by design,
You are a star, born to shine,
You don’t have to fit in,
You don’t have to give in,
Be your own,
Find your own special zone,
Don’t lose yourself in the crowd,
Carve your own niche, make your own mould!
“Scared?”
“Erm…No, but I’m nervous. What if things turn haggard?”
“Chill. It’ll be a smooth sail.”
“I might fall. I might fail.
I wanna have a ball, but I know I am too frail”.
“You are meant to reach the stars.
Begin to look, beyond your scars.”
“You haven’t given up on me yet?”
“Never have. Never will. You’ll always have my back. For you, are my best bet.”
You ain’t meant to be, in a cage, confined,
You ain’t meant to be, by boundaries, defined,
With your attitude, slay, with your confidence, stun,
Brace yourself for everything under the sun,
Break all barriers, set your soul free,
Be as wild as you’d want to be,
Flap your wings for you are meant to fly,
And you wouldn’t know what you can do, until you try!
An idea, A thought,
A poem, A plot,
A picture, A painting,
A song you might want to sing,
Sober or slick,
Well thought out, or just candid and quick,
Create, something new,
Create, something out of the blue,
Create, something that stays to your heart true,
Create something, that speaks for you!
“That’s a nice house. But isn’t it a bit too small?
Would it be able to fit in you all?”
“No, but this would, literally, bring us together,
Get us to see a lot more of each other,
Teach us to adjust and accommodate,
Make us spend a lot more time every day than just on an ear-marked date,
Above everything else, I hope the smaller space, between us, helps reduce the distance,
And turn this house into a home in every real sense!”
Cheers ✨
‘Tis sometimes good, to let your hair down,
To laugh out loud and forget to frown,
To indulge yourself, to make you, your first priority,
To enjoy your happiness, and shed that anxiety,
To live a little for yourself, just how you’d want to,
To be haywire, awry and askew,
To take time off and find your zen,
Because if you wouldn’t, who would, then?
Because it’s my mom’s birthday today…❤
On some days she is the rain,
On some days, she becomes your sunshine,
On some days, she is a myriad of emotions,
On some days she is bereft, of expressions,
On some days she is a handful, claiming your attention,
On some days she remains silent, anxious with apprehension,
On some days she charms you, with her lilting laughter,
On some days she captivates you, with the fierceness of a warrior…
She becomes everything there is and beyond – you wouldn’t want to assess her capacity,
For, she decides, she defines, what she chooses to be!
She thought her dream of pursuing music for a career,
Was now a closed chapter,
For, she was forced to stay within walls four,
And manage the household chores,
Little did she know,
She’d be wooed to revive her passion and how,
The man who ordered her to quit, her “better half” out of the blue,
Now, leaves no stone unturned, to get her back to continue,
Money sure, has the Midas touch,
For it manages to make a gentleman out of an egoistic grouch!
A man looked at his teenage daughter tending to her parrot in the garden,
He strode over to explain to her that the cage wasn’t its safe haven.
“Don’t cage the bird, just let it fly,
The poor thing can’t even speak, it wouldn’t ask you what or why,
Let it take its course, Don’t restrict it by force,
Set it free,
For, the world, it needs to see,
Don’t cut its wings, just let it fly”
“What about me, dad?”
Emotions That Matter.
