The Prick of love

It’s not about how long we travelled together.
It’s all about the journey.
How long we felt the journey.
And the pain of leaving each other’s side…
There were many unspoken words,
Words that our eyes spoke to each other…
Words that our heartbeats could sync in..
Words that never left the vocal cords…
But echoed in the hearts…
The tighter hugs,
That left the air encapsulated between,
The battling hearts…
The fingers, that lingered even,
When it was time to say goodbyes…
The feel of the skin…
That remained inscribed in the souls.
The nail marks, that went deeper than the skin..
The  tears, that didn’t wanna fall out,
As it knew, it’s the moment it should not flood the eyes.
The happy and sad tears battled,
As it wasn’t sure which one should be expelled…
The warmth of the chest, formed by the cuddles…
That broke the ice that was wrapped around the heart..
The silent kisses, the lips aced, to give away…
As the heart could succumb the love it emitted.
Never have i ever felt,
The prick of love…
The one that etched my heart.

Who cares???

Truth bomb…
No one cares…
They look like they do care until something new buds in…
The reality is that only you need to care…
You win, you get..
You fail…you win again…
You rise; it is good for you.
Your falls, you need to work again…
It’s all just ‘you’, mostly…
Hence, no matter what happens, what people comment on.. what people  show,
Focus on what you feel on the inside…
At times you might feel so down, as if you were pushed into rock bottom..
But remember, it’s an illusion.
You dig deeper, you reach the other side…
All you need to find is, ways to do things differently…
You need not be conventional, be different…
Flaunt your differences, to the world…
Let it realize that there are multiple ways to reach success genuinely…
Fail, rise, fail again, rise again… that’s how life is…
Sometimes the wins are too small and short-lived….and that’s ok…
All you need is the tiny little attitude, to keep going…
Your motivation should be the lubricant to the wheels of your dreams…
Wear and tears are normal my dear self,
Let things patch up..
It is beautiful in its way,
With all the scars that are unknown to the world.

The Energy of Love and Support in Life

There were times,
When I cried, broke down, and lost;
and you held me tight;
led my path;
from mayhem to clarity;
I believe in the energy that surrounds me;
It is you;
I am thankful for everything;
you have provided me with;
for everything that you have made me realize in my life;
You are my support,
the one who knows, all my flaws and all my goodness;
There is no one else, who could contain my fears,
no one could always listen to my blabbering, without complaints;
It is always you;
I believe in you;
in your energy that you dispense into my world;
leading me to the right way, so i do lead myself astray;
When I felt – “Why me?”;
You held me, closer, and whispered- “It is for you to be stronger.”
I believed in every step i took because I knew, you were there to hold me, when i fell;
You are the light of my life;
Moments, when I held my tears, in the dark;
you helped me go through the pain strongly;
Thank you for holding me and leading me always;
Every moment, I shut my eyes, and pray;
I see you, my lord;
in every form, I love looking at you.
Oh, my Lord! Thank you for being always on my side.

Happy New Year! Welcome 2025

It’s the time of the year when everyone is indulged in celebrating, gearing up for new goals, resolutions, no resolutions and much more. It’s the time of the year to celebrate and commemorate every moment we enjoyed, missed, cherished and wish to be re-live. Even though it’s just another day, it’s up to us to perceive how it should be. There is no magic happening just because it’s a new year,, a new day. Remember, you are the magic and the magician who needs to perform. You can choose to be what you want and you will achieve it.
Let’s rock another year with a lot of hits and misses.
Remember to recharge yourself, do not drain yourself and always care for yourself.  Always remember you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Happy New Year my folks!

To the procrastinator in me

It all started with,
‘I am not supposed to’,
‘It’s so selfish of me’;
which led me to develop the,
the procrastinator in me;
All I did was,
just listen to it;
even when at some point ;
my mind began to revolt;
years went by, what did i gain;
a constant miscommunication with myself;
procrastination in me;
took different phases;
it began to outgrow my lap;
it began to dominate my mind;
pushing away everything i desired;
A part of me debated effortlessly;
but then the procrastinator in me won;
as it knew its arena quite well
sometimes it won against, the long-lost love for being me;
Sometimes it won against the need to be healthier;
Sometimes it won against the early morning hours i loved and cherished;
some times, it won against the love for being with friends and family;
Sometimes it won against the best moments i could have brought about;
it kept on winning,
but again at-times losing to a better version of me;
but again, it knew how to beat me, what card to play;
i let it win, i know;
every other day, i decide- i am over it;
but Nah! There it is again, twitching its way up into my mind;
when I am about to grab a moment to better myself;
tactics it gained over years- its commendable i would say;
it always had its version of tactics to slow the better-me version
Now it is time,
It is time to end the wars and embrace them;
It is time to embrace and realize;
that it is always a part of me; sometimes the handy part of me;
that kept me away from all the troubles i could end up doing;
so yes- Happy New Year to the little procrastinator in me.

Inner you, take a break

There is a piece of you, that is craving for your care and nurturing. The same piece of you that feels left off every time. The part of you that is neglected due to the tremendous amount of pressure you built for yourself. The part of you that never gets to see the brighter side, as it is scared to be seen. The part of you that you ignore when 100 other things play high.The part of you that you unheard when you spent time listening to others. The part of you that you pushed away when you had to choose between yourself and others. The part of you that you are scared to project because you will be termed ‘selfish’. The part of you that lets your eyes flood, heart pierced and break, but mends with a smile as it is scared to show the weakness in yourself… The part of, that knows how scared you are, yet pushes you to be strong. The part of you, that stays alert, even when you pretend to be in deep sleep. The part of you that holds the tears and brings in a smile without a hinge of sadness shadowing the brightness of the heart. The part of you that constantly pushes you to do things, that accepts failures, and much more that you do not want the world to see. The part that is familiar with your vulnerable side. It’s time to wind down, relax and let the wavering part of you enjoy sedentary minutes, worry about nothing and cherish the moment.
It’s hard, indeed hard, to stop the gush of emotions that flow like a waterfall….but it’s time. Inner, you need some rest to recharge and reset.

Being observant

Being observant about things that are happening around me is causing me more pain at times. I keep noticing things, the patterns they occur, the tiny lil bit of detailing sometimes too intricate and subtle, and i realize- it just feels odd and painful again.
Every time people approach me with sweet words, i know they are not true to their words, they just need me. I play along, as i believe that no matter what, i am just meant to help them along.

Ever wondered why?
Deep inside, we hate to hate; we hate to be lonelier…our self-validation never works at times; it breaks down. Hence we constantly seek validation from people around us. Even when we know it’s a fake gesture and words,  we just accept it.

Seeking validation is much more like a side effect of traumas that we have gone through in the past. It’s not easy since we know that it’s gonna be a pain, yet we leave ourselves out there to get hurt.
Love yourself a little more, we are always a little more than what we think we are.
