My poetry speaks volumes of what I’ve kept in my heart for a long time. I believe in the power of words that can heal your heart. And Poetry is the soul of power.
I’m sure you are aware of the hype on social media about creating a business, setting goals, mental health awareness, success mindset and entrepreneurship development, but what binds them together is building a vision.
Watch the video below to see how you can build a vision for yourself 🙂
Feel free to contact me if you need to work on setting a vision for yourself. I’m always up for assisting people better their lives. 🙂
Remind me of the child that I was
when the wind just meant air
with nothing more but oxygen that we breathe
and an urge to do something great;
a long list of big dreams.
Take me back to those corny days
when I got cornered by the witches
for being admired for my big brown eyes
that they couldn’t accept;
making me question my worth,
ended up bullying,
Remind me of how hard it was
to overcome the loss of my friends
who turned out to be nothing
but random people shattering me
like a glass as if I wasn’t a mirror
to show them their reality.
Remind me of that young girl
who was traumatized by judgments and
felt misunderstood in the huge crowds,
trying to figure out an escape
and leave everything behind.
Cut to the amazing person
that I forgot I have always been,
who now stands tall and straight
with her eyes on the prize
and the crown on her head
with nothing but victory on her mind.
When the chaos of life overshadows me with the pain and misery,
I know there’s one person I can turn to in a blink.
Dreams tend to become the reality; I know
But who knew,
the reality would just get better than my dreams?
I imagined a life of calm and peace for me
And nothing short have I now recieved.
It’s not a fairytale.
Not some other disney princess crying for a prince.
Just a girl with an immense love for a guy
who never fails to treat her like a Queen.
My world has shattered into a millions pieces before
But I picked them up to become the new me.
Growth is about loving yourself,
But also to let others be there for you when you are in need.
I pushed people away for the sake of my sanity
But I realised; it wasn’t all about the crowd,
but my inner self who had lost the will to BE.
All this time, I wasted on loving others;
I forgot about the ones who were in love with me.
But I end this pattern now
and let him stand right next to me.
I see why nothing worked with others.
Why I wondered if I’ll ever get back what I give.
To be in love is all about staying with him
for better or for worse.
Tell me love,
Are you too at peace ?
So many stories to tell.
So much to write about.
Numerous situations,
just couldn’t get myself out.
Broken stars
craving embrace of the dark.
People begging
for the sake of their heart.
Countless people I met,
a few I pushed away
while others straight-away left.
Somehow,
I find myself
keeping my thoughts inside.
I wonder why,
knowing myself feels
way more comforting
than someone else claiming
they’ve been aware
all this while.
And the pain suddenly faded away
with the words giving relief to my heart,
silent. But loud.
The wounds that I dreaded all day
have healed my bruised body;
immensely safe and sound.
The blood dripping down my face,
have now vanished away with the rhymes
that I kept chanting around.
The heartache which
once kept me awake,
now allows me to sleep;
deep & profound.
The unbearable emotions have now escaped
that were once confined in cages
and relentlessly bound.
The voices that I’ve always avoided
like the summer time sun rays
have become regular melodious sounds.
The peace that I would usually crave,
finally,
found me in a serene arena,
far, far away
from the erratic crowd.
Blessed to have been lost & played
for this was the ultimate way;
my origin was actually meant to be found.
I know,
I lost my will to dream,
for the nightmares kept pushing me down
into the deep dark hole of survival
where I kept questioning
my worth, my existence,
the reasons to trade my life.
But I shine,
not with my eyes but words
that I kept hidden inside,
afraid of letting them out
for they might realize
my insecurities
once again,
letting me fall apart
in the overcast sky.
Tripping soul.
Unsaid words.
Some battles fought;
Survived and lost.
Unexplained rage.
Tears streaming down the face.
Some memories shared.
Some nightmares feared.
Scattered thoughts.
Some questions raised.
Few answers sought.
Some love gained.
Some broken promises.
Some efforts went all in vain.
Thousand wounds.
A million emotions.
Scribbled randomly
Just on a blank page.
He was right there
Asking me if I could stay
A little more that day.
I know, I wasn’t someone
he would wish to be with,
or silently crave.
But he must’ve felt,
my incompleteness; a certain way
like the Sun without its rays.
Sitting outside in the cold,
All I could see was,
his dark brown eyes staring at me.
All I could hear was;
his whispers, trying to comfort me.
The world seemed a better place,
when he took me in his embrace.
It was surreal.
Speechless, I can say.
I lost the count of words
to express my affection for him.
I missed him
even when he was sitting there,
right next to me.
Well, I couldn’t expect
the same from him.
After all, the graveyard
gives you no option
to bring back the dead.
A new life awaits the dead.
Crumbled bones; loosened hopes,
Shaking and taking my breath.
The silence of the graveyard,
curtailing the beauty of the wreath.
Look into the grave,
See how far you’ve come; he said.
But here, only death surrounds.
Wounded and shattered souls all around.
“Can I stay with you tonight?
I’d rather be dead than alive.”
Alluring, as it may seem;
You’d want to live here forever.
For no one here feels, cries or talk.
No one here hurts, lies or mock.
But go astray.
Leave as soon as you can.
Because all this time I’ve lived here,
I’ve realized;
Sometimes, feeling broken is
way better than feeling nothing.
With my heart
keeping all the words inside,
And my mind
making me believe in disguise;
There’s this part of me;
trying to reach out to you.
Running, crawling, falling;
in pursuit of a way to get to you.
And then,
there’s the other;
holding my head high enough
to stare at the Sun in its eyes.
I wonder if I’ve ever let you know;
my feelings for you
were so true and pure.
Mesmerized yet traumatized by love,
misery, your eternal rest
and the breaking ties.
Engulfed by my own thoughts and surmise,
I hereby surrender myself
To the fundamentals of being alive.
Hey.
Where were you?
I’ve been waiting for you the whole day.
Sitting in the corner of a dark room,
I kept searching for you.
To talk to you
about how my day went.
To walk with you
in these empty rooms.
To share stories
about the people in my head.
To reveal
my deepest secrets and fears.
To lay next to you
when I’m scared of the demons under my bed.
To accept you
when nobody else is ready to.
To appreciate you
when you feel worthless and upset.
To help you survive
your worst battles.
To make you love your nightmares instead.
To tell you that I love you the most.
To express,
how badly I’ve been missing you.
Are you listening?
Hey?
I’m talking to you.
Yes! YOU.
The beautiful being in the mirror.
