Anything that feels home,
Be it,
Memories, person,
Or a place
Your safe zone-
In the midst of mental uproar,
Thoughts swayed by unkind wind,
A warm sip to
calm the mind,
You are alone,
To fight the
troubled waters,
That quiet warm hug,
Is all that matters
-
Take ten steps back,
For a higher leap,
Being invisible is crucial,
For your visibility to increase-
Time taught me,
We don't need to react every time,
Observe,
Evaluate,
And set boundaries,
Not everyone thinks the same,
Not everyone feels the same
-
Problems are like those
untamed, frizzy hair strands,
And Wind,
their soul sister,
Together,
They find ways to poke
You erratically,
Here and there
-
One day,
I decided to choose myself,
Ignored the mongering,
Shrugged off
snooty comments,
And accepted the 'true me'
Embraced myself
-
And that day there was no noise,
No clamoring,
No complaints,
No clangouring,
Only stillness remained,
Everything went quiet,
All of a sudden,
Mind gave up on thoughts,
And thoughts went blank,
Thoughts went numb,
Silence came uninvited,
And never left,
Silence was an aftermath-
