When i felt a cup of coffee
Is my energybomb
And my powerbooster-
Perceptions
They said the world is dark
I felt its darker..
They said the life is tough
I felt it is the toughest
They said I am bad
I felt i am the worst !!
They left and noone said anything
I lived in the dark world
I felt everything better
i felt the life easy , beautiful
It was me or them i wondered
Who is wrong!!
My world is heaven i felt
I learnt,not to learn from them
But to live unlike them!
-
The wishes uncovered!
The present is beautiful!
Yet those memories, the bits of innocence that drench me in the sea of emotions,
the green paddy fields And the nutmeg trees , the hard earnedPocket money ...the beatings and punishments and
the coins of blessings ..that could lit up my eyes !
The moments I lived, now its strange,everything Appears blurred and
the girl in those moments is just
A stranger now,
Back to those days when i wrote
my first bit.. .of poetry ,as
i used to call them ...
my trembling hands and the Thick framed spectacles..witnessed
My ever best piece i could write 'my mother'
mixed in innocent feelings of an 8 year old...
And the books,the short stories
and the poems back in the old bookshelf...my bestfriends for life, as i believed once,..now busy with their new friendships ,the spiders and the cobwebs ..has replaced me as in forever now..,
Everything is strange and remote Yet they drench me in emotions and the Urge to live in the very old past
once again..back to the eight year old me!!..i wish, holding back
this beautiful present!!!

I believed in freedom, the freedom to express.. I explored my thoughts and let
the world do the same..
I was questioned, I was scrutinized
I was threatened and then I realised
I was always given the freedom
To express in my own limits!!..-
My wild heart was tamed by a player
And he left me with the wildest one!!!!...-
