The shoes were the perfect size
but nails grew an inch.
Perfect puzzle piece,
but the shadows overlapped and could not fit.
Worn-out sensations,
We got so numb, the hearts could not feel a thing.
Got me feeling so high but still low.
Do we have the courage to endure in bravery,
Or cowardice to thrive in being solo.
Courage to say nothing more left unsaid
Cropped pictures are just but components of the Genesis.
Some flowers are cherished for their promise of perfection,
Yet never bloom to be
Nothing makes more sense than to cherish the day-
Some flowers are cherished for their promise of perfection,
yet never bloom to be.-
A poet would say trauma is:
A voice lost to loud whispers,
Painful sufferings
that dwell in the shadows deep.
Buried in our mind’s recesses,
Bearing doubts and insecurities,
about the heights we can reach on every leap.-
January and February passed,
March’s momentum faltered.
April’s pace raced by in a twirl, May’s warmth shone bright,
But goals in inertia, out of reach and unfazed.
June’s halfway mark loomed, checkboxes still unchecked.
Pressure dunes mounted,
like a sandstorm, hard to deflect.
Self care was a fragile armor,
even it too felt worn,
Overwhelm seeped in, like a slow-moving dawn.
Yet,
with July’s jolly arrival, a fresh start unfurls.
May commitment’s fire ignite, and our dreams unfold.-
I had to detox
and vowed never to relapse,
back to my old habits of falling for you
at every synapse.-
Looking at us,
they don’t see we indifferent.
they call us weirdos’,
cause from the whole world we seem distant.
And they feel..
we lack supernatural powers of being equally conversant.-
A wedge stuck on the throat,
that still can't be swallowed.
the salty far-fetched tears,
dropping from a heavy restless heart amidst a sea of deep emotions.
the hesitancy of a comfortable soul,
the longing to stay and
fear to leave home without console.
this feeling of growing apart,
Is chronic pain fresh from a drill bit.
When all is shattered, and nothing's whole.-
May you get life in abundance,
May you be graced and blessed.
May your words never dwell in redundance,
May your light never be dimmed.
May your actions be given a chance,
May your ideas be considered.
May your voice be louder than silence.
May your decisions be fully informed,
May you gain trust in self and increase confidence.
May you be determined, consistent and focused.
May your actions speak commitment in fluency,
May you be able to value and finish whatever you started.
May your days scream positivity,
May your dreams and aspirations turn to reality.
May you keep your head up high,
For your greatness is nigh.-
