Live, laugh, love
Bring a feeling of warmth
Especially with those who make us feel alive

Flaws…
Don’t be afraids of showing you’re weaker side
As we are all filleds with flaws
There’s not needs to reprimand
In our quest to discover ourselves
Beautiful
Beautiful is
my soul
my smile
my shining eyes
my body
my attitude
my confidence
my persistence
my laughter
I am beautiful ♥
Smile! The world is watching.
Smile as much as you can
Laugh as often as you can
As it may help the ones
For whom, life is filled with trials and sorrows
Be grateful for what you have
Whether it is food, freedom, education or a roof over your head
As they might be a luxury for some and a privilege for others
Where instead of permanence, one will encounter relativeness
Ready, set, goals!
Goals and success aspire us to keep going in life
From an early age, are taught to view it as a linear line
Downplaying the various curves and turns in the process
As we try to find our true identity and passion
But, the search seems to be taking its toll
As everything seems to be getting out of control
What should I focus on ? How do I prioritize?
As expectations from ourselves keep increasing with age
Why is it that one cannot falter?
Why is it that one may not learn at their own pace?
Is it all about the grades?
Or, is there no value left for determination and perseverance?
Whatever the reason may be…
Everyone is unique in their own way
Yet, their strengths receive a blind eye from many
As society is good at subjugating those that dare to pave their way
Life: the enigma
Life, why is it so complicated?
Why aren’t we able to appreciate all its facets?
It seems as if we have distanced ourselves from all emotions
In search of answers, simplicity and convenience
Sometimes it may be better to let things be
Let time take its own course
And, focus on what can be
As we try to overcome its many obstacles
We rise, we fall, we hang on or in other words, manage
At times we feel good about ourselves, and at others desolate
Realizing there is something new to be learned everyday
Not being too judgmental and flexible for what it may…
However, fear of the unknown and change can be quite deranging
Just take the first step, and discover what awaits on the other side
Take a deep breath, relax and believe in yourself
As this journey is an amalgamation of the quality of your thoughts and actions.
Goodbye!
It just seems as if I had embarked on this journey yesterday
Now, it’s already time to bid farewell
I wish I would have lived and enjoyed day after day
But now, I am prepared to tackle life well
This journey might have been filled with negativity
As it taught me to appreciate the positivity within me
People came and went, but not many stayed
I thank them for showing me those that mattered
With every rise and every fall came a new lesson
Which taught me not to underestimate the power of words
Sometimes, silence is better than to reckon
As I come to realize the strength of these wounds
They kept telling me to keep moving and hustling
Found hope in the most hopeless places of all
Learning to appreciate the simple act of breathing
Where all the mystery prevails!
The mind..
The mind is such a powerful thing
It makes one do good deeds and at times sin
How to explain for this discrepancy
Is this part of our individuality or humanity?
It is the center of both our actions and inactions
As we look for a place to hide
In our society, our imagination
Where compassion for all is despised
We talk about democracy and equality
Progress is the term we all apply
But, have we made progress?
Is it in the law, the sciences, moral values or technology?
How to measure such progress
That seems to make us more self-centered
Giving is an inherent part of our existence
Yet, what is it that we are searching for?
Simply look within, all the answers will be there
Is this love?
How to break this prolonged silence
That seems to increase this unknown distance
There is so much to say
But my mind has gone in disarray
From where do I start
How I wish this time could come to a halt
For, this will give me the courage to speak
However, the fear of losing you makes me weak
What can I do to alleviate the situation
All these emotions are new to me
I thought I had mastered the art of communication
Alas, much work remains to be done
You are so near, yet so far
I cannot bear the thought of being apart
I want to be able to share my life with you
How do I determine what to do?
The introvert
Life can be lived with hope or despair
Yet, we expect it to be fair
How to determine what to do next
When our heart and mind are filled with such unrest
To whom do I turn to find assurance
Provide me the much needed support and solace
What have I done to deserve this in the first place
Even my silence is at times mistaken
When will people realize that I am an introvert
Just need someone patient enough to understand
I know I am not a bad person
Yet, I made to feel I have done something wrong
Deep inside, I know I am shaken, not broken
But I will not let the faith in myself waver
As I have taken blows quite often
I still remain hopeful for a better life and future
