Walking in nature
Seeing the ripples in the water
Brings a sense of calmness
In our hectic lives
Feeling the fine, cool breeze
Run through our hair
Listening to the leaves
As one falls here and there
The birds keep humming away
Filled with laughter of kids play
Hearing the swings sway
Reminding us of the good old days
The destination may not be easy to reach
The choices may not be easy to make
However, just remember…
Enjoy the journey you have embarked on
Make each struggle count
Most importantly, don’t forget to have fun with them
As each little step taken in that direction
Will make everything worth it
You can do it!
The feeling of pain
Fills that moment with stillness
As on starts to feel a sense of numbness
Where everything seems in vain
Shortly, one becomes overwhelmed
Every breath filled with heaviness
With each breath becoming louder and louder
Breaking the profound silence
Where one comes to realize the strength they carry
To overcome the misery
Maybe slowly, but surely
As every movement is purposeful and timely
The notion of time
Is so simple yet complex
At times having ample of it
And at others scrambling to find some
While some things get done
Other things don’t
Celebrating achievements
Pondering on regrets
As one searches for the right balance
Trying to figure out the chaos
Within oneself and externally
Coming face to face with reality
One may not be able to do everything they want
But, can make the most of what they have
As one comes to realize
That it shall eventually pass..
Eyes are often a reflection of our soul
Witness of an unspoken tale
Deeply rooted in our conscience
Where not many have access
As they faithfully and loyally guard our secrets
Through the good and trying times
Controlling the flood of emotions waiting to trickle down
Hoping to decrease the mounting anguish
Just to let it all go
Being more vulnerable than ever
Eyes have become crystal clear
Revealing the various emotions: pain, resentment and anger
Nowhere to hide or disappear
Now, everyone can see past the facade
Feeling as if I were being stripped naked
And shamed by the increasing number of glares
Live, laugh, love
Bring a feeling of warmth
Especially with those who make us feel alive
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 is
my soul
my smile
my shining eyes
my body
my attitude
my confidence
my persistence
my laughter
I am beautiful ♥
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
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
