Solace.

You’ll realize this, one fine day

That you don’t belong here, in this today

Your heart might be a million years old

And your mind might look for things that no one knows

That you accept change with a smile on your face

But letting someone go will ache your soul

That you won’t fear the newness in the air

If the winter is over too soon, you won’t complain

But when you give your heart, to mend it is so much pain

That you hold what you love so close, so that it would remain

You bring chaos to the table, with the thoughts you display

You bring calmness to the ones, who know your innate

They confuse you to scare you, hold you back, and so beware

You are one of a kind, and a kind that needs to be there

Your heart looks for solace and your mind for freedom

So accept who you are, and everything will fall into place.

The sun will shine bright, the night will be clearer

Just hold yourself tight, as your paradise is near.

So just hold yourself tight.

My Own - Happy International Women's Day

I penned this poem down for the 'Gender Equality Week'. Wishing every woman out there a warm, loved filled International Women's Day. Let's work towards making a present where Men & Women both live as equals.

As I sit waiting, for the day to pass

I wonder if I would be heard at all.

Will what I wear matter, when my words fall

Will my gender be a question at all?

I could be somebody's mother, sister, friend or foe

Or I could be just my own.

Will my beauty be questioned, if I use my brains?

Why can't I be both, can you explain?

Will I be worth less, if I sparkle today

Or was I worthless, since the day I spoke for me.

Will you judge me for my openness,

Will I be timid, if I am quiet?

I could be somebody's shoulder, soul, fire or enemy

Or I could be the only one for me.

Why do I fight for my rights, wherever I go?

Why do I explain myself, when my work can show.

Why am I tied & tested, throughout my life?

Why am I in deep waters, why do I fall?

I could be strong, independent, courageous or scared

I can be whatever I wish to be.

But I am judged, "don't move, don't think, don't say"

"Don't question, just listen, a man will decide your worth today"

"Your marriage, your pay, your clothes, your way"

Nothing will be in my hands, not even my birth, they say.

I am judged on the emotions that I display,

"Wipe your tears, my girl!" What will everyone say?

All I am asking for, is a chance today,

Let me be at power, with the world we've made.

Let me make my choices, I am working for it

Let us be ONE, let us begin today.

I give, I take, I grieve, I forgive

I shouldn't bargain , for the way I want to live.

I am somebody's mother, daughter, friend & foe

And I am also, my own.

Let Go.

Its been years since I last penned (typed) down my thoughts or wrote about things on my mind.

So, here I am again, trying to do what I used to love.

This is for me. And if you find yourself in here somewhere, this is for you too.

Let go,

Of all the things that put you down

People, streets, cafes & sounds

Numbers & letters & all those songs.

Let go,

Of stories & theories they talked about

Of memories they couldn't leave out

They gave you empty promises and self doubt.

Let go,

Of the dreams you couldn't fulfil

Of the mistakes that made you regret

The decisions that put you on a thin thread.

Let go,

Of people who gave you scars

You know, you gave too much to those hearts

For now you've to forgive those hands.

Let go,

Of all the ego & arrogance you hold

Take help and face all your flaws

It is okay to close your eyes and pause.

Let go,

Apologize to your self for once

Accept and love and heal and drench

Yourself in faith that you'll be okay.

Let go,

Smile and shine for who you are

Its okay to faulter, fumble and fall

Get up, get going and know that you have,

let go.
