Façade😌
Listening voices in my mind,
My thinking power bind.
Sitting in a lonely place,
I try to fix my gaze.
Averting my mind from vicious thoughts,
I just want to take a pause.
My eyes are brimming with tears,
Still my heart doesn’t hears.
Whishting my emotions,
I put a mask with smiling face.
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
MAYA Angelou
Dear Maya Angelou,
From the beginning, you were born to fly and inspire every single person in your path. When I read your poems and memoirs I travel back in time and try to experience what you all had faced. You inspired everyone to spread their wings and fly way from this vicious circle.
You made us realise that staying silent is not an ultimate peace, we are alive when we fulfill our aspirations. Being a woman with strong mind was not an easy task at that time, but you taught us that gender doesn’t matter when we are against the world.
People think that a woman doesn’t think wisely, but you broke all the stereotypes and outshined with bright colours. Your writing sets an example for those who think that they can’t bring change in this society you made us realise our powers which we were not able to understand.
The society that you wanted is not ready yet, but it is slowly trying to reach the mark. We just need to clean our mind and thoughts, and stop losing hope from life.
I hope you are in a happy and egalitarian place,
From,
A girl who wants to fly.
Wandering around a park,
I saw a glimmering mark,
Fiddling with my mind,
Curiousity made me check it’s kind,
I noticed a blossoming flower,
Bending down, I saw one with a scar,
Hiding beneath the blossoming one,
It wants to shed off its bun,
Peeping towards the sky,
It made my heart cry,
Realizing the message of nature,
I knew what to do with future,
Shedding off the skin,
I sensed the power within,
Testing my preferences, away from validations,
I would be a star, to whom no one could suppress or reject.
Sleeping soundly under a shade,
My deepest feelings are getting fade,
Floating on my wildest fantasy,
I drift towards a different galaxy,
I jumped out of a upside down world,
I made my feet whirled,
Looking at a divine soul,
I tried to make my pounding heart control,
Soul step towards me, it dissolved inside me,
Brimming with the power of serenity,
I swam in the sea of purity,
Rise above high, I completed my search for voice,
Leaving all the malice behind I became more poise,
Keeping a smile on my face,
I left the blooming place,
Coming back to my own glimmer,
I glanced at myself in a mirror,
Having a new divinity in me, I can shape myself better.
Once upon a time, I was staring at the dark sky consumed by my own thoughts, mesmerised by the darkness that was consuming me slowly. I get many thoughts when I am consumed by the dark starry night. Do you all think that starry night want to share something with us?
What I have learnt from my observations is that when we stare at the night sky we think of our dark side our demons that are hiding behind. We all hold a dark side that we don’t want other to see, we are all hiding something from others or maybe from ourselves. We think that maybe hiding things from ourself is the best solution because we are in constant fear of being judged by others, but it’s not okay through this we are escaping the reality we forget that who we are and what is our ultimate goal. Staring at the starry night we come is contact with our true self our real personality.
According to me, dark night symbolises tranquility, fears, emotions and true life in short it shows us a mirror which make us see where we are taking our life, who we really are and what we are hiding from ourselves. That’s why I asked in starting what dark night want to share with you.
When I see stars in the night sky, I think stars are my hope and aspirations that are shining in the dark sheet which encourage me to do what I want and who I want to be. Staring at stars make me want to shine amid others and make me embrace myself.
Dark starry nights are something that pull us towards ourself, they bring out best and worst part of us and throw light at us even in the dark. Don’t hide your dark side, atleast not from yourself just be gentle towards yourself and be proud of what you have.
Life- word is very small but it holds a whole lot of baggage with it. This four letter word has its own complexity and depth, many people think that they understood what’s their life all about and they will be taking things forward according to their planning, but we all face a situation in our life where we find that rope is not in our hands and we are not going according to our plans. Then what? Life drift us from one end to another.
In this process of understanding and going with a flow we forget to breath and have a moment for ourselves. We forget to live our dreams, we forget that we matter to ourselves, we forget to love ourselves, pamper ourselves. One day life push us to that extent where we forget our real identity and we start developing our own fears which effects our mental health.
I am too young to describe more about life, but I know the importance of self love as we have our life only as a major possession other than that we have our loved ones and their momeries with us which are precious.
So at last I would like to state that cherish yourself before life stop giving you second chance. Just take time and ask what you really want and how you want things to be, and be proud of yourself.
