Nightfall! (Poem)

-
Sunsets remind me of hope for a new day,
A life I want to live my way,
But what breaks me the very moment 
Is the harsh winds covering the gloomy day! 

A storm I never expected,
Shelter I lost the very second,
Life’s becoming a scarier nightmare!

Picking up broken pieces, 
Trying to gather my strength,
Empathising and forgiving myself every now and then,
Terrified with haze I continued to navigate!

Perspectives changed,
Habits developed,
Character strengthened,
Confidence multiplied,
Growth began,
Leading to exponential self transformation! 

Looking back I realise I’ve come far, 
A climb, an adventure, an opportunity that seemed to break me,
Has now made me who I am!
I wonder if I stopped after breaking down,
I’d miss this breathtaking sunrise after nightfall!

Experiences!

  In this never ending lifespan of ours which we think won’t end soon, isn’t it our nature to characterise every adventure into good, bad, a mistake, that dream and many more labels that we can think of… As much as these add clarity in our not so busy minds, they also create impressions that can last a lifetime. Most times rather than cautioning us against danger they can just haunt us amid daily troubles. Can everything be considered an experience?  Shouldn’t the intention behind something count in our classifications of what’s right and wrong?  When the intention behind something isn’t wrong, then how can it ever be considered false? To whatever extent someone else misinterprets one’s actions….As long as we know we’ve remained true to ourselves nothing else should matter, isn’t it? But….the very fact of being misunderstood can hurt a ton what so ever! On the other hand some experiences can be very new at first, beautiful yet questionable… it’s not easy to decide what th...

Beyond!

Ever felt everything that you wished for, desired or wanted to cherish as yours is beyond your reach? Sometimes there’s no way to get there, nothing to be seen, no path, no guide, in-fact no hope at times… Coming to an important question, why do we look for or want what’s unknown to us? Or assume how our response would be after we have it?  Haven't you wondered sometimes, that what we wished by all ways, may not be the right thing to gain?  In that case, isn’t it beneficial to believe in going with the flow and accepting whatever comes your way, without a single question as to why me at all, this day?  Wishes…we all have too many, isn’t it? Some are just beyond sight while quite a few have been heartfelt prayers from a while.  Not a single ray of sunshine to guide this row, yet we continue to hope in search of it over and over.  Isn’t it stupidity or lies to oneself, while expecting something near to impossible to happen? Is anything impossible at all? Something...

A year!

2023 was supposed to be my year!  How is that, it’s already falling apart?  Probably 2024 is the one, isn’t it? I hope it is… We all have this feeling, don’t we? With every passing year, we hope it’s our year. A time when everything goes in your favour, major changes towards a promising future take place and life magically isn’t the same anymore.  While this is possible, it may not be feasible.  Everything is a mix of some happiness and sorrow . Having that heartbreak, which may not seem very healthy, is a long term benefit for oneself, that has taught a ton of lessons. Instead of consuming oneself for someone who wouldn’t even care, it’s better to get shattered all at once and start afresh. Not that everyone is soughed but sometimes it’s just people behave way too differently. That affects… Doesn’t it? Memories flash back and it gets difficult many a times.  Careers, missed opportunities, or just those targets to be achieved, become far fetched. It all seems ou...
