Meera
He doesn't burn photographs
He doesn't join therapy sessions
He doesn't smoke too many cigarettes
Nor he drown himself into alcohol
He scratches his wounds daily
And never let them heal
He doesn't try to get rid of the pain
Instead he let it grow on him
He waters the seed of sorrow with his tears
He feeds it with the manure of old memories
He takes it to sleep with him
And nurtures it in himself
Till the moment when every single drop of his blood gets replaced by this pain
Until his fragile heart can bear no more
And his soul starts overflowing with emotions
That's when he dip his pen into this pain
And empty his heart on a piece of paper
He bares his soul for us to feel
He creates poetry that the world would cherish for centuries to come
That's how true poetry comes into existence
Love is not blind,
but he who did not see your worth.

Doubting
Arguing
Nagging
Pushing

This, this isnt us
Should we be

Supporting
Caring
Loving
Pulling?

That, that is obvious
Isnt it?
do a lot
but receive little

Some
do little
but receive a lot

Some girls
live in castles

Some
live in castles
in the clouds

Some girls
are shy

Some
are proud

Some girls
are smiling
out loud

Some
are smiling
behind clenched teeth

Those girls –
you wouldn’t like to meet
