Look close
And you shall see
Everything she wishes to be.
A woman of strength.
Of Patience.
And of Courage.
Yet all she sees is Me.

Look close
And you shall see
Beyond those fearless eyes
lies a world of mystery.
A no-man’s land
For those who never believed.

Look close
And you shall see
Beyond that lovely smile
lies the hurt she yearns to leave.
Yet in all her years,
she just never healed.

Look close
And you shall see
A past,a history
she chose not to reveal.
But to live her life
with the same unbreakable zeal.

Look close
And you shall see
Just what she has achieved.
She has everything
But what she needs.

Look close
And you shall see
Honesty rings in her every word
In every syllable.
Yet in her story,
she has always been deceived.

Look close
And you shall see
Behind those little moments of silence
lies a thought of a dream.
A dream to land among the stars
And see what never could be.

Look close
And you shall see
She is everything She has ever wanted to be.
Me.

Love.
Close your eyes and let this feeling consume you.
Let it drown out those voices, those cries and let there be the music of silence.
Let it wash away the worries of tomorrow, of yesterday and let you live this moment without regrets.
Let it feed on the years of hurt, on the aching pain, on the tears that never shed.
Let it engulf your senses and numb the anger.
Let the sheet of darkness fall to the floor to reveal the beauty, the beauty of you.
Let it spin your perspective of the world, of your life.
Let it spiral into yourself, into the depths of your heart.
Let it light up your life, your faith, your hope.
Let it breathe and spread across your body.
Close your eyes and let this feeling consume you.
Love.

You are a princess
They tell us
And we begin to believe
That a charming young man
On a white horse
Is our destiny.

And the years go by
While we patiently wait
For our one true love,
Making so many mistakes in between.
But never giving up that thought
Of our beautiful dream.

Until the day comes
When we are so terribly deceived.
The one who we thought
Would be ours forever
Leaves.

And that is the day
We realize
How foolishly we believed
That we were princesses
And a charming young man
On a white horse was our destiny.

So we pick up the pieces of
Our shattered life
And start a new belief.
‘We are not princesses ‘
We tell them.
And we will not wait
For the men to set us free.

Instead from now on,
We shall take matters
Into our own hands,
And be the reason of a new era
The one not based on ‘he'.

What is done can not be undone.
What is broken can not be fixed.
What is loved can not be hated,
No matter how hard you try.
Aakriti Tayal Jan 2013
Will you come home with me?
Even when I’m broken as one can be.

Will you kiss the scars?
And heal the hurt on this heart.

Will you teach me patience?
And how to take the right stance.

Will you be kind?
Cross your heart and hope to die.

Will you love the world?
For all that it’s worth.

Will you forgive this mistake?
And light my way.

Will you stay?
Forever this way.

— The End —
