I have traveled through eons to find you.
How can I not be filled with gratitude to be beside you?
Still, the worst of me gets the best of me at times
Demanding things to be a certain way
I get amnesia time & again
The essence gets blurry
I forget that I am here to give 💛

Oh, how I wish I could show you all the love I have in my heart for you
how I wish I could hold your hand in mine & make you feel that you aren’t alone
how I wish I could look into your eyes
to find that little ray of hope,
that spark of life that’s still in there somewhere ✨

Sometimes I write poems.
Sometimes I become one.

It has taken me years of love to realise the reality of beauty,
that it does not lie on my skin, but sprouts from my mind & soul within.

That being beautiful,
It is not just about a flawless face
Trust me, it's not “cover up your flaws with make up - race”
It is not just smooth hairless skin
It is not just scarless knees & shiny shins
It is not just for bodies tall & slender pose
It is not just for long lashes & on fleek eyebrows
It is not just about a gap between your thighs
Trust me & Chill,
It is not just for plump lips & blue eyes

But Beauty is,
how selflessly you love
how gently you care
how curiously you wonder
how cheerfully you smile
how openheartedly you laugh
how meaningfully you converse
how strongly you feel every emotion
how instantly you connect with every other soul

& most important of all,

Beauty is how bravely you dare to love yourself
even when you believe you are far away from perfect,
in a world, where everyone else seems to be gorgeous.

For the same reason, I believe
We ourselves are the most beautiful person we will ever meet.

Note: to the beautiful person who just read this piece.

Now on, when you see yourself in the mirror
Don’t you dare just see the skin,
But see the entirety of you that lies within
Don’t you dare forget to smile & remind yourself everyday

 “*******, You are beautiful. You effing slay!”

I heard writing helps.
I heard people say just write
"write about what hurts"

write about the gruesome pain
write about the mental never ending rain
write about those secret tears you shed
write about the storms in your head
write about the 2 am thoughts that dont let you sleep
write about the dark memories you keep
write about those scars you daily hide
write about the reasons for your puffy eyes
write about that strange addictive ache
write about your forced smiles, just for their sake
write about those fading, yet haunting dreams
write about your quiet 3 am screams...

Just write, Just write
They said
But little do they know
For me, what lays ahead.

Every time I put my pen to the fresh sheet of paper
These fingers only trace our name together
On the second line, they still want to write....
forever and ever.

NOTE to the judges:



Before you judge me,

for being too thick, too thin

too manly or too feminine

too shy, too wild

too dark or too white



too simple, too fake

By no means, your piece of cake.

too short or too tall

Never enough,  giving it all.



My net worth, before you guess,

I thought I'd just let you know this.



" I wasn't born to please your eyes,

I was born to be magic in disguise."
