Give away attachments in favor of happiness. Attachment to her, Attachment to him, Attachment to things, Attachment to hope, dreams, and beliefs. Attachment makes you heavy. Attachment drains you. It holds you just tight enough to let you see the world, but not explore it. There was no emotional attachment it was just emotions. Attachments often make you weak once you become so attached to that person or anything that hurts when u lose it cause losing it makes u remember all those attachments all those feelings or those things that made you smile and now you lost all of them all at once and now you are blank lost everything only those memories and not the person just a few memories will vanish too but you won’t get those golden days back .what made us so weak that we rely on attachments so much that makes us so weak. When you love someone who doesn't love you back. You feel nothing but absolute pain and sorrow. You feel like there nothing left except the love that won't be taken. Your love is so strong and there’s so much that it floods you. It’s just because you attached so got hurt right? You start mentally torturing and hurting yourself well mental torture and pain hurts more than physical pain. Physical scars vanish someday but this mental pain that is in your mind hurts you more scars remain forever. Even if you want to remove it or forget those scars and memories you can’t it hurts so badly which makes you hurt those attachments almost **** you because you were so attached to that thing that now being without that is similar as a death cause you become so habitual to it that others remain useless and even if you want to change yourself it’s so difficult. The feelings we get when meeting someone new are hard to understand at times. But once we understand and when we get attached and when that person makes them your habit and then leaves. That moment is the most hurtful moment ever you numb don’t know how to react how to smile again how to be happy you can’t even fake a smile because it’s so difficult. Attachments and emotions go side by side cause its always you are emotionally attached that even a simple change in a person in whom you are attached can change your mood and emotional effect you just imagine a certain change can upset you and losing them affect you far more than you can imagine. We humans easily get attached and then hurt ourselves and then blame our luck no it’s our fault we allow someone something to be so attached that slight change in their behavior also hurts you It hurt right when u attached with the person who now taught you detachment nonattachments is so perfect freedom everywhere Happiness nothing that would hurt you Self-love is the best Attachments make u emotional sick attachment hurts so don’t get attached I know it sounds rude but all it means I don’t want anyone to feel the pain I already faced because I know how it feels and you know what? Don’t let any day go where your dedications to other peoples opinion are greater or maybe others opinion more important than your own happiness and decisions and don’t let anyone don’t let you fly you have your wings to fly others on your own and not after the approval of others you better get this. Well, I know attachments make you happy but it’s ready to give you pain anytime suddenly. Start loving yourself and see the difference how happy you be because self-love is the best love start loving yourself your imperfections and once you start loving your imperfections you will understand what’s love and what’s been loved because no one will love you how you love yourself so stop being your biggest rival by hating yourself and demotivating yourself. PART OF ME IS AFRAID TO GET CLOSE TO PEOPLE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THAT THEY ARE GOING TO LEAVE.

Chin up
What are you looking down on for?
I heard you were the winner of this contest
Why down
When you are already in the up

Your life is as high as the clouds
Tiptoeing on the gold
When every floor shines to you
People latch on you like a magnet
Hoping to leech off some basket of your talent
To me and the eyes of the envy, that is not humility
It is nothing but vanity

You have the neatest work
Organized and logical
Most understandable and desirable
You have the cheeriest face and smile
You have the coolest of fiercest lies
You have done the impossible
You have the peaceful of memorable
You have the breath freshing life
You have a simple but satisfying affection
You have somebody willing to sacrifice for you
Best of both worlds connection

You do not have a broken brain
That fluctuates on every thought train
To me, I see rain
Instead of the bow's grains
You do not faint
In world's every little madness added with vain

You stay rooted on your spot
Defending yourself even when the fire's hot
Dare playing forget-me-not
I ask myself everyday
Why cannot I be strong?
Why cannot I be independent?
Why cannot I be more talented?
Why cannot I be clean?
Why cannot I be innocent and still loved?
Why do I keep thinking?
Why cannot I just stop?
Why am I surviving?
Why
Why cannot be like them?
Why cannot I be like you

Always never enough
Improves but fails
Told to be yourself but I am tired of doing both the appropriating and the disappointing
Always hurt
Always inviting pain
Nothing to gain
With my self pitying
With my self degrading
Demotivating this miserably, hopelessly beating, drowsing heart
As I long stare on

Is it me
Is it you
Is it everybody
That I am crying out for this?
Repeating the celebrity thinking
To prevent sinking
You have to keep sailing in everyone's mingling
To forget what you are actually dancing
What you are living
Until you are completely failing
Fading
Because we are all missing something
Then blame it on everything

It is hard to maintain the:
"Just sing and soon everyone will respect you."
Jon York Nov 2021
The Sun will rise every day
and the moon will follow its course.

Let your shadow move where it will,
its magnitude decided by the Sun.

May you never be the reason why
someone who loved to sing, doesn't anymore.
Or someone who dressed so uniquely, now
wears plain clothing. Or why someone
who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams,
is now silent about them.

May you never be the reason someone gave up
on a part of themselves because you were
demotivating, non-appreciative, hypercritical,
or even worse - sarcastic about it.

Do not relentlessly try to understand.
Time itself will decide.
I will not be sad. It has been written for me.
My joy will come when it is time.

Who knows?
Honestly nobody does
The path that lies ahead
Can make you alive or dead

Can make you alive or dead
Dead, living but stuck on the same place
Alive, struggling to overcome difficulties
Alive, someday defeating all adversaries

Yeah, the path ahead may be ideal
Bright, warm, promising and sunny
Straight, smooth and not winding
A bit boring but hey its soothing

Want the truth?
It's usually never like that
What's ahead can be dark and eerie
Gloomy, hopeless, twisty and thorny

Wow writer, so much for inspire
Shhhhhh, keep reading
It's not easy to make these rhyme
So spare me some patience and time

Yeah yeah, I know.
Rather than the happy smooth drive
You get the stormy seas and skies
Want to know why?

What lies ahead will be a soul crusher
Your heart might waver, vision may falter
Emotions would fluster, strength could shatter
You'll be lost and tired, rest but don't surrender

Afraid?
Who isn't?
Isn't it scarier to live never finding out
Regret of lacking bravery but having an abundance of doubts

Yes the path can be demotivating
And absolutely overwhelmingly terrifying
But have you ever seen unguarded treasure?
Something amazing lies ahead, I'm sure.

It won't be easy
I wish it was but it usually won't
It's alright to be afraid and uncertain
Rest, clear your thoughts, then fight again.

You'd never know what's at the end
Without taking that first step
And to be continuously walking
So rest if you're tired but keep going

Two statements
Gods1son Mar 2019
Two statements that seem similar
But they induce opposite feelings
The first is, I am not good enough
And the second; I am not there, yet

The first one clips your wings down
stopping you from flapping and flying
It is demotivating and depressing
Do not use or believe it when used on you

The latter reminds you where you're headed
Like a kid that falls several times
before being able to walk smoothly
You will be there and even go beyond
So, crawl, walk, run and soar!

What is going on with this site?
Something just doesn't feel right
The views and notifications seem to have gone on a diet
Most works are now left hanging in the dark..no one shines on them a light
This is damaging and demotivating even to the ******* loyalists of this site
Whatever be the issue..it should at the earliest be sorted out.. 'Coz frankly this treatment of poets just ain't right

— The End —
