If I were a person stronger than myself
My insecurities would disappear
Would you hear worried absurd thoughts
If murmured into your ear?

You would be horrified to learn
The madness running my brain
If I was less crazy my head would be too
It's a shame that instead I am insane.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Take me by my hand,
for one last time,
before you watch me burn!

In a foreign land,
hanging onto my last dime,
I eagerly await your return!!

Remember the day
you had touched my lips,
with a vow to not let go of me again!

But hey oh hey,
like a coin that flips,
you had left me all alone in the pain!!

A bit of peace,
in your arms so strong,
I had badly craved for just one touch!

Still afraid of the love that cease,
like the one talked about in a song,
I was willing to give you so much!!

Take me by my hand,
for one last time,
cause now I am going to a point of no return!!

In a foreign land,
hanging onto my last dime,
I take your leave as for you my heart no more yearn!!!

When will I realize that I wasn't the main character of a movie
That I can never be a part of people's memories

When will I realize I'm not a supporting character of a tv series
That I'm only important when people have queries

When will I realize I'm not a scenery nor a sound effect

When will I realize that I'm only a credit scene
The unattractive, full of words, boring, credit scene
The scene people will never pay any attention to
The scene where words are so small, you don't hear me crying
The scene where people say, "thank you for making this show"
But never really remember the names

When will I learn to love myself as a credit
When will I learn to accept that a credit is just as important
Even though I'm boring, unattractive and unwanted

inside of that bud
my affection grew
as the summer had passed

like
love learns to wait
like
love learns to listen
and
a heart
that flows like the wave of the ocean
as each time it cross on my path
it reminded me of you
sailing
across the blue horizon
does
my love for you reflects
to the sound of my soul
it tap me outside
of my comfort
that dances freely
that sings confidently
that all i can see is
the light of the sun that comes after me

in the garden
you bloom so beautifully.

I'm a wondering soul,
      That has no footsteps
To call my own.  

All you step is on imprints
                           Of the past,
Showing  you the right steps to take...

Held mama’s hand , Off to school

SOME FOLK THINK THERE CLEVER
SOME FOLK THINK THEY KNOW
ITS THE QUESTIONS WE ANSWER
IT'S THE EMOTIONS WE SHOW

A QUESTION FOR EVERYONE ?
ADMIT YOU DONT KNOW !
THEN YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWER
ONLY THEN YOU CAN START TO GROW

can anyone tell me how to love?
can anyone show me how to feel?
because from all the things I've learnt
none of it seems to be real

None has told me how to act
non one has taught me how to laugh
All the things I've been doing
were from watching, and hardly learning

memories how to act
memories how to look
don't understand any of it,
but it doesn't matter does it?

If only I was able
to understand and know
just why we act the way we do
I'd be considered normal too

So teach me how to live
my life the way i want
because without all I've never been taught
there is only mockery inside me

She was taking a break
Breathing
Processing
Laughing
Trying to be present
She was sad
She wanted to be balanced
She stretched and smiled first thing every day
She took a deep breath
When things didn't go her way
Because she was in charge
Of her body and mind
Her soul is hers
And didn't have to be defined
She was growing up
And gave herself something
She should have been given when was young
Support to be her fiercest her
And validation she was worthy
Worthy of that degree
Worthy of her body
Worthy of her mind  
Worthy of the people she accepted into her life
Worthy of those who loved her
And of who she loved
She learned to be proud
She fought her demons to be here
She was grateful for those who lent a hand
She learned to listen
She learned to give
And not expect it back
To file the clutter of her mind
She learned to love

        herself
