The dry leaves are shaken off by the wind
The wind softly whispered in the tired of the dizzy climate
The land regenerates willingly on the animals that inhabit it
The leaves are ready and willing to be eaten by insects, worms and slugs

Trees that soar high reaching the sky have been tested by various storms as if they are still strong even though they are old but still protect every habitat below them
His organs seemed willing to die and regenerate because that was the sacrifice of his life
When the harvest season arrives, it's not uncommon for him to be ****** or his branches deliberately broken to get something, but he still reciprocates by giving the fruits he produces.
His sacrifice will still not be in vain and while expressing gratitude to the Creator for what has been given

He is the only one who lives in that area
Others have died to life, or have even been cut down by humans in the name of civilization
He is still a tree and will never turn into an animal
But with gratitude and reverence for his environment he is willing to stay silent and only move upwards to welcome the sunlight
“Tough Tree” symbolizes resilience, sacrifice, and gratitude through the life of a steadfast tree. Despite facing harsh winds, storms, and human harm, the tree remains strong and continues to give—offering shade, fruit, and protection to the creatures around it. Its fallen leaves and decaying parts nourish the earth, showing its selfless cycle of giving. Even when isolated and surrounded by destruction in the name of progress, the tree endures with quiet dignity, expressing gratitude to the Creator and growing ever upward toward the light. The poem conveys a deep message about endurance, humility, and harmony with nature.
They will never choose me.
I’ve finally accepted that truth.
Not because I am lacking,
but because what I carry was never meant to fit inside their vision.

They will never choose me,
and yet, I will not wither.
I will not beg.
I will not keep knocking on a door
that was never built to open for me.

I once thought their yes mattered.
I once thought their approval was the key.
But I’ve learned that the only yes I need
is the one I give to myself.

So let them keep their silence.
Let them keep their absence.
Let them stay comfortable overlooking what they do not understand.

Because I am no longer waiting.
I am no longer hoping.
I am no longer measuring my worth by their choice.

One day, perhaps, they will see what they passed by.
One day, they might wonder what it would have been like
to stand beside me.
But by then, I will be gone
not bitter, not broken,
but whole.

Because the truth is simple:
I was never meant to be chosen by them.
I was always meant to be chosen by me.
This piece is not about bitterness, it’s about freedom. “They Will Never Choose You” is a reminder that being overlooked does not make you less. Sometimes, not being chosen is the greatest gift, because it pushes you to choose yourself. And in that choice, you find strength, peace, and a life that no one can take away.

"Some people just can't resist your smile,talent and happiness for no reason."
Some people won't need a reason—
your smile will irritate them,
your talent will threaten them,
and your happiness will unsettle them.
But that says more about their emptiness than your brightness.
Keep shining anyway.

Sacrifices
Painful, yet worthy.
Exist in every aspect of life.
As a child,
some fun if health doesn't permit.
As a teenager,
sacrificing extracurriculars to fulfill parents' expectations.
As an adult,
leaving passions to drown in a stressful job in order to lift responsibilities.
As a partner,
sacrificing one’s own wishes to prioritize partner's likes and dislikes.
As a parent,
keeping personal luxuries aside to uplift children happily.
Sacrifices—
even though seem tough to do,
give a sense of calm and content after seeing later results.
They hurt in the moment, but heal in the long run.
From childhood to parenthood, sacrifices silently shape us—painful, yet profoundly purposeful.

"We can’t blame our fate nor the destiny everytime. Just accept everything and move forward with a smile."
Acceptance isn’t weakness —
It’s the strength to walk ahead without carrying the weight of “why me?”

He need not bring us luxuries,
As he never failed to fulfill our needs even without asking;
He need not be taking us on holiday,
As the quality time he spends with us is more than enough;
He may not take us to restaurants often,
As his handmade dosas never fail to taste delicious;
He may not be fashionable and trendy,
As he never judged our fashion sense;
He need not give us valuables,
As he gave us enough value education;
He may not be by our side always,
As he taught us well to stand on our own feet and to face the society;
He may not hold power in the community,
As he earned immense respect with his kindness and ethics;
He may not teach us how to make money;
As he never forgot to teach us how to save it;
He may not work in a reputed organization,
As all he care about is his family and not money or his career growth;
He may not be expressive,
As we can witness it in his actions;

He may not be anything as he is everything for us!!
And admiring his contribution may take my whole life.

I may never express to him how much I admire him, care for him and love him;
But one fine day, I will convey him how much his happiness means to me through my success.
Not all heroes wear capes—some wear simple shirts, carry the weight of the world silently, and smile when you succeed.
This is for him—the father whose love is unspoken but deeply felt.
The one who gave us everything while expecting nothing.
One day, I’ll show him what his silent sacrifices meant—through my success, and my strength.

“People are always there to judge… but I’m not here to collect their judgments.”
Walk your path with pride. The noise around you? Just echoes that don’t matter.
Arna May 20
If a person is sharing his/her personal secrets with you,
they do it with trust and not hope of gaining sympathy or support.
You really don’t need to feel their problems.
Just be with them and assure them that no matter what the future holds, you’ll be always there by their side in all times.
"When someone opens up their soul to you, they’re not seeking your sympathy — they’re offering their trust. You don’t need to fix their pain or carry their burdens. Just be there, fully and truly. Sometimes, presence speaks louder than any words ever could."
Cadmus May 19
You think this is a tantrum?

Child

This is the wrath of gods
who waited centuries
before they raised their hand.

I am not your wounded girl.
I am Nemesis unchained,
Kali in stillness before the storm.
My silence was mercy.
You mistook it for peace.

I do not wail. I summon.
I do not flinch. I fracture.
Your name is already ash
on the altar of my patience.

I offered grace.
Now I offer consequence.

Run if you like.
Pray if you must.
But even Olympus learned
no one walks away
from a goddess enraged.
Anger, when divine, doesn’t shout. It judges. And every empire built on dismissal learns the cost of silence misread.
