What right do I have
To feel sorry for myself
What right do I have
To be sad over petty things
Like how I’m insecure
Lonely
Bored
Lost
Afraid
When there are people out there
Facing greater pain than any human being deserves
Suffering beyond belief
In inconceivable circumstances
So what right do I have
To cry tonight
pause and be grateful. but try not to invalidate your feelings

I burn softly tonight: primal, pure, unrefined. I am alight with all that I could have been; with the past, the future, kindled by unspoken dreams.

And my mind whispers, my mind speaks to me:

~Do you remember all the weary souls that once roamed this land beneath your feet? Those who walked around you; the worn faces that weep and sing?~

Oh, for I am too a weary soul, resting my ear against the Earth,
and my smile spills truth and my ambition drifts somber
for all time

Written word used to be an
extension of my mind; my
       thoughts imprinted onto paper
   in neatly formed sentences.

but now                              
they are jagged
uneven.                    
         tired.
                      torn.
malformed.                    ­            
                               incomprehensible.

I can't seem to put the words
together into sentences that  
have meaning.                      

The razor edge of my words
cut me, bleed my body dry
until there's nothing left    
but dust.
I'm tired....

sometimes
i lay in bed
and
wonder

is this all that life is?

or is there some grandeur
some mystery purpose

that i'm too dumb to understand

People with the tired souls,
Are the most beautiful ones
to be with!
Even though they're totally empty,
All they do is "GIVE"!

They Give their smiles,
even though they're smileless!
They give their support,
even though they're supportless!

They are the ones,
who are in search of hope to live!
Everyday they sleep tried, thinking,
" why do I have to live ? "

Despite of no dreams and aspirations,
They still inspire others around!
They are filled with negativity within,
But always choose to spread happiness around !

These souls are always near us,
& are really difficult to identify!
Because they are the smarty ones,
Who can hide anything behind THEIR smiles!
Dear Readers,

The great singer Mukesh sir wisely sang the beautiful song written by
The great lyricist Shailendra sir,

"किसी की मुस्कुराहटों पे हो निसार
किसीका दर्द मिल सके तो ले उधार
किसीके वास्ते हो तेरे दिल में प्यार
जीना इसी का नाम है| "

This song inspired me to write a free verse
for all the lovely souls out there ! Who are tired but still have a smile that can heal others!

इसलिये ,ऐसी अद्भुत आत्माओं के लिए यह प्यारा वाक्य!,

"रिश्ता दिल से दिल के ऐतबार का
ज़िन्दा है आप सब से नाम प्यार का|🤗"

I hope yo guys like my next poem "Tired souls!"

#lotsoflove! <3
#dedicated ❤️❤️❤️

I’m tired
I’m tired of you
I’m tired of me
I’m tired of waking up every day, of this persistent exhaustion that never leaves
I’m tired of telling you I’m simply tired when what I really mean is that I’m tired of being alive.
Tired of living in this foreign body in this broken world
But you wouldn’t understand
So I’ll just say I’m tired
