Don't know if I am too weak
or too **** stark,
to not feel hatred against
the one who broke my heart.
Ruhani Feb 2019
My broken dreams
are kept between,
yellowed pages of the book
like a dried flower.
I still want to smell
fragrance of the zeal
I used to put
to achieve those dreams.
But holding in my hand
I realized how brittle they are,
even to think about it
shatters my heart.

There is Me
and there is Another Me.
Another Me is superior to Me
But it is Me,
Who wants Another me
to be superior to Me.
To feel highly
To achieve overtly
Look gracefully
Speak commanding
Be loved deeply
Head held high
In the runs of society
But Another Me
is pushing Me
To feel lowly of myself
Because Me is simply
Happy in even less than
Worldly.
Me cannot be Me
If trying to be Another Me
and Another Me won't leave Me
until she becomes supremely
Torn between these two
is only ME.

Of all the things about you,
I miss your gentle snores,
Like the purring of a kitten,
I felt safe and at peace.

I love the sharpness of my pencil
how it moves to the rhythm of the words
how it groves deep inside the paper
how it explores the emotions of the writer
I love the sharpness of my pencil

I love the softness of my pencil
it flows like air when writing a love letter
it twists and turns to pause on the right matter
how it can start all over
when you don't like the endings
I love the softness of my pencil
writing with pencil takes out a whole new plethora of emotions.

Always find the best in you
Life has not ended
yet, it has just started.
There is a constant struggle everyday,
to stand up from the sleep
Each day a battle is fought
by the night you see defeat.
But do not believe,
that it will end some day.
It will go on and on and on
until you learn to fight back
and win, finally .
Because we are slated to win
eventually
That's why it repeats everyday
struggle is real,
like a slotted game plan.
a motivational note to self.

What do you like? morning or evening
I said, sometimes morning sometimes evening
What do you like? summer or winter
I said, sometimes summer sometimes winter  

and when he asked, happiness or sadness
I couldn't choose
If life makes me happy
I have to feel agony.
words of wisdom from a saint
