"gogri" poems
Go,tell your mom how beautiful she looks,
wearing an apron and chopping a tomato
or simply just adore the way she cooks.
Go,tell a knock-knock joke to your dad
or start a tickle fight with baseless laughter so tight,
but take a picture, while he laughs like a little child
because this magical moment would be the only reason you smiled.
Just sit with your grandparents for a while when they tell you,
all the embarrassing childhood things that you did
go knitting and gardening with your grandma today,
or just paint her nails, while she tells you her young age tales.
Go,tell your siblings how supportive they've been;
maybe in growing up or a career to begin,
maybe by giving a much needed Choco chip ice cream after a breakup or just a shoulder to lean.
Reminisce those beautiful old days with your friends over your go-to chai ki tapri
thank them for always sticking around
may it be
from the first day at school, the endless gossips, the after class fun ,college fests to a legit job interview
Celebrate when your friend's youtube channel hits1k,
appreciate them when they bake a cake for the first time,
listen up while they tell you something very dear,
dance and sing with them while they are ******* euphoric.
just be with them in their thicks and thins and remember how they have been there too.
because amidst the hustle,
our hearts will only be pacified by these little gestures, small appreciations and the feeling of being connected to the people we love,
maybe its about loving and showing love that our hearts will always crave for.

i am full of ideas and passion ,
just waiting to set the stage on fire.
i am the bud, just waiting to bloom into a beautiful flower.
i am the sun that shows up everyday,
all shiny and glittery.
i am that written piece , just waiting to turn into a beautiful poem.
i am colours that just needs to be poured on a canvas and turn into a bright fluid art.
i am that one push needed
i am not giving up on myself , never
i have wonders to make and dreams to wake.

Today i found in me a tree growing
deeper , happier and better
Where the cold breeze of courage , endurance and confidence touched the warmth of my cheeks
How in firmness, its leaves taught me to remain soft
From years now i remember planting this tree
but self- doubt and anxiety
took the water and sunlight
I wonder how could I ever grow
For years I've been trying to look perfect for others
and never for myself
Asking a hundred others
how do i look today ?
and never myself
How I've been living inside my body
and never loving it
Today i want to feel
i want to feel and embrace
the deepest parts of it
i want to smile and smile until my cheeks hurt
i want to love myself more and more today!
