How Do You Feel

I feel suspicious of those who walk by
And glance at me with sweet smiles
As I have had poison hurled upon my face
By those who would deem to tell me
That my new clothes look so nice on me!

I feel impatient,
While waiting for what is to come
I have been yearning for same
Since months and their realisation
Seems to be taking ages,
Bidding me to feel so bored when
I sit in my secret garden and smell
The sweet aroma of my favourite flowers!

I feel weak
As my body has entered into the old age process
Pushing me to adjust my routine;
No more can I walk for two hours
No more can I claim intense fitness
Rather, I now have to take supplements
And make sure I eat on time
And get enough rest!

I feel grateful
At the many opportunities that life 
Has given to me
Even if I wish for more so as
To be the best version of what I can be!

I feel calmed though
At reading spiritual verses
Enouncing of the many blunders
That await me in this world
While painting the many perfections
Of the spiritual one
I feel calmed
And tell myself
That I am an ocean;
Sometimes raging, sometimes polluted,
Sometimes calm and all I have to do
Is to move along with the many tides
That ebb through me!
