I can be a leader.
I do not need to follow the actions and behaviors of others.
What harm?
Oh, but what gain?
I am fierce
With a lot to say,
A lot of love
And a lot of passion.
Simple pleasures
And little disappointments.
Just be who I want to be,
Not what others see;
What others want me to be.
I am more than a perception.
I am loud and proud,
Bold and fearless.
I have a courage
And strength that is limitless.
I am learning to vocalize my boundaries;
Free from guilt and shame.
There is an ocean inside me that you cannot tame.
My waters run deep
You merely tread the surface.
I know who I am
And I will take up space.
Breathless and discouraged,
I will still run the race.
Dip your feet in the edge of my waters
And let me wash over you.
Familiarize yourself with the polarity
Of my sensations.
I will not let you down.
I will not let you drown
If you meet me without malice.
Dare.
Do.
2025,
oh wish I could say you were perfect,
but with the weight in my heart,
and this tears that fall tremendously,
I fail to say so,
how I wish you would have been even a little easy on me,
easy with the pain,
with the disappointmets,
easy with the losses ,
then perhaps I would still laugh,
still I'm glad that I made it into this year broken but alive,
you were not the best but in you came out reflections,
phases,
and you taught me self love,
2026 please come lighter,
brighter and the most important happier.
Hey...Let me remind you
No one is there for you
The world is full of evil's
It's difficult to find among them, real who?
Never give them those rights
which can harm you
You are your happiness of true
So..be always youu
_Diksha B.
Her inability to love.
Love like bitter sweet honey,
Humming to the song of her heart,
One she has long forgotten the lyrics.
A reminisced feeling of sealed Déjà vu.
And she struggles.
At sight of change,
Freedom of her own mind.
Inability broken.
She is afraid.
A violent ringing in her ears.
Her hearts song screams
As she willingly closes the door
With a tender smile.
I always had that inner quality of putting others first
I'll become anything needed from a mom to a nurse
I'm so busy with others that i don't get what i need
I think it's about that time that i just focused on me
Venture out and go places and see more sights
Enjoy my own bonfire along with the night star light
There's many things that i wish I had personal time to do
Putting myself second is the reason i don't have a clue
If the other people were happy was always my concern
Self help before helping others is what i have to learn
It's ok to be there for others but you have to be happy too
If others are content why would they think about you
I have helped others and have done many good deeds
I think it's about that time that i just focused on me.
My muse me muse you amuse me.
My muse me muse we amuse unity.
My muse me muse we sometimes amuse abuse.
My muse me muse we amuse our children with charity.
My muse me muse we amuse dying as an art of living.
My muse me muse we amuse gratitude.
My muse me muse we amuse reading.
My muse me muse we amuse learning from each other.
My muse me muse me amuse peers as friends.
My muse me muse we amuse pure joy in each.
My muse you muse we amuse inspiration from everyone.
Me muse me muse we amuse self acceptance as our normality.
You amuse me I muse, we amuse self-appreciation and love for me and you all.

My loves, please love yourself first.
Make yourself a priority.
Plan for all your dreams.
Don’t give away your light and dreams.
Make all of life like a dream.
Filled with love and memories that will last a lifetime.
Shine your light so bright that your heart will stay warm for life.
Love can be used to deceive.
They use words to achieve their plan.
The plan of love, it seems, but later you learn they only want to deceive.
To take control of your life and make you sad and cling to life.
They do this with such delight; they smile and give you feelings of love.
Yet the whole time, they have a plan.
The plan to cause you great pain.
Stay in the light and learn the signs, stay clear of all that work for evil and bad intent.
Stay in God's prayers and stay in love with yourself.
Don’t let anyone steal your light.
You are so loved by God and need to stay in the light.
did you wake today as someone else
the one who hides what she can't mend?
who once ran wild toward open doors
but now just breaks and learns to bend?
do you remember how it felt
to dream without a second guess?
before the noise & before the guilt
before survival meant this mess?
when did you trade your rest for rush
your joy for tasks that drain you thin?
when did you start to shrink yourself
just to be worthy & just to win?
no shame for getting lost like this
but tell me love, when all is through
if your soul asked who you became
would you still recognize it’s you?
"Painful"
"Unworthy"
You question why you exist
Loathing
Self-Pity
Its lies you cannot untwist
Empathy
And reason
They bid farewell
As love
And self-esteem
Also parallel
Negativity fills faster than adipose cells
Mademoiselle
Are you truly well?
No
It takes courage to say
To seek closure
To make way
For much needed composure
Then realisation sweeps in
That our rejection is from deep within
If we never love, if we never care
We cease to be human
We fail to be fair
To our infinite inner beauty
To our imperfect self found nowhere
Take care and repair
For rejection is not the end of thy flair
Flyin' so low you can barely see
That flying solo is the way to be
Marry yourself and you will see
The whole E-graphic image that you be.
I am the Goat,
Of my own breed.
I am the soil,
Of my own kind,
I make the earth.
I am tranquil, the only human I look up to.
The only thing that matters.
Shake me? The world won't dare!!!
For, I am a powerful force.
I fight with intention,
I roll with abstraction.
I Tiptoe on the route to my destiny,
And strike with assassination.
Become heat, for the forge,
so that the armor you bear will shine brightly.
Your soul maketh radiance unmatched,
so as the sunrise does lick over the lakes.
Be mindful, yet indeed gaze,
for the path ahead blazes with flames.
Control your fear from the terrifying heat,
the armor, you can assure, is resilient.
Be proper, also be fully patient,
light hath forged your armor and you are strong.
Life shall pay the fortune your heart lacks,
and I do hope this warms and soothes your soul.
I forgive others
I forgive myself
Time to move on
Doors shut, New ones open
I finally accept who I am
We are a small part of God's plan
I accept myself and what God has created me to be
Some people just can't stand the light in me
Im not normal nor am I meant to be
And now I see that there is nothing wrong with me
I see this now
Right now, I don't have any more strength to deal with other's insecurities
I can barely deal with my own
I know I'm not alone
The spirit of God is with me
He was always with me
Hey girl!
Sleeping with a heavy heart still?
Unquestionably, I understant!
I understand the anxiety,
the pain, the depression
of things not going your way.
Unquestionably, I understand!
I understand the weight,
the suffocation, the desolation.
But hold up still,
Wipe off tears still,
And Hit the road,
For, the journey ain't over yet!!!
