Nandita Arekkara Poem
My mind was racing..heart was losing
When did I reach here?
How did I reach here?
Where was all that faith, hope,pride I had in my man
As my heart sank faith held on..
Hope cried for a last chance
Why don’t you leap for this special man
Mind cautioned,heart could bleed but you’re the genie in the bottle
You ain’t allowing your smiles to throttle
Cheerful mindful watchful you have always been
You have experienced the odds and unforeseen.
Let your hair down..dance with pride
Look into the eyes of Hope
Smile and remind Hope that once upon a time tears had dried.
Accept heart tried more than it could cope.
Gather the pride faith hope and all the kindness that was always yours.
People failed to understand you..understand they were never yours.

Nandita Arekkara Poem
“I ain’t happy in this relationship.”said he
“Go with the flow don’t drown is this sea.”
Does that mean he doesn’t enjoy my company?
Or does that say “You are just amongst the many.”
He is distant and cold
Hurtful and bold
Not willing to comprehend that his words cut deep
Doesn’t his heart ache anymore to see his love weep?
When you are willing to hurt the other person it’s a facade
It’s not an effort not the truth but an inert voice calling discard.
When the novelty dies you ain’t cute
Your heart cries but he turns deaf and mute.
You doubt yourself sinking in grief
“You don’t interest me” he said that in brief.
“How long will you live in denial accept the fact you aren’t the damsel I desire.
You were pretty and sweet a girl I never thought I would meet but now I see those tears and doubts..your anxiety and your thoughts.”
“I choose happiness and sanity above all and you’re too much of work but still I gave it all.
I realise I can’t fix you but I don’t want to hurt you.
Why don’t you just pack and leave
Think of it as a good learning..not sit by the tombstone and grieve.”
Am I the damsel in distress?
I know I overthink and sink in stress.
Nobody struggles more than me
I fight these thoughts that are eating me.
Wishing and whining our life will end
Walking on eggshells how do you intend to mend..?
Picking those broken pieces holding it close to the chest
Sewing it up all as it still belongs to my nest.

Nandita Arekkara Poem
Walking through a thick jungle
I never had a reason to smile
Thought life is full of grumble
With only thorns pricking every mile.
I walked in fear
Prayed “O God I wish you were here.”
If someone could wipe those tears
Tell me “ Fear not your future is not hazy but clear .”
When will this society accept me
Stop the abuse and respect me
Recognize my talent ain’t disown me
Say not “you are stoic “ but embrace me
I am a daughter a sister a friend
I crave for a society where norms aren’t biased or opportunities won’t end.
Name it an illusion or my blinded vision
But when I stand in front of a mirror
I see myself clad in an armour
With unwavering faith and achievable mission
A blessed world filled with love and laughter.
