Listen

As I left the door ajar, 
as I stood under the stars,
as I stared at the moon afar,
As I glance at my foot, riddled with scars.
I asked the moon to listen as I gloomed.

As I spread my hands wide,
As I welcomed the rain with stride, 
As I let my feet slide, 
As I danced with my hair tied. 
I asked the rain to listen as I plumed. 

As I hugged the stem,
As the wind touches my dress's hem, 
As the leaf kissed my anadem,
As my eyes glittered like gems. 
I asked the tree to listen as I bloomed.

I closed my eyes

Opportunity presented itself 
I closed my eyes
Learning seemed hard
I closed my eyes
I pushed open a door to my new start
I closed my eyes
Nothing worked out 
I closed my eyes 
Facing my reality 
I closed my eyes 
Losing the worth for which I strived
Every waking moment my heart cried
However hard I tried 
I couldn't close my eyes.

Give Yourself Some Time

It's ok to give yourself some time 
Would you like to hear me rhyme
Hating yourself doesn't cost a dime
But it should pretty much be a crime.

It's ok to give yourself some time 
Are you afraid you are going to lose your prime
Don't be, as practice can make your work sublime
You are a gem hidden inside all that grime.

Resurging

I ask for all the pain,
My potential is bound in the chain,
I ask for all the struggle,
My wings caught in rubble.

I ask for all the tears,
More than my eyes bears,
I ask for all the challenges,
In silence my mind plunges.

I ask you to break my will,
At the bottom of the hill I lay still,
But I will make sure to rise,
For my dreams, I want to realise.

What is love

I wonder what is love,
Is it a lovely little dove
That is sent from above,
Bringing protection from the shove.

Is it my mom's warm embrace, 
Or my dog's charming face,
Is it almighty's beautiful grace,
Or a peaceful little space.

Some would say it's an illusion,
For some, it's a solution,
Everyone has their own conclusion, 
But they all say love is nothing but confusion.

A mouse with the hat

I snuck around the kitchen 
Hiding behind the walls
"NO STEALING PIE" mom had warned me 
But I won't listen, nothing wrong with having extra pie
So I reached out for the pie
But suddenly I witnessed A MOUSE with the Hat
It ran upstairs causing havoc 
"Mother, brother is stealing pie."
Oh what luck, mission unsuccessful
Surely nobody would ask why the mouse was roaming around.

Hope for peace

Distruction and chaos
Brings pain and suffering
Enveloping everything in darkness
Echoes of screams in every corner
Fear reflecting in the eyes
Binding thoughts that long to soar

It is said after the end comes the beginning 
After death, a new life
We will hold onto hope
But how when it comes with a price 

Yet, hope is what we hold 
The faith that we have 
Nothing can shake it 

We will keep trying
No matter the times
We will hope for peace
No matter the price
We will raise our voice
A chorus of change


A new beginning 
Or a new way of thinking 
Whatever brings peace 
We will strive for it.

In 3 minutes

What could I write in 3 minutes,
Maybe about a hot cup of tea
Spreading its aroma,
Or the blue sky that is inviting me to fly 
Or the time that is running out.

Sorry

Sorry... 
Indeed a miracle word,
How much relief it gives, 
The one who says and the one who receives.
How wondrous, 
As it could break down walls,
Melts the ice,
Brings out a smile,
Makes everything nice.
Truly magical, 
The only condition that it poses,
That brings arguments to a close,
Is that it should come from within,
From the sincerest part of your being.

Self love

Have you ever wondered why,
Why would people love you?
Why would they care?
Why would you be worth the effort?

Then also wonder why...
Why should you not love yourself?
Why should you not care?
Why are you not worthy?

If love comes with a condition,
Why would it be love?
At least you should not put conditions,
In your path of self-love.

Give yourself a chance,
Like you have given others,
If you think they deserve it,
Then tell me why you don't.

However you look,
Whatever you have done,
Others put conditions,
Nature has put none.
