Anisha Jose Poem
I am not perfect and nor are you,
I have fallen and so have you,
I have made my mistakes and so have you.
I have my weaknesses and so do you.
You may not have had the same experiences as mine.
Yet we have had our shares for rises and falls.
The point is: neither are you leading the same life, neither am I?
Then why do you mock me when I try to get up?
Why do you judge me when I try to lead my life?
Why do you pull me down each time I try to rise?
I do not want you to help me,
Nor do I want you to sympathize,
I just want to you let me lead,
The remaining life I have.
Let me rise above my imperfections,
Let me soar above my past,
Let me walk with the head held high,,
And let the chapters of my life fly by.
I do not want to be perfect,
I cannot be perfect,
I am perfectly imperfect.
That’s me… That’s who I am
Still growing, still learning, still living.

Anisha Jose Poem
I chose silence not because I didn't have an opinion.
I chose silence not because I didn't have thoughts.
I chose silence not because I couldn't express my feelings.
I chose it... because that's the only option I had!
I chose silence because they didn't want to hear the truth.
I chose silence because they were unable to face reality.
I chose silence because it crushed their egos.
I chose it... because that's the only option I had!
I chose silence to calm myself down.
I chose silence to let my anger subside.
I chose silence to keep my sanity.
I chose it... because that's the only option I had!
Many have mocked,
Many irritated,
Many have lost it and moved away,
I know silence ain't always Golden,
But, it was the only option I had!
