The sea of people swarming
seem oblivious to my feelings
which swell, inundating my soul.
The tussle continues unabated
my thoughts scream yet,
the deaf ears do not heed
each one, engrossed in their bubble.
My mind plays diabolic games,
I wallow in guilt and self pity.
The unsaid words are imprisoned
within the walls of despondency
refusing to let the ray of light enter
before spiraling into an emotional abyss.
Life is a constant learning,
experience the greatest teacher.
Finally,
I have learnt to listen to my heart.
Pleasing others is not a priority anymore,
for
I have realized over time,
that in doing so, I lost myself.
Now I collect the fragments of me
join them together,
Oh! It may not be perfect,
but it is me.
I let my imperfections define me,
my identity is who I am,
and now,
I have learnt to carry it with pride!
Silent tears flowing
crashing waves against the shore
meandering butterflies
halcyon breeze of the eventide
twinkling stars outside the window
undulating emotions of the mind
reflections in the bare mirror
the quietude in solitude
reveries of the subconscious
behavior of our body
paths we tread on
vibrations of the cosmos
a mere touch, a look, a hum
all whisper secret messages to us,
if only we have the ear to hear them!
