Daily Prompt: Above

via Daily Prompt: Above

We sometimes, wake up to a bright morning,

And are left with a dry sunny afternoon,

We welcome the evening gather of rain clouds above us,

To join in for a jiggle with the cool breeze and dance in the rain.

Sometimes, we wake up to a dull morning,

And be with an equally lazy afternoon,

Evening too, decides to be in the cocoon,

We just need to take it easy,

Than moping around in vain.

Some days we wake up to a cheerful morning,

And a busy packed afternoon,

An evening leads to a sudden untoward strike from life,

We need to let the truth seep in and soak the pain.

As we undertake the journey to live life,

We may experience bit of sunshine and a bit of rain,

We need to learn to be alive, before we wait to die ,

We need to enjoy with family and friends,

Than to repent later and call life a bane !!

Walk a while…

via Daily Prompt: Confess and Cozy

Walk a mile, for a while,

With your pain, with your anger,

With your mental hurt, which makes you ponder,

Do not carry them for long,

For they are not meant to come along,

As you climb the rungs of the ladder,

To reach your destination for this life.

Confess to your own inner self,

Get cozy and friendly with your own higher self,

Let go of the hurt, pain anger and angst,

Which lays buried deep within the dungeon of the mind and soul,

Release the toxic thoughts and let them roll,

Trick them and get them out for a walk,

In the bright sunshine and fresh air,

Let them blow and burn down,

Be free, and walk a mile for a while,

For it will do good for your heart and soul !!

 

What is your pain measurement?

via Daily Prompt: Varnish

Sugar coat the harsh words,

Cover all the aches and pains hiding in the dark dungeon of your heart with a coat of varnish,

Plaster the anger and jealousy and put up your best self forward,

Hide all negative and suppressed  emotions, unexpressed  and unspoken words in the underground prison of your mind, project a smiling face,

And present the perfect, unblemished facade to mask the internal anguish !!

How many of us are guilty of presenting ourselves, thus, with somebody or the other, due to some compulsion?

You are worth it !!

via daily prompt :overcome

 

When a needle pricks you, only you feel the pain. Others can only sympathize with you. When you bruise yourself in the process of your day to day work, only you can feel the pain. Others can only comfort you. When you feel hurt, something pricks you deep within the heart.  This pain deep within, is solely yours. Nobody can help you in carrying that load of pain.

When something deeply hurts you, you feel very small, insignificant and worthless. Everything around you starts to feel hollow and worthless. People, relationships, feelings, emotions, values everything goes for a toss. In this whole process, the pain is only and only caused to you. It is you, who has allowed the other person to empty out his/her garbage onto you-Sometimes, you don’t have a choice, especially, if it’s your boss at the other end. You have been the recipient of the flurry of harsh words meted out at you or you are feeling the pain of a loved one not inquiring about you, or your teacher rebuking you. You are feeling awful about this. I’m sure, most of us have been here, gone through this at some point in life.

Sometimes, such things happen, and you do feel the pain and burden deep within. You cannot control the words and action of another person who has treated you thus, but you and only you can control the way you want to feel about and after this experience and here, you have a choice..

The only way to heal the scar on your heart or overcome this, is to let go. By letting go here, I mean, let go off that frustration, that pain, that anger, that the particular interaction has caused within you. You can let go by following what you love to do. Follow your passion/hobby. You can write, sing, draw, shout your lungs out, box a pillow, write about your feelings on a piece of paper and shred it into pieces. Choose, what feels good for you, but have it flushed out of your system. Unburden and clean your heart. After all, it’s the most important organ you have. Send out love  to your heart. If you keep dumping load on it, it’s bound to fail, and you cannot afford that, for you are important and you are worth it !!

Experiences

via Daily Prompt: Descend

Without experiencing descend, one cannot appreciate ascend,

Without meeting sorrow, one cannot experience joy,

Without exposure to sadness, one cannot value happiness,

Without sobs and cries, one cannot venerate smile and laughter,

Without coming in contact with pain, one cannot acknowledge well being,

Without contracting an illness, one cannot treasure good health.

Life is a series of experiences, which are sent to us on a need to know and need to grow basis. I see experiences as branches of trees, growing in different directions, shaping our beliefs, our mind and our psyche.

Welcome each one of the experience by seeing it, feeling it and experiencing it because, your experience is solely yours, nurture it and grow with it !!

Journey of the mind

via Daily Prompt: Cranky

The journey of a random thousand mayhem thoughts,

Up and down, round and round, till they form tiny clots,

Clots safely tucked up in the brain,

Fears, apprehensions forming a chain,

Unfair demands, dying passion causing pain,

Feeling suffocated and claustrophobic and in strain,

Stacking layers of unaccepted demands and tears and self refrain,

Maintaining composure and peace to keep relationships sane,

The clots hemorrhaging, to put us through agonizing pain,

Oh Mind !! You cranky little devil, cease to take me on a journey of a thousand mayhem thoughts in vain.
