What is it?

 What's really close, but is hard to reach,

What, once you reach, is willing to teach,

What is always there, but mostly ignored, 

What's that thing that you shut with a door?


What always warns, separates good from bad,

What, when you're wrong, makes you sad,

What, when you're happy, makes you glad,

What always tries to make your life rad?


What do you really, and always, need?

What is that thing that you should heed?

I'll let you guess, and remember to tell me.....



That it is your self-consciousness which doesn't want any seethe.

    Beautifully worded da kanna !!! Yes, your conscience is your guiding light - always keeping you on the right track! I was guessing ‘heart’ but conscience is more apt. It’s heartening to know that a child as young as you is able to understand the importance of it. Praying to Almighty will always keep your conscience clear and help you to head towards the right direction always. May God bless you always da kanna kutty 😘 😘

    No words Shriyandhaa you have written a thought full poem. To my knowledge and experience
    This maturity comes at the age of 20 But you are a Devine child with good family that's why such a great write up. I'm proud about your expression.

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

Clouded

  Every night, I bring myself  To stare up at the sky -  But turn back home, with a frown on my face, Clouds blocking stars, showing wry.  Every morning, I peek out the window  To marvel at the sea above - But turn away, losing hope,  Cotton figures, masking what I love.  Every time I see the clouds,  I curse them, with all might,  They don't deserve to be up there,  Ruining the bright days and starry nights.  And one day, the clouds finally went away,  And I stargazed in much peace.  But suddenly, the sky felt a bit empty -  Although dotted by the stars, without fake fleece. In the mornings, the sun burnt the pavements -  And something inside me missed watching  The white shapes that merrily float past -  I didn't realise they had much meaning.  Though much couldn't be seen, they brought A wholesome feeling - that you probably can't see -  You only can, when one day,  The clouds decide t...

Eclipsed

  Moon:  I shine every night  Though, once a month, I take a break  But I'm seen regularly,  And it's not a big deal.  Few stop by  To marvel at me.  But what about the others -  Can they even see? And tonight is the night  A shadow shall be cast upon me  I hope no one notices -  My brief moments without glory.  Oh, but who am I kidding?  Of course, when I'm humiliated  In the vast night sky  Just me, and an eery shadow upon me  That  That is when the humans  Choose to gaze at me.  And then, to say I am weak And I'm always overruled by  The sun, and shadows, and clouds?  That is not fair.  But the truth that the moon does not know  Is that our little downfalls  Are what define us.  They're the little things that make us  Better - Perfection isn't a thing; but realism is.  Someone who is perfect cannot be likeable - But someone with flaws has more pe...
