Change

 When you don't want something to happen, something to be real, you try your best to forget about it.

But you can't.

Because if you can, you wouldn't wish it wasn't real so bad.

So you'd try to bury it.

But you can't do that, either.

Because you care about it.

Sometimes you might have to accept the fact that it has changed. 

Sometimes you might have to keep the old memories and move on.

Sometimes you might have to let it go.

But sometimes, you can stop it from changing.

But that is VERY rare.


Every time your mind wanders down that dangerous path, you try your best to waft it away.

You're scared of it.

You're sad about it.

Upset.

Angry.

But it's up to you to express it in a not so harsh way, which will make you feel better.

Which is what I'm doing now.


But, maybe not all changes have to upset you.

Sure, you'll regret it at first, but you might actually like it more than the last.

But even if you don't, that's okay. Because you can create more new changes which will make you happy, or maybe even happier. Even if it means you'll have to let go of the old one.

    Very very interesting write up. Fight between mind and heart written in an abstract way. May be very fact finding one. Pure thoughts beautifully expressed. Very good.

    As usual a positive ending with good message. An analytical poem. Make us think a lot.

Long Lost Sleep

  After a long, exhausting day, the only thing all of us look forward to is SLEEP. So, as soon as you finish off the last crumbs on your dinner plate, you fling yourself onto your bed, rest yourself in a comfortable position, get your pillow nice and fluffed up, and throw the blankets on yourself. But then... You just realised that you still have your big, wobbly earrings on. So you throw back the blankets and remove your earrings and leave them in their box. And then you're back in your bed, and just as your eyelids are about to close... You realise that you haven't brushed your teeth. So, yet again, your throw back the blankets and get off the bed, letting the annoying, creaky sound fill your head. And then you throw open the door to your bathroom, get your brush ready and squeeze toothpaste onto it, but... The tube seemed to have a hole on the back, which you sadly hadn't noticed. And you get toothpaste all over your hands. Fuming, you wash your hands and get things done...

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

Stars

  Shining in the vast night sky, I see them from afar. Dominated by the brighter moon, There glimmer the stars. Mostly hidden by the cruel shadows, Or by the thick, misty clouds. But they do not give up, they still glimmer on, They make their voice be heard loud. Even though they're hardly seen, Even though they're hardly thought of, They know that someday they will be, Thought of, honoured and loved. So take an inspiration from stars, Show your true essence, Continue to shimmer, ignore the darkness, Because one day it'll fear your presence.
