They

You know what they say, "Practice makes
Perfect"? 
You know how they say, "Let the past 
Be the past"?
You know how you feel
Knowing something you're doing 
Is not right,
You know they're watching you ponder,
You do, right?
They stay around you, you meet them, see them
Everyday,
They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks
Depending on the aura around you -
Wherever you are, they are there 
They are there everywhere.
You might think you're alone, somewhere
Deserted
But you never are
They're still there -
And they are also probably the ones
Who know you, better than you know 
Yourself.
They say confusing strings,
There are lots of songs they sing,
They have seen lots of things,
There's something, which, to myself I'll always
Think,
It will either remain unanswered, 
Or will be forgotten, 
But I shall not think it will be addressed
But nonetheless - 
They cannot control 
Everything you do 
Even if the things they have said 
Echo constantly, pounding with hard questions,
They do not matter, at least 
Not as much as you think.
They're in the distant past, in the far future 
They're in this very moment, 
Probablye even reading this 
For all we know, it could be anyone.
Here's 
Something I've always asked, and as have you
I'm sure -

"Who's they?"

  1. Ending the poem with the question makes me to think that the people around you how they influence with their talks and words. Your thoughts are extraordinary and your messages in your writings are really useful for the society . May God bless you Shriyandhaa.

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...

What it really feels like, being indecisive.

  Let's get started.  Pick the next line:  You mean I need to choose?  You'll do just fine -  That is NOT true -  Whatever, pick the next -  I CANNOT DECIDE .  I mean why not?  That's my flawed side.  Oh, ambiguous, are we?  Sure, just pick a line for me. Is this turning into a poem?  It better be!  Why can't you decide on one answer?  What if one is better than the next?  Don't think too much about possible blunders -  That is exactly why I fret.  You can't not have an opinion -  But that's how it is.  You should really change -  It's not my fault I'm indecisive.  Think about it, I'm used to heat, but at the moment  I can use some cool But I can survive in the Sahara if I have to But I'll suffer in cold rooms, I might even solidify  But now, the heat is a bit hard to bear  But I'm afraid, the AC might get too extreme -  ALRIGHT, I understand, it's pretty hard to ...
