  • Sometimes we need to let out our thoughts and emotions in order to process what we're thinking and feeling about ourselves and about life.

    You've captured my experience in precise words. Like literally, it's 3am and I'm awake. Thank you for sharing your beautiful soul. I know it's hard to believe this, but I'm sure this piece brought healing to not just me. It's soothing to know we're not alone. Even if we are against ourselves. In the end, we will see the light and love within us and for us will shine. in your words "We will prevail".

    If you remember anything melancholic
    If you feel broken from inside
    Don't worry, there is nothing to hide
    If you are feeling down
    Relax, take your time
    For a while escape this town,
    With a mixture of joy and sorrow
    Our whole life is like a play
    Its okay to be not okay
    Situations pass by a go like clouds
    So, its okay to feel the pain
    You don't need to hide your tears in the rain,
    Yes the situation is insane
    Its only because you are human
    Life is a journey, not a destination
    Nothing lasts forever, its only a station
    All you need is someone to say
    Its okay to be not okay
    We all are Obidient fools
    Caring about those shitty rules
    Its okay to feel sad for a while
    Take a break, learn
    Then go ahead with a smile
    Life is like a unmoulded clay
    Its Okay to be not okay
    Its the situation that made you numb
    Don't assume that you are dumb
    To get affected is normal
    You always don't need to be formal
    Don't fight with yourself
    For finding a way
    Its okay to be not okay
    Its never too late
    To write your own story
    You can't control your fate
    And everything is not about glory
    There is nothing to gain, nothing to loose
    Its all about what we choose
    Life always doesn't gift you a bouquet
    Its okay to be not okay

    Thank you. Your poetry and your thoughts are so beautiful. Everything about you is amazing, and I hope that you never have to go through things that may have led you to suicidal thoughts, sleepless nights and cursing yourself. I have gone through it too and I know how frightening it is. And I know when you you're okay you may not be. So please live. Know that there are people who love you and adore you like me, like us. I couldn't find any other way to reach you so apparently had to comment here. Hope you read this and may this bring a smile on your face. This is just a message from a fellow human being who may not have gone through stuff you have gone through, but I know how it feels. Trust me. And all these while poetry was my only refuge where I spiller blood everyday to let go of things that could never be undone. You can't unbreak the broken right? So yeah. Hope you have a great life ahead. Hope you live,live well. Have a good day!

    You are such an inspiration.

I have upload some to share. God bless you and keep on doing what you do best. Stay safe and be yourself.

    "You help others when they fall, but hurt yourself instead of asking for help," you got me right Mel n i felt it in my heart. Been a slave in the name of love, in a nutshell. Sobbing day in, day out, at some point it'd get to very extreme levels of rather seeing life as meaningless. I'm however happy, time heals even the deepest wounds. With a belief, one day God will make my ways n dreams come true. 🤦‍♂️
