Can’t You Too Sleep?

Do you also Once in a while Have trouble sleeping? The sort when when you just lie, Toss and turn But still stay wide awake? Do you also Look at the time And know for a fact That you must be sleeping But you are not, But you can't? Do you also Feel uneasy, Feel [...]

Don’t Be Afraid

Hey, you! Yes, you! Don't you be afraid Just because you are a woman. For in more ways than you imagine, You don't just have powers, You have super-powers! Don't let the men tell you What and how to do. Don't let other women demonstrate What and how you should be. For you have the [...]

One More Time

One more time, Let us try. One more time, Let us not see why. One more time, Let us not hold ourselves back. One more time, Let us forget about what we lack. One more time, Let us let ourselves be. One more time, Let us dream what we can’t see. One more time, Let [...]

Stand Up For Yourself

Your knees may be wobbling, For you may have been beaten down, From fear, disrespect or hate. Still, I say, Stand up for yourself. The walls of your world May have collapsed all around you. The walls you spent your life on. Still, I dare say, Stand up for yourself. You might seem all alone [...]

Nothing

I stand at nothing. With no progress In any direction. Still, I hope. There is nothing That I can guarantee about To myself and someone else. Still, I hope.

"Why me?" We often ask. Because only we could do it. Because it was only our blessing. "Why now?" We often wonder. Because only then it adds up on time. Because it's timed only for us. "Why this?" We often moan. Because it will eventually make us happy. Because everything is for a reason.

You are an Eagle

Would You Bet on Yourself?

We often complain that others, especially those we are close to, are not supportive enough for us. At times, we are plain mad about it. At other times, we are too hurt to say anything. But that is how "others" will always be! Either too busy or too difficult or too indifferent and so on. [...]

Embarrassment

Do you know why we feel embarrassed? It's because we weigh someone else's opinion more than our own. We acknowledge that they know it better than us. We submit to them. Should we? I spent a large part of my life worrying about what others think of me. Maybe they did think those very things [...]
