Self-made ? Ohhhh.

You tell me you are self-made
While showing your dad's house,
You tell me you are responsible
While hating your own spouse,
You tell me you are worthy
While boasting about your friends,
You tell me you are humble
While talking nonsense about the trends,

 So tell me,
What do you understand by it all?
Like someone who is liked by all ?
Or someone with a figure so tall ?
Or someone with effortless flirting skills ?
Or someone being chased by all ?

 How do you conceive these ideas
Of trying to woo,
Without having any clue
About the person
And their journey ?
About the human
And their worry ?

 What makes you think 
That you stand apart,
In a crowd
That's already like a dart ?

 Who do you think you are,
Before making comments so sharp ?
Who do you think you resemble, 
Before comparing others and their ensemble ?
How dare you invalidate how others feel,
Without ever walking in their heels ?

 Kindly look into yourself
Before filling others with doubt,
Kindly wash your face
Before blaming the mirror for it's gout.

    Very true.. one should look at one self before boasting about anyone else cause people come to know about u without your saying and what do u want to prove publishing such stuff.. what? U were equally responsible so stop pointing fingers at others

      Dear one, whoever you are. This work is a work of art. And when it comes to art, it's a very personal matter. If you do not like my work, do not pay any attention. That would be highly appreciated. Also, next time, before commenting, disclose your name. Why to hide ?

      (comment posted by unknown.. 30jan2020 at 22:35) this is for you.
      Clear your conscience first.
      If you can't handle the truth, do not comment.
      If you can relate yourself to the poem, face it.
      If you can't appreciate it, shut up.
      (Take a deep breath and introspect)

    No one sees what you see,
    Even if they see it too.

An intense grip!

Not having met you Never made me feel empty, But having met you Makes me feel weak, Not that I can't survive, But it's a struggle of not wanting to, A struggle of knowing All that should be known, And yet unable to Hold back from the unknown, A dying sense of urgency Although there is none in the vicinity, A profound feeling of having found A feeling so intense That it just couldn't be spent Even after exhausting every cent.

A Recovering Heart !

Safe Is Just A Word!  It's safe to say I am fine , Till no one looks into my mind, For once you take a look closer, You won't think that I am sober, Silence is a language in itself, Something I discovered very late, I wish I had known that earlier, Maybe my peace wouldn't have to wait, What's bygone is okay, What remains is pretty, What it was is a mystery, But what it's becoming, Will surely be history, True love doesn't leave, Neither does it stay, It accommodates to a relationship, Till the people in it slay. Only If We Could See Things Coming ! To see things coming Is a matter of luck, When you can't see On a human plane it sucks To remain prepared Is what we would want, To balance the present Might miss out on the round We fight, we clamor, We plead, we worry, We curse, we wish But after all this, We forget, That's it's a lesson, Not to regret. You or Animals ? The line between...

Mistakes.

A question has been Haunting me Of rights and wrongs, Asking me with bland eyes To figure out the wants, I held to this thought For very long, Having been taught That lesser the mistakes Better the stakes, What I seem to have learnt Is that the more the score Of your mistakes The greater the chances Of knowing what it takes, The lesser you commit mistakes The fewer the opportunities And smaller the gates.
