You're free to be... your true self!

That sadness in your eyes…

Silently sobs and whispers… of how I have failed you and your love

They are in pain of disregard and disrespect, done by me…unto you

But they contain the agony very silently to themselves

Questioning me what wrong have I done?

Arms that have liberated me

And embraced me to a happy world…

… are now tied by my possessive love

I am sorry I did it to you….

I regret all the sorrow and the pain…

…I know my love is not mature as yours

But is surely growing up…

Even I wish to liberate you …

The way you have done to me…

And from today itself I shall try and be…absolutely carefree…

I love you but have no rights to bound you…

I loved you for what and who you were and are…

So shall you remain like that….

You are free…To be …

All that makes you …your true self!

The Other Side of Life

Life can often be bewildering. You can’t always call it unfair but it can certainly be absurd and astounding. Events keep happening uncontrollably, leaving you exhausted. As you try coping with it, thinking you’ve had enough, deserve better and no more of it, there’s something else awaiting you. Each time it's a new experience, demanding in many ways, monetarily, mentally, physically and emotionally. Leaving you exhausted. 

Such moments, if you notice, make you more mature, experienced, strong and weak at the same time. You lose a great deal of yourself, acquire few new traits, recollected your shattered self and discover a new side of you too. All of it is disturbing enough, and would mostly leave you wondering… how would it be to have a smooth and peacefully perfect life?

And that’s when you sense this feeling of undoing and redoing situations/ behaviours to make it all work perfectly. You keenly imagine the other side of life. Had it not been this way, how beautiful would it be. But then deep down somewhere you know, there would have been some other aspect or adversity, which could have been much graver. So much that of course you cannot imagine, quite like you never imagined this phase of life.

But you see how human mind is, always keen on the other side of life, the other side of the coin, the other side of a person or may be self and how we always find the grass greener on the other side. There's certainly a pull on the other side, the probabilities of possibilities that keep us unsatisfied and leave us manipulating.

Truly the other side can be anything, it can be full of rosy fantasies or unbearable horrors. Which is why life keeps throwing a blend of experiences because we can never manage balancing ourselves on the either edges always.
