The Forty Eighth Poem- Beyond The Noise

Beyond the Noise


Why do I listen to the world’s noise
When I can be who I am?
When I can have my own voice
Without anyone telling me who I am.

Whose judgements am I afraid of?
What scars am I trying to prevent?
When magic is what I am made of,
And I no longer want to pretend.

Why should I look a certain way
To please anybody else?
When I want to live every day 
For myself, and not for anybody else.

Why can’t I sometimes show my emotions 
In their purest and rawest forms?
Why am I always compelled to take precautions 
To follow some superfluous societal norms?

Who is my controller but me?
Who is someone else to say
That I cannot be completely me
And live in my own beautiful way?

No one can tell me it’s inessential 
To do something I am authentic at.
I will always harness my fullest potential,
For I am the best in who I am and I know that.

The Seventh Poem- Letter From Heaven

-
✉ Letter From Heaven✨ One day I got a letter from heaven, It was the most iconic enclosure. I was miraculously shaken By its sparkling golden lustre. I say you've never seen such a wrapping before, It's very different from the ones I've seen before. There it was, placed on the step of my door, Looking enchanting and magnificent to its core. I didn't think once before rushing to claim it, Because I didn't want it to disappear in the blink of my eye; Just how it had arrived there in a mysterious kit, Without a name, or an address, or even a Hi. I didn't know why, but it felt so precious Before even opening it; But I did know that I was curious To absorb every little detail of it. So I sat down on my wooden chair, And uncovered it to find a note that read, "This letter is for you from Heaven up there, And I wanted it to reach you before you were dead." "I've seen you in your best and in your worst, Facing your fears and also getting engulfed in t...

The Second Poem- Enticing Opportunities

-
🏁 Enticing Opportunities 🏆 If opportunities don't knock, Start building a door. Don't wait for the clock To rise up and roar. Like comets are opportunities, You got to capture them when they come; Otherwise you may have to face adversities, Thinking where you would've landed if you’d grabbed some. But don't think it is the end To the desires of your heart, Because you can still mend, And that my friend, is the real art. So slowly start by working With the tools at your disposal, Exuding determination, patience and trying To build up your arsenal. With hard work you attract opportunities, And in the way realise your potential; You decide whatever may come the calamities, It is worth to risk for the credential. Never think you have lost your chance, Because there is always hope; Your opportunity spectrum will enhance, The moment you take courage to walk on the tightrope. So my friend, start with the small things, Taking one step at a time, And see the expansion of your ...
