The Fifty Seventh Poem- How Do I?

How Do I?


How do I find motivation
When I don’t feel like it?
Pondering questions like-
Will I ever be able to make it?
Why is there so much pain in the world 
When there could be free-willed kindness?
I wish angels and fairies would swirl,
And the whole world be drenched in pure happiness.

How do I muster the courage
To stand tall on my own two feet
And face adversities without tripping back
Into my same insecurities one more time?
How do I stop myself
Form falling back into the same routines 
Which no longer benefit me?
How do I bring the change within myself?

How do I continue to be kind
When life seems to be unfair?
How do I hold on to my resilience 
When I am pushed to give up?
How do I continue to believe 
That there is always something good in life
Despite situations that seem otherwise? 
How do I find that light within me?

How do I persist
Without being carried away?
How do I regain confidence 
After just one rock threatens to crush me?
How do I trust myself
When I am made to believe 
That I am not worthy,
That my contribution is not enough?

How do I find faith
When life seems too scary?
How do I pick up my fallen pieces
And rebuild an unshatterable me?
How do I become the love
That I try to find in people and places?
How do I believe that I am enough
Despite the world making me believe otherwise?

These questions never seem to end,
How do I quiet their flow in my mind?
Maybe the answer lies
In taking one day at a time,
Conquering small challenges before the bigger ones,
Reminding myself that I am doing good,
That challenges arise because I can overcome them,
And that life always wants to see me shine.

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 ...

The Forty Sixth Poem- New Chapters

-
  New Chapters As old chapters close And new ones spring, We lose some beautiful connections But gatekeep the genuine ones. All the lessons learnt,  We transform into a sweet elixir of wisdom. And the choices we make,  Change from the ones we’d make an era before. Tangles of threads being to uncoil, With internal battles being slowly won, And priorities that truly matter Begin to be held in the highest regard. New dreams and desires unfold, With unwavering hope in the heart. And the collectibles of lessons and blessings, Make you a more powerful ‘You’. To new chapters waiting to be unleashed, And more wiser ‘Yous’ looking back in the mirror, We bid goodbye to the old ones, Whose best parts will stay in our memories forever. -Jaanvi Veluguleti
