I know a girl

Image
I knew a girl all bubbly and sweet. Wearing a dress and carrying a treat. The innocence in her eyes sparkled as she walked, Truthfulness showcased in every sentence she talked. “A five year old with a mature thought” Was the topic that family gatherings brought. Her A’s in grade sheet made her a student bright But growing into a teenager brought sad aspects of life in her sight. The confident 5 year old was slowing turning into an introvert. Her early teenage years were nothing like what the elders had assert. She couldn’t understand if she was too young or old. “This is the best phase of your life” she was always told. Years passed by, she started growing into mid-teen, Her life got tough and a sight of anxiety was seen. She felt lost and alone, Self-isolation felt like a comfort zone. Until one day, a bright smile from her friend healed her. Slowly she didn’t feel alone and had lost most of her fear.   I know a girl proud of herself For not giving up, no matter what she felt.

A Big City Dream

Beautiful you

Image
You wake up with a cluttered brain and a pounding heart  Should I get up? Is the question that  you keep on asking yourself  What if today is just like yesterday? What if it’s worse? These fears keep running until you finally prepare yourself to get up You know you’ve completed your biggest task for today  But why does it not feel good?  You take a step ahead and see yourself in the mirror  You don’t see anything pretty or surprising  All you see is your flaws, your scar and all the things people point out as ugly about you You wonder how people can have the courage to look into the mirror every day  How they have the courage to think of themselves as pretty or beautiful ? When all you see is the worst example of beauty But who set these examples for you ? And why do you care about what others think ? You ask this to yourself and realise its not you Its not you who is ugly but the thoughts  inside those people who define your beauty for you Y...
