Minds Eye Of Life

I was sitting in the lobby waiting for my name to be called out. It was apparent that it's going to be sometime before it would be my turn. I looked around, it was a quiet space. I asked my self what's that I miss the most in my busy day. A meaningful conversation pat came the answer.  I looked to my left, I saw another me. A smiling face with glitter of excitement in the eyes. I asked him why are you smiling? What's the excitement for? He didn't answer any of my questions.  I looked away and wondered why am I hallucinating. I looked to my left again, he was still there, still smiling. "You been thinking a lot these days, most of which have led you nowhere", he said. "Isn't it about the lost smile?"   I protested and I said, "Oh common, what rubbish. I do smile, and I do so everyday." But deep within I knew, it was another feeble attempt of mine to accept reality. With that moment of acceptance the other me sitting alongside m...

She didn't plan it, Probably she never dreamed it,  But it happened,  And it changed her forever.  It's not the bruises that I care,  It's her determination that I share.  She had made up her mind,  Not to give into forces of any kind.  She laughed her pains out loud,  Many confused it with humor.  She has triumphed her fear,  Path to glory in her mind is clear.  You have all met her,  She was there when you crossed the road.  Maybe the one who walked past you,  When you were busy passing lecherous smile.  She smiles at the world filled with diminutive mind,  The eyes which stare at her with lust and desire.  She thinks of you as an unfortunate soul,  One who carries tiny mind in their small pockets.  You haven't fought the battles she has,  You may never be worthy to walk her path.  She doesn't ask for your attention or sympathy,  She is too busy...

We all live in this bubble in our minds,  Of complete acceptance of ourselves.  Behind some of those smiles,  Are disapprovals of your imaginations.  It was never meant to be, you will cry,  The way life is and the way you imagined it to be.  Sometimes we find it too hard and harsh,  To accept the reality as it exists. Be prepared for the unacceptable, You shall be hurt and bruised.  They will call you names,  You shall feel devalued and cursed.  But then life never ends with it,  Endurance of your mind will be tested.  You shall fail at times and be shattered, But then these are phases you can't escape.  You know it too well that you were born for a reason, Giving up was not one of the options you choose to live for. Just remember it's never over till you accept defeat,  But you shall always be reminded that the battles will be many.  One day at a time, one battle after another,...
