Minds Eye Of Life

The journey of life is quite strange and uncertain at times too, There are people we meet, uncertain at times why the paths crossed. It sure sounds a little delusional and a few battles are fought against reality, But a few people don't let you forget the impact even after they are gone. I wasn't sure what was it about her, She never said anything about being my muse. Never asked her if she would be one to accept, In this conflict of emotions I had found something interesting in her. People around sure wouldn't understand what it meant, They had already got more than few names to stick a label. I sure didn't worry about it or I at least I think I didn't, But it sure was eating up some corner of my mind. How bad it could be to face the cynics and the critics, I found myself asking the other me within me. The reality of life could be different but not to me in that moment, It was time to stay clear of the opinions and just be me. - VJ Says ~ C...

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,...

I am still learning to accept realities of life. Realities that are unpleasant at times. Some of these might not be righteous. But who am I to question your versions of truth. I got to find some shelter, some shield, I can't let my individual beliefs be slaughter. Again I am not saying I am the only truth. It's just that I can't kill my beliefs, my version of morality. So how do I survive, for its not worthy to die silly, I take up shelter in what you call the cocoon of illusion. Illusion it is, unacceptable for you and acceptable to me, But then there is comfort, I can still find myself breath. I check my pulse and my heartbeat, They are a musical delight, beating in rhythm. And now I await for the long night to end, Tomorrow is another new day, another reality. - VJ says Cheers and Peace 

We bother and brood over what we believe is missing, Makes me wonder why we fail to count our blessings! There are plenty and it's not that we don't know of them, Some how we seem to have stopped appreciating them. It's so easy for us to get lost in our life's everyday battles, We seldom pause to look inwards, we are busy chasing dreams of castles. I realize that it's not too hard to get over moments of distress, If only we were to be a little humble and look at things afresh. Make a new beginning, it's never too late for anyone ever, A little nudge, a little bit a pacifying is all that inner child needs. -VJ Says ~ Cheers and Peace 

You are the untouchable in your dark moments of life. All you seek is light in the form of hope. If you cry out your pain, you are seen as vulnerable. But isn't being vulnerable human too. Is being strong, enduring pain and suffering to the point of self destruction. The world is cruel we protest, but then we also say we got to adjust. It helps to stay real and true, sometimes not being favorite too. Between sunrise and sunset it's worth to be just yourself and true. -VJ Says Cheers and Peace 

Imprisoned is what I felt, Chained and bonded within limits. Limits that I didn't wish for, But they said it's norms I got to follow. I felt restless and stifled, Never being let to express my thoughts. I questioned what they said was the only right, But they chose to brand me wrong. I believed in being nonconformist, Not to be to indifferent but to be true. I began flaunting the unabashed me, I knew they secretly liked that about me. I continued to be called the deviant and digressive, A misfit that they secretly always wanted to be. They always spoke of me in hushed tone, I knew they were just jealous for they could never be me. - VJ says Cheers and peace 

Freedom is what I seek, Not to fly high in the sky, But from people's judgemental mind.  They stare at me and stare hard, When they pass by me on the street, A sense of discomfort runs down my spine.  I question myself, I question thee, Does my inner beauty make you uncomfortable, Or is it just the lust that I see it your eyes.  I ain't just a piece of meat or your wet dream, I am not born just to be your fantasy, Just try to knock your inner conscious, You shall realize that I am so much more than such triviality. -VJ says Cheers and Peace  P.S: Wrote this a couple of weeks back. Trying to imagine and portray in words suppressed feeling of a woman who has felt objectified.

There are moments when you see glimpses of it, Its him lurking behind the doors with a crooked smile. Let that door within our souls stay shut, The world is not yet ready to accept it. He is perceived as evil, he may be one too, Or maybe he is the uncompromising soul in you. There is an animal in you and me, When you look into the mirror you may not see." -VJ Says - Cheers and Peace!

I sat there alone on the big black rock, Water gushing down the hill by my side. A moment that I wish to freeze forever, A picture that is now impregnated in my mind. No thoughts crosses my mind in the moment of silence, Such was the power serenity I sat enveloped in. In that moment of tranquility I was sitting in the lap of nature, I felt the powerful surge within as I felt one with my soul. I didn't venture into the wilderness to find peace, But within me I knew I was only trying to escape the unkind. Questions, confusions, uncertainties, a bag full of them, I have been carrying them along for long. It has now been left behind with no intent to pick up the lost bag. I wasn't seeking answers anymore, I wasn't interested in the questions anymore, I could feel my soul asking me to let go, Let go of all the baggage, rise up and welcome the new life. -VJ says ~ Cheers and Peace
