You've become so accustomed to yourself that sometimes you forget your own worth. Days blend into each other, making everything seem ordinary – from your appearance to the way you express yourself and understand the world. But it's those moments when someone reminds you of your uniqueness – your beauty, your kindness, your intelligence – that truly warm your heart. Hearing these affirmations from others helps you see the beauty in yourself. However, not everyone sees you the way you do. Some may not appreciate your light, and instead, they may cast shadows of envy or doubt. It's easy to get caught up in comparing yourself to others, but remember, you're on your own journey. Take a moment to reflect on the little things that make you special. Your presence in this world is more meaningful than you realize – it's like discovering magic in the ordinary. -Sparkandashes

my soul lingers near to yours

hoping that you’ll notice

my eyes

following

the path of your heart

hoping we’ll meet

in time

and yet

with each blink of a lash

i lose you a little more

until one day

i wake up

and you’ve slipped

through my fingers

again

You address a letter to me from nowhere,

and I sit by it for hours,

my cheeks red with blood gushing in

from the butterflies feeding on my stomach

My lips curve in a smirk from a heart beating faster

and of the wildflowers fluttering, blooming

in a thunderstorm.

I open it while the starlight goes off,

and the storm blows off my roof.

You sent me a little piece of your heart,

and asked for the whole of mine.

And I wondered about the doors it would knock,

if I returned it to nowhere.

You can forgive them but choose to not let them back in your life.

The universe sends regards with a directive to begin the process of finally growing up.

Stepping into adult shoes, looking the world through something other than the rose-tinted eyeglasses of a toddler.

Welcome to the real world, it says. Here you have to work for everything you get. You do not get appreciated for every single effort that you put in and sometimes for anything at all. There are rewards for some but most good deeds do go unnoticed. There isn’t a tree at every road for shade. Some roads you just have to trudge along to find solace and somehow, neither of this kills you. You might want it all to end every single day but somehow when the day ends, you’ll manage to still keep standing. And your world will be ready to start spinning as soon as the next day knocks. But you’ll learn to not let it get to you because you’ll learn to start spitting out the blood that gushes to your mouth after every punch to your gut. You’ll learn to begin again without feeling like a complete failure or more accurately, you’ll learn to begin again even when failure is all you think defines you. Because somehow, you’ll learn that sometimes, a choice just isn’t presented to you and no matter how dejected you feel, the only course of action is to still keep crawling, to keep breathing no matter how hard your lungs ache.

There’s going to be heartbreak and broken things are not always going to mend. Some roads are going to get blocked no matter how much you wish them to flourish. And somehow, you’re going to find a way to be okay with it without clinging to some childish hope. Because you’re going to accept that resurrection doesn’t actually work and the universe doesn’t conspire to keep you safe. You’re going to realize that the safety net you clung to was ultimately a mere illusion and things are going to hurt you when you least expected them to. But you’ll learn through it all. And I hope, somehow, through it all, you manage to cling onto that childish wonder you’ve got for this world.

But I know that is not possible. Which is just another of those things you’ll learn.

Forsaken Soul

As the walls came tumbling down,

That's when I realized to what I was bound,

An end, seemingly painful yet daunting,

Loomed in sight, slowly haunting.

Perhaps within those walls,

I thought was my home,

Where not a ray of light could creep in,

A place, I considered my own.

Darkness wrapped around me like a shawl,

Covering me, caressing, in every stroll,

Deafening silence, ringing through,

Steeped into, those moments of rue.

Yearning for a hand to hold,

I sat within those walls,

Waiting to be rescued,

But all I could do was encounter my doom.

Once craved, my solitude, became my demon,

Awaiting assistance, I cursed myself, remembering,

The times when others had beckoned,

In the cold and dark, I was just stuttering.

Shattered and torn was my heart,

Taking a forlorn glance in the bare dark,

Nobody came to help, it was worst than hell,

For I lost my sight, surrendering to the luckless life.

Ashes were taking fold from within me,

In the entirety of darkness, I had nowhere to flee,

Fragmented existence, seemingly worthless,

No one bothered, such was the state of my mess.

Falling upon the miserable times,

I came to know all those promises were mere lies,

For when hardships come, people leave,

Nobody cares when life turns full of grief.

Shattering, I laid there, with no relief,

Even you would have looked in disbelief,

For such was the state I was buried under,

To my demons, I was going to surrender.

Perhaps my ashes would only remain,

To recite the story of my fright and might,

Of love that was just a fairy tale,

And life that slowly faded away.

Perhaps I will succumb to a merely fragmented being,

Who once dreamt of being whole,

And saw all his aspirations burning,

As grief and regret gnawed on his soul.

Ending my journey with a heavy heart,

I shall soon diminish and depart,

With all the woeful memories,

And the loneliness that could never be emptied.

You wait for love, with an empty hand and pluck eyebrows, when the stars fall. you love rom coms, and you hold dreams of drama in your teeth. you dress up in glitters, a rotten heart and your eyes on good looking love, you bake a cake for love, and hide your insecurities in. you wait for love, perfect and starry, blinding your eyes for love's soul. you hide your flaws, and sell pamphlets of your passion and charms.

and love comes to rescue, on a dark night you sit with smudged liner, and push it out, for it does not adorn your vehement theories of love.
