A brief Update-

I know I haven’t been active on WP this past week. I haven’t posted and haven’t been able to read your posts as well. It should have been a busy week for me with hospital rotations Monday through Thursday, but I have missed two out of those four days.

Turns out my body needed a break and that’s what I did. I haven’t been on here not because I have been too busy, rather, I just needed to rejuvenate and get back to school and blogging with a fresh state of mind.

I really don’t have the words to describe how amazing it feels to check up after not posting and still see views and likes and comments and even follows. I mean, people actually check out this blog and read it?! It put a smile on my face. That’s actually what I wanted to say, simply, Thank You for still being here after all these time.

I’d be switching off the comment notification on this post because it wouldn’t be fair not to reply immediately and I am already way behind on replying my comments.

At dawn-

It was all she could-
To wake up at dawn,
Pray to her lord;
Listen to the sound
Of the universe,
Interacting with birds
And their melodic voice.

It was all she could-
With a coffee In hand,
Type a few words;
Gaze at the humans
In a hurry to what?
She wondered…
Their faces,
Filled not with Joy.

It was all she could do-
To wake up at dawn,
Stay strong for a while
Before over taken,
And stressed beyond bounds.
It was all she could do-
To breathe, to truly
Live while she can.

p.s: I know I’ve written about “being all you can” already this week, but for some reason, that’s what is inspiring me lately. Also, I’m on a trip this week, with not so good internet connection so I might not be able to read all your lovely posts. But will try as much 🙂

Unmasked-

I’ve never been the kind of girl,
Who hid her face;
Always tried to show the world,
I got what it takes;
Didn’t realize the toll it took,
The stress I was going through;
Till it reached a breaking point,
I was getting loose…

All the knots, all the bolts;
Coming down, I’m losing control;
The stage that I- Considered home,
Left a dent, I didn’t know.
Down and down it spiraled on,
Still I smile to show the world;
They say the show must still go on,
A hidden face won’t do the work.

Most not all of the world is blind,
Some deciphered I wasn’t fine;
All the applause- which pushed me on,
Slowly faded with who I was;
I had to find the girl I knew ,
Before the stage, led to my doom.
The missing piece of the puzzle- me
It wasn’t easy rediscovering it…

And now we have a girl,
A puzzle piece complete;
Not afraid to show the world,
Her vulnerability;
It’s been a roller-coaster ride,
Living in a spotlight;
But now I’ve found the girl i am-
There’s no going back

Let Tomorrow be-

Tomorrow-
Is but a mystery;
And today-
We’re still unravelling;
The past-
Has left it’s scars and pricks;
But the future-
We hope it’ll be,
Better still.

And so worry-
Only makes you weak;
And weary, distant
From your dreams;
Curb it, clip it,
Before it sprouts
A garden;
And all you’re left-
Tugging at weeds.
