Independent Poem 3: Bhargavi

A conversation with myself

While experiencing those days 

Wrapped with work, work which you don't like 

You start questioning of what's right and wrong 

Knowing there's no one to direct you to light. 

Even if there is, you're too stubborn to listen 

And you consider yourself worthy of expertise

Yet there's a hollow-ness 

Where you are oblivious of how to deal. 

"You procrastinate, you only talk"

You've got this from many

And yet I fail to understand 

How it doesn't hit your cord even slightly?

Close ones openly criticize 

Of you and your laid back personna 

Why, just why aren't you able to grasp 

The concern and forthcoming failure? 

If you do what you are 

You'll land up no where 

Breathe and let it out

I know you have a lot on your head. 

No one knows about this 

Because of forcing yourself to stay mum 

Everyone is selfish, as you've taught yourself 

Don't forget-the universe protects, no matter what comes. 

When there's no one who can see your side 

The side where you're naive 

You're very courageous as it seems 

As to falter, and stand to back up oh so bright. 

I know you're strong 

I know you're stubborn 

I know you procrastinate 

I know the pains you succumb.

"You have a false picture of reality, 

You have a false picture of you, 

You force yourself to be what you aren't 

Only so you can feel calm within yourself"

These words and more 

You seem to attract 

Those closest ones who care 

Or don't, believe you aren't on track. 

They say you're not good with bad circumstances 

They say you're not a nice person 

They say you are only a sweet talker 

That you please to get recognition. 

Listen, listen carefully 

Don't attract them back 

Do your tasks, don't talk 

See what unfurls and never slack.

Make sure to take time out 

Where you head in your zone and delve

Leave behind the layman and 

Gain interest in everything that inspires

Making everyday productive, going out and about. 

Save, save money each day 

Start investing in time 

You'll see success knocking 

With knowledge and awareness coming in line.
