A New Beginning

A new dawn is breaking 
The promise of another day
My aching heart resists,
It wants to hide in the shadows
Lurking in the dark 
It shields itself against the brightening day
But giving up? Is it an option?
My head hurts with thoughts
My heart in turmoil
Confusing me further
But I need to be brave 
I must don my armour, 
Ready to face the world
To calm my inner demons
Life is tough, it is difficult to get through the day
But I will persevere
I will face the world
Without losing my softness
And the tenderness within
I have been hurt, the scars are raw
But I will continue to trust
I will love with my heart's humble thrust 
For love and friendship to get in
Once again, I will open the windows to my soul
Life has been a series of let downs 
And disappointments galore
But I will open up my heart again
To let in love and friendship
No matter how life has treated me
I will believe again
I will emerge stronger and calmer
It may not be to my liking
It may not be what I would choose for myself
Instead, I choose to face my fears
To make each day count
And to survive against all odds
I will take one step at a time
One day at a time
But I'll get there,
I'll definitely get there
For there is strength in me
There is a determination that will never die
For I am now free 
I am a warrior with a gentle soul
And a heart full of hope.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT!

LIVE IN THE MOMENT A carefree childhood brings with it, laughter and unbridled happiness.  There is no time for worry Just fun and games and joy.  That's the life we all long for.  As adults, we often look back And reminisce about the days gone by,  We long for those moments once more.  As we sit alone in silence,  We wonder.. What if?  What if we could turn back the clock And be children again?  Would it make the pain go away?  Would the burdens of adulthood lessen?  But let me tell you one thing that I have learnt Looking back only makes us happy for an instant.  Real happiness lies in looking forward True peace comes with acceptance of the present and anticipation of the future.  Why pine for a lost childhood, when we can unleash the inner child which exists in all of us.  Yes, the inner child.. who has gotten lost in the chaotic lives we lead.  When and how did we forget to laugh without restraint?  When was ...

GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN You do not have to conform to the standards set by society!"Act your age" "Wear clothes which suit your age'"Don't talk all the time""Don't laugh so loudly" "Women should be seen, not heard" "Women have to be feminine" "Women have to be demure" ...Demure? Why should we conform?Why shouldn't we laugh aloud if something seems funny?Why can't we dress for ourselves instead of trying to please everyone?Why should we be feminine all the time?Why should we bow down to so-called ideologies? Is laughter, happiness, boldness and even clothing gender specific?Break the mould, the glass ceiling is not for us.We women are blessed with brains, so let us use them.Let us write our own stories, let us light up our own paths and that of our sisters! Let us re-define who we are.So, go ahead and do your thing.We have one life... Let us make the most of it.. let us be free and above all , let us be path breakers!And don't forget, we women too have the strength and the acumen to know the differenceBetween right and wrong! To all the amazing women in my life and to those struggling with societal patterns... It is time to celebrate who we are! ๐Ÿ’™Cheers!!! ©Sangeeta
