Anxiety - Dragon

My anxiety is a invisible dragon,
His long juggled tail curled around my heart,
Seconds away from squeezing till it bursts!
His sharp, pointed teeth a mere millimetre away from sinking into the soft curves of my brain!
His great shadow wings resting for now,
But always ready to unfurl and create a havoc inside my chest!
He is my Goliath! 

Each day I wake,
I keep my eyes squeezed shut tight,
searching inside of myself for the dragon!
Is he awake?
Is he hungry?
more worse, is he angry?
It is a constant battle with a worthy foe,
for the dragon is cunning,
so cunning that he has convinced me, time and time again!
that the danger exists real and that the constant choking thoughts are mine!
and not the result of poisonous fangs sinking into the softest parts of me!
Each day I wake,
weary, afraid and burdened
the dragon's presence a heavy weight on my chest!
Wondering he'll unleash himself on me,
or choose to stay asleep!

Diwali 2024: Missing everyone in India

Hope you are welcoming Autumn with high spirits as this is the season of festivals and celebrations. Festivals are a huge part of anyone’s culture and ‘Diwali’ – The Festival of Lights,  is one of the most significant festivals celebrated by me and my family. This year we are celebrating Diwali on October 30th and although it is almost 2 weeks away, I just don’t feel the same excitement and fanfare around me as it was back home in India….. The bright decorations at the mall, the shiny packaging on the sweets, The aroma in the meals, the sparkle on the clothes, The buzz at home, the lamps on the floor, the gifts galore, The shiny lights on the street, the new Bollywood beat, The hymn of the prayer, the agarbatti smell in the air, The colorful rangoli, the diya  and roli on the pooja thali , The gulab jamun, the win in teen pati, I miss it all …..I feel the absence of my family and friends. Of course it is hard to find the same cultural experience here in UK and I know it i...

A boy who never mattered

A boy who always got left out since childhood kept everyone as a priority knowing the pain of being left out! A boy who never got asked by anyone about how's his day was, always asks the other person how's their day knowing that something they might wanna share or just waiting for someone to ask! A boy who received harsh answers and actions all the time uses a soft tone and kind actions to comfort people knowing the pain of hurt! A boy who never got any hand to tap his shoulder or praise his act always tries to encourage the smallest achievements of others knowing how it could boost them! A boy who never received any compliment since childhood always tries to look at how beautiful the person is in and out and compliments them knowing how it could make their day! A boy who never got a person to listen to him always tries to be a good listener knowing how important it might be for someone who hesitates to or couldn't express it! A boy who never got loved ever other than his f...

Does perfection exist?

Who cares about perfection? Even though the moon is not perfect, it is full of craters! The ocean is incredibly beautiful, it is full of salty and dark in the depths! The sky is always infinite, but often cloudy! Mountains are always heads up, the surface is always rough! So, everything that is beautiful isn't perfect, it's special! Therefore, every person is special to someone. Stop being perfect, but try to be free and live. Doing what you love, not wanting to impress others, I Love This! #imperfectlyperfect  #Mk
