137.Finding answers*

 *Finding answers*

My wandering mind has no tag

As if I am Searching the right bag

Sometimes I go back in past 

And wish the memories would last

During Shivaratri my dad used to get panak from temple 

I tried to make this in his memory a sample

It didn't turn out well

I wish I learnt mom's dishes beforehand well

I am craving for the panchakajayi she made 

The recipe she might have told before , but memories just fade

I generally make so many videos rant

Why don't I have any of my parent?

Why doesnt time heal the pain?

Where is their path lane?

The memories which lead me to joy within

Why do I cry now when Google photos flashes them 

I am literally afraid to go back home 

Each memories is so special known

I feel very low sometime but God is kind 

Diverting my mind is the only solution I find 

Oh good God, please help me in finding my fence 

Help me Boost my self worth and confidence!!!

Happy Maha Shivaratri 🙏

It elegantly captures nostalgia and longingness and the bittersweet nature of memories. The personal touch like Shivaratri, panak etc add warmth and depth feeling intimate and relatable. It makes the poem strongly relatable reminding us our own memories. Its tangible and unique poem. Overall a beautiful poem ⭐💫 keep writing and sharing ❤️

136. My inner truth

 

*My inner truth*

Towards others I am very kind 

But self stress ,no relief I find 

Thinking after speaking

Is like storing water after leaking 

The collected water isn't pure

Can't take back spoken words anymore 

Moody me lacks being consistent 

Mostly scrunched face or at times bloom like a floral scent

Office presence has culture hybrid 

To master art is between lines to read

My inner self chooses comfort over fashion 

But as advised , now I groom up well with passion 

Inner truth is that I like speaking less, working more 

But I am learning to be social and smarter for sure 

Inner truth is revealed in power pack 

I know that people do speak behind my back 

But efforts to keep my mind in clean space

Inner truth is to be positive and handle each phase 

Earlier when I was asked how was my weekend 

My responses were long expressing end to end

I have changed my answers not with intention to be plastic 

But towards on my journey to be elastic 

Answering 'Weekend was good though short ' comes as breeze 

Makes formal Small talks easier ,not hampering mind peace

My inner truth is to preserve energy towards Lord

And speaking endlessly to almighty God 

My inner truth is also to self explore 

And understand myself more

Each day is a learning dent 

In this life institute, I am always a student

Amazing couplet with rhythmic rhyming words. It is deeply personal and reflective piece capturing the naunces of life navigating social expectations. Its authentic struggling with social interactions, self improvement and emotional balance in a professional and personal space. It is connectable with this journey while staying true to oneself. It creatively express the idea of personal growth and adaptability. The ending ties back to faith and exploration showing deeper aspect of truth. Totally a wonderful poem ❤️
