266. Boisterous

 Noisy , energetic,rowdy , active, overexcited 

Boisterous 

My nature of being Boisterous have been a boon and bane many time 

Some experience is expensive but they are mine

Since my inner-child wounds weren’t addressed, I ended up becoming extreme in nature

I am too excited, too loud , cry and laugh too much as my feature 

I was silent girl on School untill one day when a thief came over my door

I felt as if I heard some noise and that was the exact truth to core

In school when teacher asked everyone to say a story nice 

I slowly narrated this thief story adding some tail and spice

I saw my classmates giggling over when I exaggerated the topic with some animation 

I felt validated and then saw a pattern where I was likable with this initiation 

My nature modified from being silent to extrovert 

I saw more bubbly and carefree I was, I became popular part

In college once my teacher jokingly said for my huge appearance 

That only a wrestler can marry me , I took my stance 

In front of all I said I will marry whoever I want to , your comment was not necessary here 

I was then chosen as class representative as I would speak without fear

Then when I entered marriageable age , my proposal was out 

The men I came across feared and had doubt 

My boisterous nature was a threat to many 

Few rejections in life changed me in bits tiny 

At times I am moody and I don't like interacting at all 

It doesn't mean I have changed it just a phase afterall 

Being Boisterous is my confidant 

Especially in office atmosphere it's a need be confident 

Being Boisterous is not bad but letting it overpower me is the issue that last 

As I learn about my unhealed self , I forgive myself for my mistakes past 

I now monitor my nature on when I get too excited and try to calm myself down

As my Boisterous nature shouldn't make me a means to be treated me as clown

So when I apply mindfulness to my existing extremities 

I try to utilise my energy in mindful activities

I do feel I am blessed with ability to command attention 

But it's up to me if I use it just for seeking validation or actually being productive and serving right intention 

I accept I have something unhealed even now and I am taking it slow

Good thing is remote control of my Boisterous trait is with me now !!!

265. Aggrandise

 The new word I learnt is aggrandise,

to make something seem large in others’ eyes.

During my annual leave and family ties,

the love I received felt warm and wise.

I like to obseve how someone keeps their home neat 

Some ideas just cross my mind in repeat 

Example I saw a beautiful embroidery work in a drawing room cushion 

It curated many home decor ideas so I tried to sketch it for my reference and passion 

Those relatives were kind to aggrandise the sketch and kept the showers of praise

I cut my hair short for a little surprise,

but elders were concerned for the length they prize

Their comments were tender, affectionate cries 

were all a gentle form of aggrandise.

I brought nothing with me, yet gifts I received 

love wrapped in moments wieved

I eat early, so when hunger began to rise,

I didn't wish to interrupt the conversation yet whispered to serve dinner 

They burst into laughter, warm and wise,

and served me food with sparkling eyes.

I felt so shy to be the focus of attention all time 

somone asked if I am satisfied with the dinner , I replied , I will only after having favourite dessert mine 

When I said ' I get angry when hungry ' it wasn't in a joke style 

But all were just waiting for me to speak and pull my legs all this while 

It was nostalgia to recite poetry in front of all 

I missed checking my phone as I was involved in learning cooking and heartily was interacting with all 

As my writing style is not conventional, I somewhere knew the expectations must have been different 

But still the praises I received were aggrandised that I started feeling nervous dent

My nature is such that I appreciate on face if I find something nice 

But I can't take compliments aggrandise 

As I am jack of all and master of none 

And my moody nature makes my silent creativity fun 

So at times when affection was over pouring such 

I was feeling if I even deserve it considering I am hardly in touch 

One perspective surely changed in me this trip folks 

Few are fond of me and they love to listen to my endless talks 

My parents would be happiest to know this love sea 

Although I see the fondness for me but I like to maintain profile low key !!!
