You

You are gift 
        to this world;
        embrace your
        uniqueness,

Your soul is 
        a diamond; 
        pare it down 
        to luster,

You are here 
        for a reason;
        leave the imprints 
        of notable existence.

                          -Mahima Goel 

Life's pathways

It's all about you 

Have you ever felt like being so messed up in life that nothing seems to go at its right place. Negativity surrounds you from all possible directions, leaving no escape. Your actions are considered as your sin, and your good deeds are of no value. People have endless stuff to discuss upon behind your back, you don't even have an idea about which.

You probably must have. At least once in life.

It happens like this only, you know! Hundreds of mouths will continue to depress you. They'll have a never ending opinion of you. The more you'll give the less they'll feel. But comforting others doesn't always ask you to lose yourself. There comes a time when you need to prioritize yourself. You need to define the limits of your relation with yourself and with others. After crossing that limit, you cannot please others, just to save your relation with them. You are not left with any choice. You need to take stand for your self esteem and no one else will.

And remember you do nothing wrong if you start thinking for yourself first!

Isn't it funny how people change? Actually it's not the people who change, time does. Time has a great way to show what matters for them, for you, for me. It's the mask that falls off the faces and a true picture is shown. But one thing I would say to remember, never let anyone be the reason who you are today. Change for yourself, not for them. Change for your betterment, not for theirs. After all, it's all about you, only you can make difference.

Keep shining, keep smiling and love yourself! :)

My last wish

Struggling to breathe;

Now only left with
Few minutes to regret,
I wish I knew it before...

Laying on the death bed
With a heavy heart
Holding mixed untold feelings,
I wish I could burst it out...

Getting harder to respire;
Eyes starts to give up
And flash from the past
I wish time to stop here...

Recalling the faces that I lived for;
For the last time,
And 'the time' came
To depart this life,
All mute, all at once!

                                        -Mahima Goel 

A letter to time

Dear time,

        Will you wait for a while?

        I wanna relive this life...
        To catch a butterfly, to smell the flowers,
        To sleep for a couple of days, to stitch the dream,
        Or even to do nothing for a moment...
     
        Will you stop for me?
        I need time to find the time...
        To talk to breeze, to hear the silence,
        To walk with someone I love, to gaze at stars,
        Or simply to make time for life...
Will you cease?
                                                   -Mahima Goel
