It's all over me and inside me, From the uppermost layers of dead cells of my skin, To the innermost dark caves of my soul, From birth to till this age, All those fingerprints had mademe, And moulded me.
The tapping hands on my back when I was born to make me breath, The soothing ones when I cried, The loving touch of my mother and father, And the caring ones of my beloved grandparents.
The naughty ones of my little brother who pulled my hair during fights, Teachers who gave their blessings on my head, The friends who loved to hold my hands and hug, And the family next-door who gave me food when my parents were not at home.
The touch of a person who I loved the most, The words of the same which made prints on my heart and soul, The people who disgraced me for who I'm, The hands which tore me inside out.
The little fingers which aroused all my motherly instincts, To love and to care without any conditions, To be strong against all the evils when it's needed, To find happiness and be hopeful about the future.
The person who left me hanging on the thread, The people who ruined everything what was left, The hands which shattered everything one after another, To destroy my life and to crush my spirit.
All those fingerprints in my life, Taught me how to be a human, To be brave and vulnerable at the same time, To be positive when I find negativity all outside, To smile and be kind to someone who is being unkind.
When the night falls, Sun leaves you and the darkness starts to fill your eyeballs, When you stumble on every rock on your way, All alone on a road in a land far far away, When all you can hear are the screams of stillness, And you find signs of increasing frailness, Open your eyes and look in the sky, As the moon and stars are not saying you goodbye, Feel the ground, And walk as if you own the land, Listen to the sound of wind in the trees, The music of the rustling leaves, Settle your nerves, Because you are a part of this powerful universe. -JMJ
It was so wonderful to have you in my hands, That I jumped in excitement like a kid, I hugged and praised all your colourful features, And my heart swelled with pride because I knew that you belonged to me. When the wind came, you started to flutter, And I knew that you wanted to fly high in the sky, So, I carefully chose the string to tie it with you, Then ran towards the highest peak that I ever knew.
I looked for the wind directions to help you with your flight, And slowly detached myself from you for your wish to come true, When I saw your happiness I had to cut the string that attached you with me, To let you go,to see you roam freely. But, when the wind settles and you find that there is not even a breeze, To keep you motivated with your flight, Find your way back home, And I will be waiting with the perfect string to launch you back in the sky. -JMJ
Please leave your comments on the post as I would really love to read them.
Strength is when you get up every morning, And all you want is to do moaning, Instead you decide to get dressed, Believing that you are amazingly blessed.
Strength is when you are in a rabbit hole, But try to put a smile on every soul, And even when you are tired to take another step, You lend a hand who have fallenon their doorstep.
Strength is when your heart bleeds, Still take the decisions according to their needs, Even though the person has hurt you so much, You just hope for their happiness without any grudge.
Strength lies in our values and integrity, It lies in understanding our talent and capability, Strength is not only physical but emotional and mental too, It's walking in the darkness keeping your head high and believing that you will getthrough. -JMJ
When the whole world stops, And there is nothing to hope, You give your smile, To convince me that all is well, Oh baby! You are strong. When my heart starts to bleed, And it gets hard for me to breathe, Then you hug me and kiss me to calm my mind, I see the resilience in your eyes, Oh baby! You are strong. When it gets hard to take another step, All I see are the walls and there is no way to escape, You take my hand to go for a walk, And show me a world beyond those walls, Oh my baby! You are strong. -JMJ
Alone in a deep forest, Thinking about whether to protest, Against all discriminations and bias, Or to hide away and be pious. She saw innocents being crucified, Blamed and buried for something they had never tried, Powerful was taking advantage and pulling the strings, And then they claimed about their sufferings! The reality was reversed as people closed their eyes, The perpetrators said they were victimized, Now, how can she just be quiet? The perfect storm was in formation and she said to them, try it. -JMJ
You will find the greatest human spirits, In the hell's deepest pits, Where people refuse to surrender to what happened to them, And don't allow to be defined by the people around them.
There is an unrelenting human spirit in each one of us, That helps us to fight any evil forces, An undefeatable mind and a body in motion, With courage, resilience, love and compassion.
A morning so beautiful, How could I not be grateful? Yesterday is all gone, And tomorrow is still not grown. All I have is a wonderful present in my hand, How can I just let it go like sand? This life's path is narrow with rock and thorn, So I start the day with a silent prayer in my lawn. A prayer to keep my hopes high, And to keep my feet on the ground while reaching for the moon in the sky. -JMJ
