The Parts I Play In Other's Story

I stopped asking people to stay in life,

If someone wants to leave, I let them go.

Just like seasons that comes and goes,

So do people in life, I do not hold.

If forgetting me gives them peace,

I let them go with a calm heart.

If staying away helps them heal,

There is no need for a blame game.

Unfollow, Unfriend , mute or block me,

That is up to them; I won’t feel bad.

Life has taught me many things,

No one stays with us forever.

I know what it is to be misunderstood,

To have my words twisted and turned.

When someone sees me as the villain,

I accept the role, as it's their story, not mine.

I am still learning and growing,

As I don't always get things right.

I make mistakes, sometimes my mind can go dark,

Bu I wont lose myself for someone to accept.

People can place me anywhere in their story,

Some may forget and some might remember.

What hurts is not rejection,

But losing myself trying to be what others expect.

So now, I stay low, but also I grow,

I am not afraid to set boundaries.

I know I may not be everyone's favorite,

And that's okay, as it’s not my story to write.

Silent Song with Unheard Music (Rewritten)

In a world where silence sings its song,

The rhythm of soundless music made me strong.

Melody softly sings without a single word,

A song without lyrics, but it is heard.

Delicate note dances in the air,

A sound of my soul, a silent whisper.

No lines to guide and no lyrics to sing,

Yet, the hearts understands the zing.

A sailing ship in a storm's course,

Navigating the storm to find its verse.

Each wave a note, every blow a chord,

In the music of silence, my journey explored.

The wind is now the unseen conductor,

Directing the ship through the oceans water.

No need for words in the dramatic flight,

The soundless music carries all my weight.

So, let the ship sail through the oceans dance,

The night displays, a silent song of romance.

In the heart's quiet harbor, a melody heard,

The rhythm of soundless music, beyond words.

Silence Is Better Than Loud

Sometimes silence is better than loud,

Than shouting voices in the crowd.

No need to scream, no need to fight,

Just walk away into the night.

When a job leaves us feeling drained,

And the soul feels stuck and strained.

It's ok to drop that heavy weight,

To walk away to find life's light.

When a relationship becomes a locked gate,

And a question arises, how can we relate?

It is not our fault that now we are bad,

We are just tired as it often makes us sad.

We dream of things that always refuse,

Trying to walk in someone else's shoes.

They say success will bring us pride,

But inside us, something has died.

We are not weak for turning back,

For leaving pain and changing track.

Even gods left wars to find their peace,

And stars sometimes have to cease.

Mistakes don't mean that we are meant to fall,

We still have the fire and we can make a call.

No one becomes weak in turning back,

As we want to change the pain, not the track.

In walking away we do not lose,

It is the strength that we bravely choose.

To drop the mask and the play,

To find the truth, we must walk away.

Real Meaning of Happiness!

Happiness is not always big or broad,

It doesn’t need a big crowd.

Sometimes it’s just a gentle smile,

That remains with us for a while.

It is waking up with peace in our heart,

Or finishing some things that feel smart.

It is when someone make us tea or food,

And suddenly, we start feeling good.

It is when someone helps us understand,

And teaches us with a kind hand.

Or when we reach home safe and sound,

And love and comfort is all around.

It is a kiss from mother and father’s hug,

It will take away our stress like a drug.

It is when our family holds us tight,

And everything around feels right.

Instead of always wanting more,

Look at what we already have in store.

We will feel warmth inside our chest,

And know that we are truly blessed.

It comes only when we start to see,

And to know how lucky we are to be.

A truth that is simple and clear,

That happiness is always near.

A Meal for My Soul

A pinch of your smile,

soft and bright,

A spoon of your grace

in the morning light.

A handful of your warmth,

tender and true,

A spatula of love from

the heart of you.

All stirred in romance and

seasoned with care,

Served on life's platter;

a moment to share.

No feast could be finer,

in this life's bowl,

With you, I am fed;

heart, body and soul.

Bon Apetite!

The Good and The Clever

In this life, big and small,

People argue and are serious, in all.

One who is good and full of grace,

Another is clever, hiding their face.

They say, "Good Lawyer knows the law,

But a clever one knows the judge's flaw.

A smile, a gift and all favors done,

And just like that, the wicked one has won.

But the righteous knows, it not right,

Even if they see dharma's might.

The cosmic law is strong and clear,

Don't do what is wrong when the truth is near.

Cleverness may bring name and fame,

But karma knows who plays the game.

If justice is bent for selfish gain,

Then the victory will bring pain.

Wisdom comes in a honest way,

Not by manipulating every day.

Wealth from lies won’t stay long,

Shortcuts feel right, yet they are still wrong.

Few speak with heart and stand for truth,

They don't just fight to show the proof.

They may know the flaws and see all,

But will not misuse nor will fall.

The cosmic law will always care,

For those who speak and act what is fair.

Shortcuts might win and they come and go,

But truth gives peace that will deeply flow.

In this world where smartness shines,

Let us not forget the inner lines.

To walk with truth is to walk with pride,

As it is better than a crooked life's ride.

Reflection of Expectation

Everyone who said they love you,

One day, they will forget and leave you too.

Those who said they will always stay,

Will walk away when they find their own way.

Everyone who promised you something,

Will break it one day, like it meant nothing.

Do not blame them, it's not their mistake,

It was your expectation that they broke.

Like seasons, like time, Like weather,

People also change, you should not bother.

Many will come and go, that is how life will be,

For others, we are not a prize nor a trophy.

Like tea or coffee in a warm cup,

Once it is finished, they won't look up.

Once the warmth is gone cold,

People will hesitate to hold.

This is how life plays its game,

Do not expect, and you will avoid the pain.

So, don't wait, don't beg nor cry,

Just with a smile, let the moment fly.
