fluttering bird 

a bird with eager wings flutters inside me

awaiting a clear sky to spread its wings

to soar high into the sky

wanting to explore the world on its own

oblivious to the perils of solo flight  

failed attempts could not dampen spirits

patiently braving the grey winter storms

singing a song it alone can decipher

to keep itself from withering

with renewed strength and vitality

knowing

well that one day will be 

freedom from the clouds of negativity 

away from its own captivity

to explore new horizons 

visit new possibilities

to leave behind the pain 

and to relive again

a bird with eager wings flutters inside me.....

Masquerade

Decorative colourful masks each a master piece
concealing scars hiding fears
tears and wounds 
how wonderfully painstakingly made 
to fool the world and create
a mystical artificial happiness
an artistic silky woven tapestry
concealing feelings unnecessarily
thinking we are the only ones suffering
failing to see the whole world is ailing
each one with a mask of its own
each one with wars to conqueror
enduring pains and sufferings
shed the mask be free 
to express joyous energy
let your self loose from the fake identity
live the life you are meant to live
expressing emotions is not weakness
hiding them though is madness
laugh without a care in the world 
smile despite tears
don't let any one judge you
for no one ever walked in your shoes
you  alone are incharge of your destiny
