I don't spend enough time doing the things I should do. I am stuck somewhere between responsibility and dreams. I want to live life intensely, loudly, poetically. Instead I am walled off. Hidden behind of veil of strength and propriety.
Am I broken? Am I healing? Am I incapable of intensity? Have I lost my passion? Have I just become too strong? An impenetrable fortress? Am I worried about what others will think? Am I afraid of reflection? Of rejection? Am I afraid of what I will find if I dig deeper?
I am afraid that I will be misunderstood. Rejected. Pushed aside for not being what is expected, undesired. It is scary to put your soul out there. I am in awe of those who are able to find the words, the brush strokes, the lens view, to truly show their view of the world, their soul, their inner most person.
I don't let that part of me out very often. I want to be brave enough to live without that fear of the rain.
I sit and watch
as the rain falls
from a sky so dark and gray
Is this life
a crying sky
if so,
not even I can fight
I'm tired of hurting
I'm tired of tears
I'm tired of being alone
for all these years
I want peace
and I want love
I want to break free
to fly above!

awesome awesome awesome :) :) :) :) soooooo good like really :)
sometimes breaking free is just a decision we have to make...and in doing so we find our dreams....though also our dreams often find us when they are ready...
You have done so, Madhu! Expressing it loudly for all to see has necessarily freed yourself off the shackles. You did one better, Ma'am, for not many had even realized it. Wonderful thoughts!

Yeah one must break free sometimes to find what they want, or to help what one wants to find them.

U h'v written those words which many of us want to express but don't know how to express.
The 1st two lines and the last "I am tired of..fly above" was so touchy.
I believe that U have potential to do everything whatever U want.

Hi
Your words... Wow.
Can I publish your words on my Facebook wall?
I'll obviously give the credit to you, with your name at the bottom of the post.
This is just too beautiful not to share.
Warm regards,
Elani

And yeah.. thanks for your kind words :)
Awesome, thanks. Your words really resonated with me this morning... I'm always totally taken aback when a piece of my inside flows from someone else's pen. It's weirdly comforting :)
Keep writing xx

Also, do mind sharing the link of your post with me? (only if you are comfortable with it).
