Sweet but sour,
Kind but inconsiderate;
Something your mind can’t penetrate.
Social and outgoing yet so silent.
Something you can’t devour,
Might seem insignificant but is monumental.
Life might get violent,
But will always remain gentle.
While strange starts to feel normal.
Life is always a little out of ordinary,
Still live life with your morals.
Celebrate defeat like victory,
Happiness is running in every cell, every neuron.
My life is an oxymoron.

NO PAIN IS SMALL
No pain is small.
Your perspective may be contrasting,
But their pain may be everlasting.
Souls may be crying,
Tired of trying,
Pain can be seen in all.
Holding on to the thread,
Holding on for dear life.
No pain is small.
Their world may fall
Fall due to no meaning,
Fall due decline.
Falling in fear,
Falling in line,
No pain is small.
Your perspective may be contrasting
But their pain may be everlasting,
No pain is small.

FEELINGS TO FEEL
A slight expression,
A little appreciation,
Like a melody to ears
Longing to hear it for years.
Tears, tears aren’t just drops
Coins of gold flow till they can’t stop.
Smile brighter than lights on New York streets
Sweeter than a bag of treats.
Everyone has a feeling to feel,
Let the them flow in their divergent motions.
Something to do instead of Instagram reels.
Take a hold of your emotions,
Feel the feeling you can’t deny,
Everyone has a feeling to feel,
Be it melancholy, anger or something alive;
Alive as hope, gratitude, joy
Feelings aren’t to play with like a toy.
Feel real not just reel.
-Awalkathuria
HOME
It is not just a place,
It could be a memory;
A person standing in under your glaze.
A state of mind that takes you to space,
Hoping the feeling lasts an eternity.
Value of it more than ever,
Because it’s lies beyond the above;
And feel this feeling before its all over.
Later wishing we lived there forever,
Because HOME is a feeling of love.
-Awalkathuria
INTROVERT
Caught up in your phone,
Away from the talks,
Overthinking existence,
During silent midnight walks.
Hiding from everyone else’s thoughts,
Social skills like water in a drought,
Thoughts of what ‘they’ will think,
Better to hide from talks that stink.
Read, write even sleep to distract,
Hiding behind a mask; broken behind intact.
Even making plans for them to avert.
That’s the story of a little introvert.
-Awalkathuria
RAINBOW ENDS
There are millions of myths of old.
Some say there lies a pot of gold,
Some talk of other prizes,
Rainbow ends are full surprises.
Rainbow brings colour to a life,
To get to the end one must strive.
Some say there stands your soulmate,
myths or facts, the stories are great.
But the truth is, there is no end.
It’s just an old trend.
Like this little illusion,
Life has no typical conclusion.
-Awalkathuria
CONFIDENCE THROUGH MY FLAWS
Every rose has its thorns,
Every human has their flaws,
Every typical insecurity been caused,
Breaking down every false walls.
Every flaw and the attention it draws,
You just want the bickering to pause.
Wear your flaws with pride,
Confidence in your stride.
Every insecurity in you that confide,
What ‘they’ say doesn’t decide,
If you wear it or hide.
Confidence shows in your life’s ride.
-Awalkathuria
Mirror Mirror
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?
The answer you seek, isn’t the one you want.
If there is a name, it isn’t true at all.
Some short, someone tall
No way to decide what is the right call.
Curvy hips and tiny waist me not be your number one,
But it maybe the dream of someone.
Insecure of your legs or waist is not a loss
Insecurities just bring chaos.
Everybody is perfect in one or other way,
Wanting be someone else, it will lead you astray.
The true question is the following one…
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the kindest of them all?
Who is the nicest of them all?
They say don’t judge a book by its cover,
See what is inside,
It maybe full of ego and pride,
Or maybe it will be a bright light to make you smile.
Don’t change your looks, hoping to be better,
Spark the light inside of you and let it shine brighter.
Personality builds is a person’s profile.
A negative one breaks everything in you and the outside.
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
who is the fairest of them all?
It’s me, it’s you, it’s everyone around.
Around with a bright smile, someone who isn’t take it all.
