Because of someone like me.

Love is something which is close to my heart

It is also close to your heart

It is a universal feeling

Felt by all

Loved by all

Missed by all

Adored by all

But then, there are the lucky ones

Who get to live their whole lives

With the love of their life

Oh! So beautiful!

What a great sight to see them together always

I feel jealous

I feel guilty for not having an ever-lasting love

I feel guilty for letting the chance go by

I feel dreadful for knowingly saying  goodbye

Because I know I won’t find someone like you

EVER!

But I had to be selfish

I had to think about me first

Because I also won’t find someone like me too!

P.S.: How is this free-verse poem? Please do let me know. Have you ever been in such a situation when you had to prioritize yourself before your love? How did you cope with this? Happy last 2 days of February ❤

Afraid of what not..

We are so very afraid

Afraid of the known

Afraid of the unknown

Afraid of being rejected

Afraid of not meeting the expectations

Afraid of giving it a try

Afraid of keeping it in the heart

Afraid of letting go

Afraid of letting in

Afraid of the stormy night

Afraid of the peaceful dream

Afraid of the closeness

Afraid of the distances

Afraid of being in a limelight

Afraid of being ignored

Afraid of reaching greater heights

Afraid of not giving it a try

Afraid of daily routine

Afraid of the buried past

Afraid of the uncertain future

Afraid of the being a burden

Afraid of speaking up

Afraid of showing true emotions

Afraid of hiding true emotions

Afraid of what to do

Afraid of what not to do

Afraid of anything

Afraid of everything

Afraid of the never ending list

Afraid of life crawling away

Afraid of the people walking away

Afraid of things falling apart

Afraid of the choosing sides

Afraid of not following your heart

Afraid of following your heart & getting nowhere

Afraid of the known

Afraid of the unknown

Afraid of being afraid

Afraid of being unafraid

The more afraid you are

The more courageous you will be

Provided you want to stop being afraid

And become unafraid and free.
