Why not

     Goa, 2020

 

Hey,

Sit with me,

Tell me how you feel.

How difficult it is now

To put the words to action.

Don't give excuses,

Walk the talk.

Smile.

.

Hey, 

Do you know,

How do I do that?

Can I really do that?

These questions bug me at times.

I give it a try.

It happens.

Life.

.

Oh,

You know what,

I had little dreams 

Colours on my pallette scream

In my vision many times.

I make up my mind,

World open

Doors.

.

I 

Deeply sigh,

Taking leap of faith,

Procrastinating no more,

I get up and dust it all,

While breathing gently,

Taking steps,

Move.

.

Write

A blog post

With all that matters.

Taking pauses in between,

Trusting myself completely,

Daring to write down

How I feel.

Hope.

.

Ah!

Cleaning cache.

Opening laptop,

I get deadly reminders.

A few things to do right now.

Reread the stories.

Search the files,

Save.

.

You

My dear friend,

I want you to know,

My own survival stories,

For you to understand life,

Better perspectives

No blame game

Live.
