I
Everyday grind
is full of worldly pretensions
So often times everyone's
force to conceal emotions
II
Suppressed feeling
can make one look formidable
But deep inside
they make you more vulnerable
III
All varies when it comes
to showing emotions
So learn to respect
and value other's intuitions
IV
We all have free will
and own point of views
So do not be afraid
to say no and refuse.
V
Misguided conclusion
and cruel intention
Will earn equally
horrid lumps and retribution
VI
While honest motives
and fair percipience
Gain trust, loyalty
and taintless conscience
VII
Expressing oneself
makes one feel free and alive
It unleashes happy thoughts
and positive drive
VIII
Being true will mold you
to grow kind but tough
All it takes is courage
and to be brave enough
IX
Being true to yourself
and to others too
Leads to a life so fruitful
and free from woe
X
One owes to be genuine
and trust worthy
So life will smile at you
and bring bounty.

Ode to the Lost
PoetryNot a story but a collection of poems I wrote over the years. I started writing poems during my late teenage years. It served as my outlet to keep angst and anxiety at bay. Hope you'll find it therapeutic and worthy of your time.
