A letter to you…

The race of life is unending. But, you are the one who gets to decide what your destination is. Do not let anyone else decide for you – for you know your struggles better.

How do I cage you?
Into words ….
That will sleep,
in a book closed tight,
and will soon go out of sight!

How do I cover you?
For your potential – is far beyond.
Which guard do I order,
to ensure you do not ponder?

Like a butterfly,
wondering in search of something good,
you keep jumping-
wherever you could!

I am scared of
the plight you take,
I am worried of the outcome,
it will make.

Sharp as knife,
bold as fire.
how do I curtail,
your sapphire?

Oh mind… oh mind
your travel tires me,
a small gap of break,
and you are set out on –
an imaginary spree…!

Can we sit and talk?
Decide once and for all..
I want to slowly walk,
and you want to run out at every call…!

We need to settle for once,
at a suitable speed..!
I hope all that I am writing –
makes sense when you read.

So this time – on our date
let’s sit and talk.
oh and no escaping –
and do not act like you are shocked!

I’m listing my complaints -for us to resolve.
You can come up with yours.
Let’s be each other’s doctor
and come up with the cures…!

Don’t be quick to wake a hi !
don’t leave without saying a bye…
When someone you hate speaks –
do not show your emotions with a sigh!

Don’t assume they will know,
don’t be afraid of emotions to show.
Don’t judge by what they say,
don’t get fooled – by their way…!

Don’t hide your tears,
don’t run from your fears.
Don’t bury your dreams,
don’t shut your screams…!

Don’t laugh just for the sake
no one is worth the take.
Don’t stick when it pricks,
some cracks – do not have a fix…!

Don’t hurry to win it all
don’t be ashamed when you fall.
If you are tired of running, just rest
you are expected to live your life
and you get to the decide – what for you is the best…!

Don’t let others tell,
what you did well.
For only you know better
how many times you fell…!

Don’t look happy –
when you are not.
It is okay for people to know
that you have fought…!

It is your life,
and you do not need to hop…!
Experience it all here
even if it means – you have to stop.

Hold on while you can,
For most of your life, you have already ran!
Take a stroll and enjoy every emotion
please always remember –
that YOU are a worth creation…!
