I try….

I try so hard but people just don’t understand

That what’s inside of me,

is absolute chaos.

 

I am underwater

Gasping for air

drowning,

falling,

apart.

For after the calm,

Comes the raging waves.

 

I am the ghost,

Screaming for help in the shadows of darkness,

Screaming till my throat is raw,

But no one hears me,

For I am the face behind the mask.

 

I have found that online

It is easy to be cheerful,

It’s easy to pretend you are happy, 

when all you are,

are just words on a screen.

Staring back at you.

 

But I am a monster,

A raging monster

Because no matter how hard I try,

No one understands,

That what’s inside of me

Is absolute chaos.

..SUICIDE..

It’s really hard trying to understand what’s going on in a suicidal person’s mind. Their thoughts seem absurd to us that we often choose to neglect them thinking that it’s “just a phase” or “they’ll get over it” or “they’re just angry” or “they can’t be serious”, mind you this is the worst decision we’ve been making, instead let’s show them that they are significant, loved and cared for, let’s try to understand their point of views and stop criticism.. avoid using harsh words around them because for them these words are so loud that it causes chaos in their heads.

My Top 5 Learnings from COVID-19

During this time when we are surrounded with so much negative news everywhere, I think it is more important than ever to see some positivity. Through my poem, I would like to be able to help people find a ray of optimism amidst the pandemic and see the little happiness that surrounds our everyday life.

NORMALIZING ALL BODY TYPES AND PUTTING AN END TO BODY SHAMING

NORMALIZING ALL BODY TYPES AND PUTTING AN END TO BODY SHAMING

Every day as youngsters we hear from our peers these clothes make me look so skinny, it’s better if you pose like this it makes you look slim. We say all this as if being a little chubby or fat is bad. Why can’t we normalize being fat? Bullying your friends for being fat doesn’t make you seem popular or cool. And this doesn’t end here; people are bullied for being skinny too. You may have been a victim or a villain. God has made us all with the same blood and flesh after all. Why not appreciate all forms of beauty?
