GRATEFUL

Lately I have realized I have become ungrateful to life

I, like any other person, am upset about every tiny thing going wrong

Not realizing that I am so much at better position

And there are people who have a lot less but are a lot happier

They inspire me because they don’t complain of their shortcomings

Rather they are happy to be alive and are grateful to life

I feel embarrassed by the way I am unhappy when things don’t go my way

I have so much to be grateful about; I am perfectly healthy,

I am not mentally or physically challenged 
I have great friends and family and I am always surrounded by them

So why the constant frowns, angers, tears and complaints?

Why can’t we just be happy with being able to breathe?

Feel the wind through our hair and wish upon twinkling stars

Feel the warmth of the gleaming sun and chills of the falling rain

There are so many reasons to be grateful towards the life you have

Don’t you think so too? So be grateful, you will be a lot happier J

BEAUTIFUL QUOTES BY MARILYN MONROE

“I’m selfish, impatient, &a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, & at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best”

“I’m pretty, but I’m not beautiful. I sin, but I’m not the devil. I’m good, but I’m not an angel”

“Nothing lasts forever. So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take chances and never have regrets because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted”

“No girl should ever forget that she doesn’t need anyone who doesn’t need her”

“I believe everything happens for a reason. People change so you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they’re right. You believe lies, so that you can learn to trust no one but yourself and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together”

“Beauty does not always feel beautiful”

“Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground”

“Everyone’s a star and deserves the right to twinkle “

“A wise girl kisses but doest love, listens but doesn’t believe, and leaves before she is left”

                - Marilyn Monroe

IN LOVE WITH THE WRONG GUY

There were a million reasons not to fall for you

So many situations suggesting I pave my way away from you

Yet I chose, or rather I was drawn towards you

And now I have fallen in love with the wrong guy

Sometimes you look right through me, forgetting that I exist

I make hopeless attempts to make you see me

I knew I would fail, and I knew I was walking a dead-end road

When I chose to fall in love with the wrong guy

Now I sit, think and wonder

Is there a fault in our stars, or rather in my stars?

Then I think “nah!” That’s not it…

It’s simply cuz I chose to fall in love with the wrong guy

LITTLE THINGS THAT YOU SAY

You caught my attention with that awkward smile of yours

People thought you had funny, meaningless things to say

But when I listen to the little things that you say

It melts my heart, with the simplicity of your thoughts

I see the honesty and pure intentions in your words

Sometimes they make me laugh, and sometimes wonder

How can you fit so many marvels in those little things you say?

You don’t say much and perhaps it’s a shortcoming for others

But to me, that is an art…art of words and speech

Because you say so much with those little things you say

JUDGE ME NOT!

Judge me not by the color of my skin

Because color of my skin doesn’t define who I am

Judge me not by the race of my kind

Because individuality is the ultimate race

Judge me not by the way I speak

Because some things are much more than words

Judge me not, why judge me?

Because deep within we are all the same

AROUND YOU

You will not always see me

But you should know, I am always around you

Feel my presence in the fragrance of your surroundings

Hear my laughter in the whispers of the wind

See my shadow alongside yours

I live with you in the fragments of your memories
I am not gone, I am just around you

BEING IMPERFECT

Under the fantasy of what could have happened

People forget to see what is happening

While longing to change the past

We let the present be wasted

Desiring for what we don’t have

We never learn the values of what we have

And while we waste our lives comparing ourselves with others

We forget to see the uniqueness that we have in us

And it’s sad, because the day you realize your true worth

It would have been too late…so always know that,

Being imperfect is the perfect way of being human

THE DAY I MET YOU

I have met with so many people

Oh! I’ve even fallen in love

Different emotions with everyone

Some driving me crazy, some making me smile

But the day I met you I knew

What we have is a different kinda love

It’s a forever kinda love

Now that I’ve met you, I know

What head over heel feels like

Never knew this kinda emotions

Tingling feelings in my belly, constant smile across my face

Cuz  the day I met you I knew

What we have is a different kinda love

It’s a forever kinda love

I REFUSE!

I refuse to be where I am not wanted

I refuse to be in your life for your amusement

I refuse to be just an option to you

I refuse to be wrong just to please you

I refuse to be someone I am not

I refuse to please u with lies

Oh! So now you hate me? Don’t want me?

Well guess what? I refuse to care

Cuz I can still look at the mirror and smile  J

OTHER ME

Wait a bit, why the rush?

Stay a little longer, get to know me

I am not always this rude

I am not always this boring

If u wait a bit and stay a little longer

You will know the other me

You will see that I am silly

I have funny dreams and desires

I cry like a baby over a stupid movie

And I can make you laugh all the time

But all that’s hidden from the outside world

So wait a bit, stay a little longer,

Cuz then you will have seen the other me

And perhaps you will know me

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

St. Valentine’s Day is the most romantic day of the year

 And it’s a day where we express all of our love to everyone

But don’t think Valentine’s Day is only for couples

It’s simply a day of love…any form of love in my opinion

So happy Valentine’s Day to all of you who touched my past

Fragments of your memories still lingers in my mind

And honestly, I have had some fine moments with you all

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you in my life

Perhaps I don’t say it often, but if you are in my life

Then I love you more than I usually express

And thank you for being in my life and I hope you will always be there

To those who are yet to be met, Happy Valentine’s Day to you too

I hope we will have a great Valentine’s in the coming years J

YOUNG AGAIN!!

 As I browse through the images of the past

My mind wanders through the memories

And I wish to be young again

Go back to those gone days in the past

Where we had no deceptions and politics

Only innocence wrapped our hearts

Oh! I really wish to be young again

Feel that immense joy that we derived from little things around us

Day dream and imagine the wildest things

For in our hearts we always believed that everything is possible

I wish I was young again

So all my fantasies feels real and achievable

So that I don’t have to rationalize all my thoughts and actions

So that friendship sustains on simple smile across the room
So that I am not always conscious of people judging me

So that happiness means a penny on the floor

Why did I grow up?

Why can’t I be young again?

LOVE

Sometimes I wonder who created love. GOD??

But more often, I wonder who created the rules of love

Why do we think the love we have is true, but judge other’s love

Who set the rules saying we have to love our kind?

Why are eyebrows raised when we see a different love?

Why do people not accept the love for different color,

Love for different race, love for different religion?

I think it’s the same kind of love that you feel for your beloved

So how can you not understand that similar love of someone else?

Love is suppose to make us compassionate and understanding

But in this era, love is not about passion, it’s about competition

If you can’t encourage other’s love, at least don’t discourage it

Because that love is still precious to them

And even if they don’t deserve respect, their love does

LOVE LIKE JULIET'S

Do you ever wonder what it is to love like Juliet?

Love like Juliet’s

Loving someone beyond comprehension

Forgetting herself when around him

Breaking all the rules just to be with him

Love like Juliet’s

Loving someone beyond existence

Giving up on life because death seems easier to embrace

Rather than living a life without him

Love like Juliet’s

Loving someone beyond death

Desperately seeking refuge in death

Hoping it would finally unite them

Love like Juliet’s

Love filled with pain and hardship

Yet so strong that she didn’t mind being a masochist 

A love story that she ultimately changed into a legend

IF YOU WERE HERE

If you were here

I would have asked you to stay

And to hold me in your arms

I am tired of running from myself

If you were here

I would have confided in you

And poured my heart out

I am tired of concealing my emotions

If you were here

I would have laid beside you

And let your calm face soothe my heart

And for once, be myself, the real me

2013

Dear 2013,

You gifted me a package with all the emotions in it.

I experienced happiness and sorrows

I smiled and cried on various occasions

I have had opportunities, some I grasped

And some slipped away from me

I rejoiced on some of my decisions and

Regretted over others

 I met many people and some became friends

Some tired to pull me down

All in all, it was a year I will constantly remember

Like any of the gone years

But as you leave us all, I hope you made me a little wiser

And a little better human than I was when I welcomed you
