Dreamcatcher

I still sleep with a dreamcatcher hanging above my bed. For the world it is just a souvenir from a culture they are in awe with. But for us, it is the symbol of a legend we still believe in. They look at the pretty beads and feathers adorning the ring. We see the web…

When Adulthood Calls

To the girl stepping into adulthood, Your days go by in a blur. The world is a crazy maze and each day you try to find your way out. But you are clueless, more than you’ve ever been. Panic grips you as you realize that life as an adult is not how the teen you…

Woman Of My Dreams

I fight for myself and fight for others in need. I hold my ground when you are shaking the earth under me. My thoughts are my own and I speak what I think. I know what I deserve and won’t settle for less. I am the woman of my dreams.

The Prince Of My Story

Flown away by a man, into a world of dreams I am not the flower that awaits sunny gleams Rescued from a prison palace burning in flames I am not another one of pretty delicate dames I do not smile coy for the spinning world around I am a wounded lioness who roars when bound!…

With A Click

“A woman can’t do this job, it just isn’t a woman thing.” “Women look good on the other side.” “Do you even know how to handle that thing?” So many insults came her way. With each rejection her resolve got stronger. Her fight against the society got fierce. She wasn’t playing the “feminist” here but…

Decolored

Thousand questions in my mind Answers to which are lost in you I try today I try every day to find But they are long overdue Carrying this void in my heart I move ahead in a new quest But to stop me comes a dart Can’t go before I answer the test What questions…

Mantra For Life

Socrates was a man of honor and his sayings are practical in the world of today. Where people are more interested in pulling others down rather than uplifting themselves, his quotes seem very apt. “Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, weak minds discuss people” is a quote that draws attention whenever you find…

That Little Girl

You want to give up, don’t you? Okay, forget about what you have done so far and end your journey mid way. But before you let the last clasp break open and free you from your dreams just think about that little girl who dreams of becoming like you someday! Can you disappoint her and…
