Fallen, Not Failed
Yes, we lost. We wish we had not. Yes, it's a big blow. We had never expected it to be so. Still, I say, We have fallen, not failed. Yes, it doesn't seem right. Maybe, we should've given a better fight. Yes, we see all those staring eyes, Those people thinking we were all lies. [...]
You are an Eagle
An eagle can fly to heights that a crow can't reach. There will always be some crows in your life pecking at you, trying to bait you into a fight. But the only way to argue with a crow is to come down to their level. If you find yourself trying to prove your point, [...]

It's this moment That actually counts. Not the one before, Not the one after. Only this to something amounts. We only get a glimpse To keep in memory's store. Just one chance To live it Or keep wanting for more. So stop looking Hither and thither. For before you know It will be gone. It [...]

Those dreamy tales Of knights and damsels I blame For my unrealistic expectations. The ones that told me To wait To be saved With patience and poise. What they didn't tell Was the harsh truth That all knights were busy Saving themselves. So if a damsel Waited too long, She'd rather be prepared For her [...]
Embarrassment
Do you know why we feel embarrassed? It's because we weigh someone else's opinion more than our own. We acknowledge that they know it better than us. We submit to them. Should we? I spent a large part of my life worrying about what others think of me. Maybe they did think those very things [...]
Why We Write
Why do we write? Is it for fame or money or just the love of it? If you are a voracious reader, then ten lines down anyone's work and you can easily guess the aim behind the writing. But frankly, does the why even matter? If you ask me, I would say no. The reason [...]
