 Will I be ever enough?
 Skills! They say it matters the most 
 Don't I have any or is there something that's covering it up?
 My insecurities, perplexion and doubts, 
 That I've been carrying its weight for so long, 
 A big stage, focused audience and the three people who are especially invited to judge me, 
 To judge all my mistakes and strengths
 Echoed my voice a thousand times.
 What if I'm considered an unskilled person?
 By all those who didn't even know I existed on this planet until now.
 'Just go with the flow 
 Dive into the sea
 Accept your flaws'
 Told the beloved ones 
 But it didn't leave a single tint of acceptance
 Acceptance of myself
 Acceptance of the way I am
 For at the end all I've got is 'me'
 Pondered the mind so much 
 Will I be ever enough?

And Make Everything Right

-
There was a time, When someone held you tight, Never letting you go away There was a time, When they lifted you in their arms Thinking they could owe you, Gradually they began to push you towards the darkside By never heeding to your dreams. Little did they know, that you were shattered from within. But continued to force yourself to be changed, By following their likes and dreams. Finally, nothing helped their efforts to bear fruit. And now the time has arrived, Where you wish to go back and make everything right.                                                                                                 - Lavita Rego

Unburdened Soul

-
     I harbored anger      Not at everything hurled my way       Or the sharpness of words that could have been fatal.       It wasn't about the potential disaster for everyone around me.       My anger stemmed from allowing them to hit me with full force,      Neglecting the consequences for my heart,       Already too broken to break again.      At war with my emotions, my thoughts,       My actions were beyond comprehension.       Lost love, believing never to be found.       But for how long will I blame the reality      And the burns in my heart      Which I cannot tell the world.       Now I know what I must do, at once      I must stop the crimson fluid from flowing,       And painting the ocean red ...
