The Churning

@Pachmarhi,MP

Let world go by,

I don't want to run with it.

Just want to remember the times

When I had the world to myself,

Nothing else required,

Very little and simple desires.

I was happy every moment every day,

I  screamed, I shouted never I doubted.

The days were privileged then,

Never needed to hide one’s ignorance,

A chance to be amazed at every other thing .

I wanted to achieve and prove,

I was true to myself, was cared and loved.

Now I find myself crooked and crippled,

My mind is filled with memories of hatred,

jealousy and envy for every other.

I see the problems of life,

Some I inherited, major I created.

I find I am ruining myself,

I find myself left behind.

I don't know what I am really looking at,

If this is the world, I was so excited at,

Where I was my actual self,

Where everything seemed so true and perfect.

There’s a child inside every one of us,

A curious mind, imagining everything with no shortcuts

It never dwelled in past,

It never worried about the future.

The child believed in and remained faithful to others.

It is the time to unleash the child within,

Time to rekindle the divinity in waiting,

Facing the fears,

Welcoming the change,

Being true and respecting the self inside,

rather than being an outcome of circumstances outside.©
