ABLE ?

-
VERY OFTEN WE FACE THINGS THAT MAKE US QUESTION OUR OWN ABILITIES. THIS POEM HERE IS ABOUT SUCH SELF-INTROSPECTION. HOPE YOU LIKE IT 😊




Everyday, every minute I dream
of what seems unachievable,
and with every passing breath
I ask myself - am I able ?
The path that I have taken
is not even trudge-able,
and I can't help myself
thinking - I am dispensable.
The world that I am trying to know
is even real or just a fable?
The thoughts that possess my mind,
I know for sure - they are malleable.
The stars in the sky that I pursue
others think are unfathomable.
But looking up and seeing them
makes me feel - I am able.

No introduction or conclusion for this poem. Just read and let me know your thoughts... A life full of yearning, we have lived, Me, my lady and this house of ours. Craving the laughs and the sweet cries, of a little soul that could bless the hours. And that day of immense pleasure came, when the gods bestowed upon us, our wish. With a baby on the way, and smiles on our faces, Each day of longing was a day of bliss. This tiny soul was unknown to me, Yet, I dreamt, and it would lighten me up.

Tiny baby shoes and clothes of all kinds, Nappies and a bottle of milk to sip. The day of birth, I could barely contain, My great anxiety and excitement. I could hear the screams, the panting breaths, As I waited for the cries of our infant. The moaning stopped but the cry never came, Fearing the worst, I ran to the room. There she

PART 2 : AN AILMENT OF SADNESS

I know it won't be acknowledged, My petty yet pretty love for you. And as much as it hurts to write this down, I'll be damned, if all this isn't true. Somewhere, out there, beyond my reach, I know you still wander around. So, I look for places that you'd fit in, And listen for that familiar sound. Uneasiness grows, fear fills me, Countless questions make my heart sink. My whole body seems paralyzed, It fills my mind; I can't even think. Do you have a photo of me, with you in it or rather "US" in it? Was I worthy of your camera's flash? and those thoughts that made our smiles lit. Have I done you so wrong that you refuse, to even look in my direction? Was it so hard to put me down, with a little more of your affection? Never did you kiss me, at least miss me, So, my wishful thinking keeps me sane. I wasn't the one for your drunk texts, I was painting our smiles on your windowpane. I didn't hide, I'm still here, And I didn't hide even bac
