I wish i could take this pain out of my chest Because i know for sure That tonight i will be weeping in my sleep I know for sure That when i wake up tomorrow The ache will only continue The next day will be the same
But i am hoping for a night Where i will sleep loved And wake up tomorrow Blessed
In my life poetry, Is the only place where I've full liberty. Liberty of thinking and Conveying, Conveying without any hesitation and fear. Fear of being judged. Judged by those who never understood me.
I'm thankful that I have a place where no boundaries exist!!!
All I did was being nice, But my surrounding wasn't so nice, I keep asking myself, What should I do? Should I act as a mirror play like them?, Else , Should I ignore the pests and be myself?
Entered a club At the age of 8 Table tennis being played Even 8 was delayed
Witnessed pure magic Seeing the greats practice Knew something special was happening Grateful that i was in the audience
Blessed to see the players All achievers one way or the other All time greats taking their place Opportunity to observe pure god's grace
Greatest classroom to attend So many lessons to comprehend Every player a teacher Their conduct the chapter
Winning and Loosing Attitude towards them What it takes to win How lives evolve within
Sportsmanship at its pinnacle 4 tables an Oracle How empty you are Decides how much they fill yours
Players winners Champions and legends All in the same den Learning from each other Lessons out of every counter
Doesn't come easy Play till go crazy Biggest lesson of integrity Equanimity and humility given as bonus daily
Lessons free of cost Just by observing them i got Single minded dedication to the sport Not winning still a sport
Elite not by any other measure Except their sweat that dripped on the table Wiping the table with a cloth Knew what sacrifice was
Today it serves me best When in doubt i look back Memory helping to recall the facts Implementing them i realise how tough they were
Indebted to all Equally for allowing Me to be Part of the elite Front row seats To see Greats and greatness Merging Feat very few could have claimed to see
A small building Housed on a small street Outside hanging a small board Going in as an amateur and a boy Come out a champion and a man Mylapore Gymkhana the wizard Magic wand its players Stood the tallest in the World
Blinded by race Color Religon Is something very common Met many during my lifetime Their heart is camouflaged By the broken mirror they have Voluntarily placed as the smokescreen images show up that are split By their thoughts and feelings Which are corrupted by the seeds sown centuries ago Bearing harvest today in the form of a divided society Now the soil is fertile Right up the alley Of those who want to dissect
A boy of Seven Visually impaired at birth Unable to see the world Understanding of the images Based on what his father told
Initially felt compassion And empathy at his Congenital condition Observing for a longer period Seeing him at peace with himself Clapping hands in rhythm to the music played live Didn't seem to miss anything He didn't possess for him to forego
Parents limpid with His lacking vision That extra care To protect him any further impairment also absent Visually challenged for no fault of his A sense lesser than his fellow Didn't seem to affect Carried on with his defect
Longer i watched Lesson i was taught My own experiences Peeling like a skin on burns Were opening their doors To learn a few lessons more Simple to correct I had got it backwards Defect was none in him He is infact perfect Defect in the eyes of the beholder Whose Soul is trial under fire One sense less Was i Who bereft of my soul Lost due to the deceit of the world Manipulated my way through Thinking i had made it too
I may never see him again Did i see him today? He never saw me today But he will remember me forever He saw through his lack of sight but had vision I have sight but lack the rest
Started by feeling Sorry for his lacking Ended up with self pity Laughing at my own Free Spirited deserves the world Opinionated and all clustered Deserves to be told
