Today I thank god for water
Yes! water...
I remember that hot summer afternoon
When my body felt like a barren land
And I had to provide water to it
When that divine creation of God
went down my throat...it felt like flowers
growing on my body.
My tiny cells rejoiced like the people...
Like the people whose barren land had got rain.

Emily Dickinson wrote it right,
"The brain is wider than the sky."
I'll write...The thoughts are free
like birds in that sky.
It's just, some thoughts are powerful like eagles
Some thoughts are beautiful like humming birds
And some thoughts are..............are like vultures.
            *silence

I look at myself dancing
to the song Truth Faith.
It says," I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty..."


I can feel it!

Why do I wake up feeling this way every morning?
My tears have dried up.
I am tired of this...so tired
that now...my soul needs a surgery.
I want to escape but I am caught up really bad.
Now...what to do?

They call me useless
But...I know my worth.
Their voices have put blisters on me
Their voices have burned me


But...I am a Phoenix!
And I will rise from my own ashes.

My mother is the aid to all my aches
I can feel her warm hand on my head
when I sleep with a cold heart.
Even though she strokes my head for minutes
It keeps me warm for days.
I am sorry Mama! I know you deserve
a daughter much better.
Not someone like me...a girl fighting with her
own mind day and night.
I am sorry Mama! I am sorry...
All I can promise is to make you proud one day.
