Again, you showed me the way And ensured I kept my insecurities at bay I was feeling dull My pain, did you **** I was feeling anxious You helped me fight my demons I was feeling stressed My mind, you calmed All in all, I was down And you turned my bane into a boon!
Again, you showed me the way In fact, YOU were THE WAY The path to happiness And inner peace Yes, you may be an author But for me, a motivator You may be a poet But for me, you represent faith You may be a translator But for me, a teacher You may be an academic But you provide the kick Which I so desperately need To do many a deed And finally, you may be an activist But for me, my inner beast Ensuring I do my best Come what may Thus, you again showed me the way!!
Poem on how thinking about Dr. Meena Kandasamy (eminent novelist, poet, translator of the "Thirukkural", academic and anti-caste activist) helped me overcome my anxieties and insecurities on a tough day of work yesterday.
