Be Like The River

 A Flowing River Creates A New Path

Gentle yet stubborn

You should be on your own.

Like the flowing river creates a new path,

Carve your niche after doing your math.

Not happy, not sad,

Moving, focused, and a little mad.

Like the flowing river creates a new path,

Listen to your inner God, the great telepath.

Struggles are but a test of time,

Never hesitate to  prioritize the goal prime.

Like the flowing river creates a new path,

Pick up your sword and unleash your wrath.

Smiling Through Pain

 Time to Move On

Silence is more peaceful than words,

Arguments and fights with swords,

Waiting for approval to waste eons—Yet time does not pause, only drifts on.

Wake up! It is time to move on.

Stuck in a loop,

With no companion or group,

Racing hearts and pulsating minds,

The time the teacher is never so kind.

Paste a Smile and forget the pain.

Walk along, and the going gets plain.

Struggles and hardships are add-ons.

Perk up! It is time to move on.

Came up with this after my feed was inundated with reels of the lonely penguin. People are suddenly obsessed with the reel. Do you relate to the poem? If you are demotivated I hope you feel seen, heard and understood. Not by another person or group, but by yourself. If you like my poetry, follow me on Instagram. Send a request to madhavi_gak

Poetry Reading to Escape Reality

 Reading is a joy,

That leaves a peasant after taste.

Something like a dessert,

After a content meal that is laced,

With love and secret ingredients that linger.

Like a friend you never had,

Whenever you feel like a nomad.

Melting the bitterness inside,

Spreading the warmth outside.

You are lost in an imaginary world,

Escaping the reality and its depressing hold.

Author Madhavi
