Pondering…

Should we just complain or take a step towards a better future?
The choice lies in our hands, but latter has the possibility of culminating into something fruitful.

Because I couldn’t have been any other

Because I couldn’t have been any other
given the soil I was in,
the sun light that I received,
the minerals that I got ,
oh and the pests ,
and the genes in the seed.

How could I’ve been anything else?
I am what I could’ve been.

The sounds that I heard,
the alphabets that I learnt,
the words they formed,
the visuals that I saw,
the smells that I smelt,
the things that I touched,
and the meanings they were given.

Everything occuring around me
only the way it could’ve been.

Thus, I developed,
absorbing everything bit by bit
without any discrimination,
imbibing what was taught
from those who already were
something, as they were,
as they could’ve been.

Alas, I was formed
the way I am now, as I could’ve been.

The new things that I learn
and old things that I forgo
will build the course of my life,
and decide what I become
out of what I am now,
from whatever I already am.

The search of who I am

I visited myself from various directions,
watched closely all the parts and sections,
but to my utter dismay, I still say,
I am in the astounding search of who I am! 

Some say you are carrying baggage of your sins.
Others talk of soul mates, negative chaos and twins.
But I wonder if these exist in reality.
I yearn to have a clue of who I am. 

Idealists suggest some sort of corrections.
I tried them with dissections and a few resections.
But have yet not achieved any good results.
Can someone truly tell who I am? 

I finally resorted to the laborious act of meditation.
I am sure it’s some great mystic’s creation.
“Be positive and put your energies to it
if longing to unveil Who I am.” 

But let me be honest: everything goes vain
if I am not ready to accept and acknowledge the pain.
The truth will be made known when I surrender;
only a blessing can divulge who I am! 

So let me remember one Lord with love and admiration
setting aside all fears and expectations.
Then the unconditional love will flow through,
dissolving my boundaries and revealing who I am!

A Thought…

Dark chapters of the life hone you as a better, matured person. Don’t be afraid to embrace them.

The Panorama

There’s a subtle difference between reality and fantasy. The challenge is to comprehend reality while residing in fantasy.
