Is it insanity
Am I loosing my mind
or is it alright
to not be okay every time
at times empowerment reigns inside
feel king at heart inside
I shout with all my might
I will be the ruler of my destiny
and let no one choose for my life
Then feeling of overwhelmed shadows
a plethora of emotions play
suddenly I feel manipulated all the way
they chose the colours
they chose the canvas
they chose the scenery
and the brush
while I was told to paint all that
it wasn’t my choice
I wanted to make heaven and earth meet
they told me to paint a horse instead
they said it never meets at horizon
what if I wanted to let it meet
is it okay to not be okay
they call the emotions worthless
they say it’s weak to be ruled by emotions
to them mental well being is scam
why they never chose peace
is war desirable
why should we fight
Peace don’t calls for fight
why in garb of peace they chose to fight
let mankind hurt humanity inside
is it okay to think like that
they question my curiosity
they question my choice
my friendship with nature
they call it insanity
I chose to speak
they call me stupid
is it okay to not be okay
I may be ruled
or ruined by my emotions
but I won’t deny my emotions
that makes me special
that makes you special
and yes
it’s okay to be not okay
we can’t decide the situations
but we can decide our actions
we can’t change the storms
but we surely can sail across
let the waves come
we shall surf upon

Amazing writing 🙂 such strength in your words … I like the read , 🙂
Thank you so much rose
The emotions flared up
And I realised I am so sensitive to the emotions beside
Good positive words spilleronsheet, a person after my own heart, positiveness is so good but so misunderstood by so many.
Andy
So true dear Andy
Thanks for your kind read and your comments
Very inspiring and motivating. Liked the last paragraph of your a lot !!!
Thank you dear Vamsi
This piece reminds me that to love is an act of war. A noble one. Very real. Very projective. Thank you.
Thank you dear reader
I have no words…I really have so much to learn from you…
It would my pleasure then
Trust the process, some time will teach, then this life will teach and at times others even in form of strangers will teach you
Stay optimistic and let go what hurts you
I know it’s easier said then be done
But I am sure when you start walking that way..,one day you shall reach your desired goals
Thanks a lot…
More and more people really need to cry out, I'm not okay, before they find the note explaining it.
I hope Paul
I just want myself and others too, to admit to their feelings..,don’t deny any emotions and not feel ashamed of it
Not all days may be sunny, some may be cold and dry too
But that’s phase of life
Definitely, no day is ever the same.
It's always OK to be not OK so long as we aren't hurting anyone. You cover so much in this piece. If only we could count on our fellow humans to be so insightful.
So much hate crime around, they say comes from ignorance. Lack of empathy, or maybe folks just 'not being OK' for a while.
Deep subject, no easy resolutions other than be true to yourself.
You got me reader
I agree it’s not easy
But it’s never too late to start
I had this poetry for long but wasn’t sure if I should share around
A lot of prejudices hold around the mental well being
Everyone talks about physical diseases but society shuns about mental health
Nobody teaches us to shout
Everyone teaches us to be polite and to sit quiet
Maybe it's cruel of the world to give us inspiration when we hurt. Stunning work, my friend.
I agree more and more to you
Why shall heart sing only when it’s heartbroken?
I guess the sound doesnt reach us when its trapped in a whole heart. We must break it to realise what it harbours.
