Bar Magnet

sahildhobalepoetry

sometimes i think

i am a magnet.
yes, you heard it right.
i attract people 
into my life,
and repel some. 
sometimes i get attracted
to some people 
and rejected by others.
but in the choice of 
magnets,
i will choose to be
a bar magnet.
my life is straight
like a bar magnet.
i have my 
goals, vision
and direction 
decided. 
but somehow
i get lost 
in the forces 
of attraction 
and rejection.
acceptance and 
denial.
 
i would say one 
side of the magnet
is me,
and the other one 
is god.
sometimes
i want a person so hard
in my life,
but god repels the person
and throws her out 
of my way.
sometimes i want 
my job so hard,
but god closes that door.
 
sometimes i don't 
love myself,
but god attracts me 
towards myself.
 
this is liberating 
as well as 
exhausting. 
i know god does things
for my own benefit
but somehow i can't 
find a clue as to why
certain things 
happen
and why others 
don't.
but it's okay,
as long as i am 
a magnet
i don't think
i need to find answers.
as long as god is 
with me
i am sure 
i don't have to question 
things.
as long as i am with
myself,
i am sure i can remain
a bar magnet,
happily.
