We all have tendency to get accustomed to
things happening around very easily. Routine, job, moods, environment and what
not. Somehow we are able to cope with oddities of everyday life and get on. So
many people come and go in our life, each one adding a layer of different
color and size. There are few who become much closer as compared to others. They
succeed in breaching the walls of the fortress of strong personality we project to the outside world. With them we are nothing but ourselves, vulnerable but happy. We share our world with them and somewhere deep down unknowingly
expect that we are an important part of their world too. But, the curious thing is
despite all this friendliness and comfort
we never
actually get accustomed to being less important to those people than they are
to us.

Hysteria was clogging up my
mind
curious thing, I wasn't supposed
to be feeling like this
still, strands of my hair
were flying
like stale threads of a
ripped jeans
I tried and remain calm,
wasn't easy
by all means..
stinging with my own agony
I gave a second thought
to
what she just said,
sighed
I closed
my ablated eyes , although
she did what she thought
was right
but, why I'm not feeling
alright ?
I waited for long
hoped she'll ping me
back
say something and I'll
respond
that never happened and
le
problème, at last I said
life's a
never ending parade
of same
notions
I gotta buck up
and shed
such emotions
no one's
obliged to give me
exact
replica of what I want
people are just amis amants
Now I remember what Lupe Fiasco sings
Alright,
already, the show goes on
All night
'til the morning, we dream so long
Anybody
ever wonder when they would see the sun go
Just
remember when you come up, the show goes on
Beautiful reminder ... loved it !!!
ReplyDeletei could relate it well! i hope everyone go through this mindset.
ReplyDeletebeautiful painting. touching
It's a story of everyone !
ReplyDeleteBeautifully depicted :)
I could most definitely relate to this my friend - on every level. I think I will share this with some friends of mine too :)
ReplyDeleteYep all have sure been there, even at my lair.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
ReplyDeletei have to shed some emotions no one is obligated to give me...i feel that...and the waiting on those relationships as well and how messy they can be....love the painting you chose as well...
ReplyDeletei hear you...it's not easy and esp. when we really opened the doors of our heart wide for the other person, makes us very vulnerable.. i don't trust people easily but it robs me off the joy of deep relationships as well..so i think we need a certain willingness and bravery to open our hearts again and again despite of the risk
ReplyDeleteBeautifully Worded.....
ReplyDeleteMost of us can relate to your thoughts.When we have affection and care for some specific people we expects the same from their end too... That's not necessary! at least according to them but from our side our expectations. and suppositions leads to agony...
ReplyDeleteI know the whole process but still that happens to me again and again, I console myself! :)
Beautiful poetry and the image you've used here is so logical according to your theme :)
Best wishes
Well thought out words,
ReplyDeleteI could relate in many area
Keep up the good work
Keep inform
Best regards
I am joining in

Expectations lead to unhappy endings,agony and pain. That is the reason why our scriptures advocate the path of complete detachment which is of course very difficult but could be attained with practice.
ReplyDeleteBut yes you have put the subtle feelings in very touchy way!
beautifully written...
ReplyDeletethanks
..strands of my hair were flying..like stale threads of my ripped jeans..
ReplyDelete..wow!!!...if you keep on writing like this..am sure you will breach the walls of the fortress that the readers have build around them..and hold their hearts captive...
..i loved the introduction part..you are very true..some ppl come into our lives..and they become a part of our flesh...
..keep on pouring on our feelings..keep the flame of writing burning.. :) ;)
..keep on pouring ur feelings.. *
ReplyDeletei guess a lot depends on who they are to us and vice versa...
ReplyDeleteniways, this is nicely put down...
we are the center of the universe....
ReplyDeleteThis came very timely. I was once again struggling with the feelings of being less important to people compared to how important they were to me.
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find a balance here and you have described the feeling aptly. How do you strike a balance between giving and expectations?
"no one's obliged to give me
ReplyDeleteexact replica of what I want"
Bitter reality of life!!
I guess everybody felt this way at least once in their life time!
A fine reflection on the vulnerabilities of this thing we call friendship - and you are right - we do think our stories are more important...
ReplyDeleteAnna :o]
You said it.What we give may not be reciprocated.But sometimes more also.Interestingly penned.
ReplyDeleteYes .. it always happen in life ...
ReplyDeletebeautiful written , wonderful
ReplyDeleteAnybody ever wonder when they would see the sun go
ReplyDeleteJust remember when you come up, the show goes on
Truly said Jyoti! Whenever others try to stifle progress there are elements that react positively! Nicely!

You set the bar so high that every time I read your work, I feel less talented.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and touching. I love how it can be interpreted in more than one way :)
ReplyDeleteThe show goes on indeed, Jyoti!!
ReplyDeletehappy friday to you...smiles.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a raw depiction of a turmoil which every human being must have gone through some time or the other. Beautiful words Jyoti!
