She

She wants to escape into the empty space,
Far away from the madding crowd.
Someone tells her, "you will get better, its just a phase",
Yeah right, what do they know, of those tortorous days
When she cries to herself, there is no shoulder to lean on,
Someone comforts her, before the warmth sinks in, he is gone.

She performs her tasks, "thats why you were born", says her friend,
Is that how its supposed to be? All you do is to lend
yourself to others in need, your love you give, and in the end;
she cant go on, she is tired and weary, her heart forlorn.

She wants to escape into the empty space
Far away from the madding crowd,
Someone tells her," its your life, you make the choices,
Be happy,dont fret, dont listen around to the voices"

Now she is happy, smiling and content,
"Whats the secret"? asks someone,
She smiles ,and says, "I dont give as much, I am having fun,
I have learnt to be clever and selfish , my life has just begun.



Ok i wrote this one when i was in a particularly depressed and not so great mood!!...I dont even know what i really wanted to say...neways...

@jack - merci:)....yes siree..sometimes its an enervating feeling to think about yourself and do stuff that makes u feel good...obv u dont need to harm neone for tht and an occasional "self indulgence" spree is not gonna kill neone:P

wow. you have half your problems solved there.
usually we land up in a mess when we make a half hearted effort to be selfless , understanding, giving and other advertising terminology to assuage our guilt...

be selfish. you will be bappy.
be selfish. till the day you find someone worth being selfless for, be selfish.

cheers

ps- nice post :-)

Hey...even if you have written that in depression it is very good....I have heard thi smany times- First make yourself happy before you make another happy as inthe end of the day that is what matters...But always there is the contradiction which follows saying that giving is more important and satisfying....give even if you dont receive but I would not make th tmy life principle...I would want someone who appreciates wht I give and gives me something too! oppps...I did it again...Wrote something tht is way too out of my head itself! :) Cheer Up lady..

@reflextion - well not all jackasses do....and those who know when theyre wrong and continue to be wrong are worse...btw there is no jackass in the poem...its just her and her mindset and how she undergoes a transformation so to speak:)

dont write poems when you are depressed... the best cure for depression is "daaaaaaaaaaru" if you have or else try "chocolate" (not the movie... you will be even more depressed) in case you are a teetotaller... and dont write poems when you have had daru or chocolate... it tends to get a lot messy and gooey...

but after the initial pakaoogiri, i'd say its a good poem and not a baaaddd one ;)

I like it! It describes a metamorphosis...being human is cyclical, the lower the valleys, the higher the peaks.

Thanks for the visit by the way.

"I have learnt to be clever and selfish , my life has just begun."

It is quite bad that this is a solution for happiness., but today looks like this is the best thing to do to keep yourself safe and smiling.
