Stay Spirited
Stay Spirited by investing in others
Expend part of you on them, clear smother
Love, honesty and smiles will help you stem
It can be compassion, or adorance for them
Make people around a part of you
Happiness will be enriched, and sorrows few
Fake attitudes and bigotry won't buy much
Altruism lasts long, has a strong touch
Like a new day gives us another chance
Giving it to others also, is way to advance
Finding faults in others won't be best endeavor
Leave behind bad, as Goodness lasts forever.

Depression
Everyone has this secret confession
At times, suffers inadequency and Depression
Feeling of lowliness and having not enough
Sometimes your ask is ‘material possessions'
At sea most of time, floating in critism
Touching the lows of blue and dejection
Things go bad n loose track
Its Life, has Downturns and Recessions
Stop feelling wretched and hapless
Life's beautiful, your cursing is transgression
"Adopt the pace of nature, its patience"
Times always in flux, So, misery stays? Out of Question.

Inside us! !
Inside us we carry that parallel self
A burial vault without any delf
A little prick wakes up that oppressive pain
Buried deep in past with lots of strain
Ugly regrets which weren't ones fault
Nothingness exaggerated, life craving a halt
The feeling of lone & lost thing
One trusted most, damage the life string
Taking relations sensitivity, always forgranted
Something and some words, just couldn't be supplanted

Resilience in Roots! !
The promising gospel of human resiliency
Survived plagues extended in decades,
Overcame the droughts of year's continual.
Mankind has ricochet devils of its time
But for idiocy, I find reluctance eternal,
Its immensity vast & vastness perpetual.
Withdraw to bedrock, recede to roots
Only means to salvation from ruins n dooms,
Have read in histories, is the observation of times.
Future is always a continuation of present,
With past intact for lessons; inherited in dimes
Tower must be build but foundation s Prime.

Bragging Modesty
Why boast modesty? Wasn't handpicked
Bragging seems silly, when was obligation strict.
Posing wise on patterns borrowed by others
Followed a code & custom, or advise by mothers.
Justifying tartness, when Grapes felt sour
Choice will be different, when given some power.
Sour now bad and 'the grapes weren't mine'
Go with flock, is their new punch line.
Decency is out; it's Vanity that's in
Advance WE are, hold up the chin.
(Dear) Modesty is a virtue but its flaunting isn't smart
Simple or Not, be honest with all heart.

Time Turns! !
Time has a habit of turning tables;
When good days come, bad seems fable.
But things never stayed temperate in course,
Man must learn ways to ride its wild horse.
Ones on high perch must keep in mind;
Phase not lasting, only an ephemeral passing.
If today you flaunt position or glittery crown,
Tomorrow thrones a circus in the hands of a clown.
Lore is whispering; show clemency at all times
But drift responds; flash in good and drag in grimes.
The prudent stays calm in realities of life,
Enlightened in dark, foresee opportunities & thrive.

Lemons & Life! !
Crossed and hurt, never had enough
While others rewarded in galore.
Don't feel bad when served lemons
Squeeze them well, and ask for more.
It happens to us all
So continue whatever is yours
No stopping for others conjecture
Can't gauge your worth, better Ignore.
Can shine, don't need sparkles
Accent mounts others dare explore
Be the window with a unique view
A bold key to open feared doors.
You will course through stormy seas
Swim very hard to reach clear shore
Road can be long & course very crooked
But struggle never futile or useless anymore.

Thinking forbade!
A plain matter or uphill concern
When are preached or played
Given knowledge holds no aid
Thinking for some is just forbade
Being casual deliberately or unintentional
Fail to perceive humility masquerades
Are singing same old serenade,
Thinking for some is just forbade
Some impulsive n unpredictable
Hasty and emotional, crowing are unafraid
Commonsense lost n mislaid
Thinking for some is just forbade
Try to be reflective, act more pensive
Stop believing every bray displayed
Better to rethink, let 'Self' upgrade
But! Thinking for some is just forbade

Self Reliance
A naïve little girl
Always shy and scared
Hard knocks of life tamed her well
Self-reliant now and fully prepared.
Long journey of fear and timidity
Fallen many times, apprehension was paired
Exaggerated modesty was actually cowardice
Boldness and assertion, never dared
Life and Time are two great teachers
Many lessons learned and wisdom shared
happy now, grown out from past
Things are better and much repaired.
Self reliance her Gold, freedom her riches
To people has accounts undeclared
Assertiveness and confidence now her jewels
People and life, all pretty squared.

Success Takes Time
A custom 'In' with Youth of today
Don't want struggle, yet dreams to Shine
Dears! Hard work and Effort is crucial
Your success will take some time
Mastering tasks demands toils and pains
Experience is High Mountain to climb
'Diligence is the mother of good fortune'
Wiser gets the idea, losers always whine
Doing things in steps and bits
Like A stitch in time saves nine
Or falling 9 times and getting up 10
Even diamonds need much friction and grind
Little achievements, setbacks, some errors
Suffering builds endurance, that's prime
A plan and goal setting is important
Result is success and happiness divine.
