CLEMENCE

Is it difficult and sometimes impossible to accept and acknowledge our feelings and emotions? Perhaps we want to run away from them. But, when we throw a bouncing ball with a great speed it comes back to us with that similar speed. So it works the same with our feelings as well. The more we try to run away from them or deny them; it will affect us more severely. Neglecting our feelings cannot be tackled easily but, will make it even more complicated and strange to comprehend. There are times when circumstances do not favor us and we cannot act as normal as we are; and all we think is what society will think and say. It’s totally okay not to feel okay. It’s not always necessary to act according to the impulses of our environment. The inclinations which we experience within us, belongs to us. Not only materials but, we should even own our sentiments. It is quite ironic as we are taught about the conflicts of one country with the other but not how to manage the conflict which is constant...

Another went by; With elations and miseries within Anonymity turned into proximity. Entanglement of relationships Many lost them while releasing. The nostalgic moments Carved in the hearts forever. While the bitter ones; Bring in nothing more but only shreds us apart. The lack of self-confidence Bears the thought of giving up. Every night has its dawn; Triggers in our minds that- Everything will be fine. Realizations instead of resolutions. Loving ourselves a little more, While spreading love around.

‘So-called lovers’ counterfeit it; But very few can keep it alive in the core. Perplexity between love and infatuation, Is the indecisive mystify till now! Genuine partners deem it as a pure emotion; Simple but compound too! “If acceptance is the anatomy of a relation, Then, freedom is the soul”. Ego; just a three letter word, but Prolonged persistence can win against this pleasing aura. Trust is the radical of this tenderness – And, if trust is evaporated, then is there any point of loving? They say ---“It is arduous to love someone, no one appreciates them...” Can we not substitute our sentiments, instead? Love is the sole binding the sphere; Shrug off the self-conceit attitude, and Welcome the reception and liberty in your correlation!

Stamped in the heart, is anguish And the unuttered words,  When our loved ones Bid us adieu unspoken. The unprecedented calamity  With its nature of destructiveness, Gripped our hearts, Never to release. For the lamented souls Are the happiest; Now liberated from misery, Yet, the scars of agony left in the bosoms Of their cherished Now forever sore.                               

They say Childhood is the best, Where one enjoys, cracks Jokes and takes rest. Worries, anxieties, fear has no – Place in the youth’s core. One pleading for toys and games  More and more. Rising up late in the morning And, playing around the whole evening; None to scold much, only Parents’ orders for studies were such. When stepping school for the first time; Tears fell down at the thought Of parting away from family. But who knew these tears would change into joy of laughers? The punishments at those naughty acts Not knowing what were the defects.  Eagerly participating; In the school activities, Not giving up at the difficulties. The exams were the unwelcomed names, That made all the pupils lame. Sundays were enthusiastic And, Monday blues the great boredom. Unfortunately, time never ceases. The sorrow of the lost childhood increases. The transition from childhood to adulthood Is a great progress. The future beckoning is a mess. This cannot be brought back replacing any...

Chaos everywhere With palpitating hearts; Of what awaits next- The acrobats’ bold stunt, The musicians’ unpredictable plays.  The unforeseen future With its blurriness in its fold. None possess the power   Of forecasting what is ahead of us, Better shrug off all the worries Embracing it whole heartedly is the only key. The performances are all orderly; And it has to be: The lives of the performers are at stake. All the things are aligned before us, Everything under the hands of the destiny. Patience; for the world has better chances for us All right things will line up at the right time. The world is a circus; With bittersweet events, The future is unaffected  By our worries, overestimation;  Anticipating for the best   Is what we expect after a circus!
