What The Shadow Self Wants

I want your love

Tell me you love my ideas

Tell me I did my best

Tell me that nobody else matters to you but me

Tell me you'll help clear out my fears

Give me your hand to hold on to

Give me your shoulder to cry

Give me a warm, affectionate gaze

Give me the belief that I'm the best

I know there are better people out there

With more drive, passion and love

I just want to know that I am

One person who makes your world explode with joy

Show me your acceptance of my nature

All the good, the bad and the in between

I have been taught to judge and hate my imperfection
I need your compassion for my peace

Take me to a place far away

Where the stars meet the sea

Hold my face in your gaze

As though within me, you see beauty

I don't need you to put me on a pedestal

I don't need you to put me down

I only want your acceptance, understanding and love
That tells me, no matter what, I'll be safe and sound.

Give me some sunshine

Give me some rain

Give me another chance

I wanna grow up once again...!

Thank you Tears & Triggers

Triggers were something I used to actively avoid. Because of the way they made me feel: restless, frustrated, angry, disappointed and a wide spectrum of uncomfortable feelings. For the uninitiated, Psychology Today Triggers are are similar to that burnt or itchy feeling we get around any bleeding scratches, stinging bites or broken bones. The pain is there for a reason, to inform us that something is out of balance. Most of the time, we don't need to do anything except wash the wound and rest in one place, allowing our body to give primary care to heal the wound and ensuring our energy is concentrated mostly in healing. The irony is, we have been taught to take rest when we have physical wounds; but not for emotional wounds, especially when it too needs similar care. "Toughen up", "Man up", "Suffer Silently", "No pity parties", "Don't cry for this and all", "Stop being a baby" are some common generalizations thro...

This Too Shall Pass

When you've done your best and stood your ground and nobody supportive seems to be around don't you dare give up on your stance repeat to yourself "this too shall pass" When you've cried yourself hoarse about your true feelings To a friend or partner, with whom closure you are seeking Even though it seems they don't validate your cry Don't you run behind them asking "Why?" When you've given all you've got to your dream and all you seem to get are struggles that make you want to scream Recall that roadblocks are blessings in disguise Some come to redirect you, some to make you wise When the storms in your life never seem to stop Leaving you with no time to clean up or mop Know that the storm itself is doing the clearing Of all the negativity from your garden of life When you've quit your toxic traits and started being your true self Don't be afraid of comments, critics, labels or shelves Those who matter to you, won't mind the ...

Shri Andal and Mirabhai - Two Trusting Saints with Unique Paths

(I have added additional information which reached me courtesy the readers of this post when it was first published, for which I am deeply grateful as these inputs have expanded the scope of this post) For the uninitiated, Mirabhai and Andal, though having manifested during different time periods in the same land of India, stand tall as one of the few women saints who had completely surrendered their lives to the Supreme God. Mirabhai stands as one of the greatest saints and songwriters of Rajasthan. Although there is a myriad of controversial debates questioning her factual existence and actual poems written, one cannot deny the brilliance in her simple poetical verses and songs describing her yearnings to unite with her Lord and adoration of the 'leelas' or divine dramas played by her bosom Lord Krishna (these are used to verbally garland the Divine Lord Shri Krishna in most parts of northern India to this day) Shri Andal incarnated a few centuries before the advent of Mira...
