What The Shadow Self Wants

Hug Drawing at GetDrawings | Free download
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...!

Indian Premier League - Past & Present

Hello dear readers of Parinaama!!!  Your editor here!  Glad to meet y'all in another post (after quite some time I must say), that too in this special one. Why do I call it special? – because it indeed is - to me, to the blog, and by the end of this article, to you as well. A quick glance into my profile on our home page will tell you that I’m an avid sports fan, with specialization in cricket. It was a long time thought of mine that I should express my sports enthusiasm in a form of art that I’m fond of – writing. After lots of thinking, hesitation, and taking inputs from our very own Author, I decided that the splendid combination of my 2 amazing hobbies shall take place in none other than the ever-safe space of Parinaama. * manifesting a job like this * So, readers, it is with great happiness and joy that we, at Parinaama, present to you the very first article of our Sports Blog. Let me give you a little background t o present an insight into how the Sports Blog shall proce...

A story about Failure

Two poor friends, Sam and Sid were walking down the street when they noticed a poster announcing : "Open Talent Hunt - Showcase your Uniqueness, Get Rich!" Sam felt pumped and immediately wanted to sign up for it.  He asked Sid " C'mon man! Lets go for it!"  Sid asked "What if we don't win?"   Sam replied sarcastically "Urm... we lose? Aw man so what if we lose, we get to have fun!" Sid said "Hey we don't know who the judges are or what sort of talent they expect; and besides the competition is this weekend! We won't even be prepared well! I don't even think I have any talent" Sam said " Fine, do as you please, I'm gonna sign up! " Sam decided to sing his favorite song "Stitches" and Sid helped him prepare. "Stitches" was a special song for Sam, because it was the one lasting memory he had of his mother, apart from her guitar, which she had given to him in her last days. Sam had bee...

I made it to the beginning

Lying for months inside fear and self doubt, crippled, Hoping for a saviour strong Praying for deliverance every second Not daring to make a move, in case it went wrong Day after day, as I lay low Watching my fears grow The thought of giving up inviting for me, who was tired and exhausted of fighting Why are there no answers to my cries of agony? If there is a God, where is He? If there is a universe, what is it doing? Am I delusional to pray so? thus escalated my brooding. At times, there came flickers of light Too small to enlighten but present Ecstatic I become on seeing such a sight And strength in my faith, escalating Suddenly, the surroundings all dark I feel pulled from all directions, tortured Layers of my being were being torn Though afraid, to the memories of that light I latched on A test to my faith, it seemed so As unimaginable pain and discomfort Taunted my mind, which thought It impossible to get respite from this incessant storm Suddenly...
