That Special Someone

Someone who respects you,

treats you right,

unconditionally loves you,

who sees the beauty in your cracks,

heals you, nurtures you,

bears with your mistakes,

forgives you,

takes time-outs when the stress is too much

but doesn't break the bond,

who encourages you to be your best self,

is your biggest motivator & cheerleader,

celebrates your baby steps,

has your back when you stumble and fall,

never uses your insecurities against you,

never puts you down or beats you up

never shames you for being yourself

who never forces you to do anything

who respects your privacy

gives you the time and space you need,

expects nothing but to see you thrive

in doing what you love,

is always there to give you love and understanding

no matter how your day went or how your life is,

who has boundaries which you respect,

stops you before you burn yourself out,

acts like a sounding board for your ideas,

gives you constructive feedback on your work,

motivates you to be the healthiest

and most authentic version of yourself,

Who watches out for you,

Who your close circles love & respect

Who is your:

3 am friend,

6 am good morning text,

1 pm did you eat? ,

5 pm come home safe,

8 pm I made a special dinner,

10 pm good night,

all time 'I love you for who you are' person,

who makes you feel comfortable to be yourself,

laughs at all your jokes,

knows all your sob stories,

understands your triggers, anxieties and pet peeves,

doesn't hold your past against you,

pushes you to be better

while giving you the belief that you are good enough.

Who is fiercely loyal and protective of you.

Who stands up for you no matter what.

Someone who is a safe home.

Someone you love spending time with

Someone who helps you feel happy and safe

And that someone who you totally deserve

Is Y O U

Now read it again

Being your own special someone

doesn't mean you are self centered,

egoistic or shallow.

It rather means

you don't need someone to be your hero.

You can be there for others and for yourself too

It means you can survive and thrive

by being your own Knight in Shining Armour...

and when the Universe decides to send someone special

on your path, you will know your worth

and how you deserve to be treated.

You will know how to be

a genuinely loving and supporting partner

and will not settle for anything or anyone less

You can be an amazing person to someone else
only when you are an amazing person to yourself
To be relevant to someone else
you need to feel relevant to yourself

Karmic Forces (1) - Conversations

This is the first part in a 6 part fictional story series. Everything in this story is purely imaginary with inspirations from real life. Any resemblances to any person or occasion in real life is completely coincidental. 1. Conversations Tired out by the activities of the day, Miraa changed into her loose yellow t shirt and black pants, turned on the AC, curled up in her bed, comforter carelessly strewn over her feet, nose hooked inside a book, eyes and mind engrossed in its contents. She was a 20 year old college goer, with small, brown eyes, a rather flat nose, a set of imperfect, yellowish, crooked teeth and with wavy, shoulder-length, black hair now tied in a characteristic bun, with a milky complexion. As she continued reading, a chill went down her spine. The chill had nothing to do with the atmosphere provided by the air conditioner nor with the gripping story of the book. A feeling of being watched, almost that of being quietly examined, suddenly made her feel vulne...

Inside the Mind of a Missionary Worker

I wrote this poem in an attempt to dive inside the mind of missionary workers and healthcare warriors, who are the need of our pandemic struck world. I was curious to explore how they could genuinely and unconditionally give sisterly and brotherly love to victimized people, who often shame themselves - as in, they hate their own existence and don't love themselves. It's easy to love people who love themselves or at least have learnt to deal with their insecurities and have stopped projecting their fears and complexes onto other people. But how does one love someone who hates themselves? Let's see. I want to love you no matter what you do whether you hit, beat or curse I want to love you no matter who you are genuine or a toxic farce I want to love you no matter what you throw defenses, screams and abuses galore I want to love you You know why? It's the only thing that's gonna set me free and help me fly So how do I love you when you are this mess of s...

Karmic Forces (3) - Flashbacks

This is the third part in a 6 part fictional story series. Everything in this story is purely imaginary with inspirations from real life. Any resemblance to any person or occasion in real life is completely coincidental. 3. Flashbacks Miraa pondered if she ever could give up on her anger on Vasuki and what he had done. Letting go of anger, to her, seemed to be like taking off the label of the bad guy from him. Which she couldn't. She felt she had to hold on to her anger, it was the only thing that seemed to validate her feeling of angst, shame and disgust at what had happened to her. It was the only thing that allowed her to think of him as the bad guy. Vasuki had been such a charmer and one part of Miraa's heart still yearned to listen to his charming words that melted her. Her anger, it seemed, was the one way in which she could safeguard herself from his charm. She was still scared she would fall for him if she ever let go of what had happened and then happened to meet h...
