This is my world


 
This is my world, I don’t have any idea if I was born like others or not,
But I’m sure enough that I’ve grown up nameless, unknown, unmapped and,
This is my world, I’m unclassified in the least, but scars of tears are all my identity.

This is my world where it rains and I get wet alone,
In my world, a day has twenty-four hours for others but not for me,
This is my world where I smile when my stomach is digesting.

In my world, I get clothes after my size mates have bought new outfit,
Where my mouth gets a bit of moisture when rich people didn’t care about leftovers,
In my world sunrise finds me with open hands, and my death when I close them.

My Sorrow is when sunset leaves my hands empty, my world becomes darker,
My hope fades away, my heart ceases pumping and start wondering, my mind begins to judge and ask
me: where is your faith now? You used to tell me that you’re pity material, then tell me now who pays you any attention!

You often comfort me that beggars can’t be choosers, you get what you get and you don’t get upset,
Then tell me now what you did you? Who cares that you are going to die in hunger?
The only answer I can come up with is “this is my world”!

This is my world where I have grown up being sent to share lunch with my closest neighbors,
At the first time my world seemed to be brightened somehow thinking that, this would be
The best cheerful moment not knowing that it’s time to be asked why I kept coming for lunch.

Why do I keep wearing one pink top, why don’t I go to school by bus?
 Of course, I had no answers, but forcing food into my mouth in tears.
This is my world where I can’t count the past nights but I can count the mornings I have.

 The world where everyone calls me names, I don’t want to call my kid,
 The names which I hate the most, the names which kill my cells and breaks my heart into pieces,
Yeah, I admit that I’m a beggar and I have nowhere else to escape this because: ‘THIS IS MY WORLD’.

NEVER LOSE HOPE (A POEM)

NEVER LOSE HOPE Oh hope, how I wish you were so simple! How everyone craves you at your best! How optimistic are the minds that are on your riddle! Summing up life without you, futile is the rest. With you either a child or an adult survives, Shattered are the hearts that yearns you, Happy are the folks that possess you, Regardless of the background, with you, happiness evolves. Peeping in the morning dawn, any eye apprehends, Flying are birds chirping and murmuring in the air, Wind is clattering and hissing through trees, what a fresh-air! Gazing the elegancy of creation, by then I know hope transcends. Sitting down enjoying the beauty of the sky, The sun gleaming, people glad with their heads held high, Working hard is possible, we waved off being mope, Life keeps sparkling, because we still have got hope. Through life's unfairness, disappointments may rise, Through people's imperfections, deceit may prise, Hope is the la...

Inspire me more part 1 : Learn from your mistakes

Inspire me more part 1: learning from your mistakes. Mistake. Etymologically mis for bad and take,M-I-S-T-A-K-E? A sounding word of nine letters,how can committing an unintentional error make you feel less of yourself? Mistake? One of the things you won't live to regret. Mistake, a word? Come on there has got to be something more! It affects much, oneself and livelihood. Just as Albert Einstein once said "anyone who hasn't committed any mistake has never tried something new" almost every successful experiment, I repeat almost, was preceded by couples of mistakes, but how many see them as trials even when events are afterwards successful? When Thomas Edison was inventing a light bulb,he tried about 999 times before he tried again to a 1000 time and it was successful, got it? 999 mistakes which he later called attempts, and yes they are and one more good turn made them attempts not mistakes! got it now? almost if not all of us have at least  made mistakes, but ho...
