POETRY-1
BE A MAN!
There is something I want people to ask themselves,
The answer to which cannot be found even if we delve.
Fed up with the instructions being given,
And the comparisons to which I am being driven.
You cannot be lean as you gotta be strong!
No one’s gonna accept you unless you are “King Kong”.
The muscular body will make people stare,
If you don’t have it, none would even care.
Stop crying and “BE A MAN!”
Control your emotions as much as you can.
The colours you choose ought to be bold,
You can never opt pink is what I’ve been told.
I just want to shout out to people who rumble,
We are humans and it’s okay to fumble.
The gender barriers were created by you,
I hope it will come to an end eventually in years one or two!
POETRY -2
How dark can it get?
How dark can it get?
Lone being the darkest and the shades fade with every person we met
Calm nights feel the coldest that gets warmer by the busy day
“I’m all ears” is something we wish one would ever say
Get it clear, that only the cheerful times are focused
Whereas the sad ones are not even openly discussed
Also, happiness is always celebrated by many
But the contrary will never be shared by any
In my honest opinion, let me get this straight
Only the good times are captured, be it in landscape or portrait
