WHAT IF, RIGHT NOW...?

By SANIA

 Maybe you were meant to always thrive...

Not just survive, but actually live a life

But, what if now, in the midst of all this gloom,

Was the best moment of your life?

You just didn't realise that it was

Until all the other moments came crashing down

Without even making a sound


'Life could be better than this'

Or so you always thought.

So you kept working for it

But 'this' is what you got.

Now, you're just looking back at life

Feeling all distraught, because

You failed to think that life could be worse


Maybe you were meant to be happier

Meant to live a life filled with delight

But what if, right now, was the moment

That you'd ever be the happiest in your life

Because what if, right now, things are the best

The best that they could've ever been

And you just failed to live the moment

 

You're probably thinking

If 'this' is the best, then I don't want it

I'm sure there is better out there...

I'll work hard to get those things that I want

I'll persist and achieve all the goals I've got

Then, I'll know it when I'm finally happy

I'll know it when I'm content with all the things I've got


But what if you're never content

With anything you've ever got?

You have already lost your best moment

Searching for all the better ones out there

But there are no better ones out there

Because 'this' was the best 

And you just failed to live in it

What for? A future you've never seen?

A dreamland into which you've never been?

I AM WOMAN

By SANIA
 I AM WOMAN I am God's precision I am grace I am the fire burning in your face. I'm what you can't envision, I am every holy man's unholy decision. I am phenomenal I am worthy. I am the one thing, Your shaking hands can't hold sturdy. I am tact, I am something you thought Wouldn't remain eternally intact. I am the enchantress I am your merit's peak. I am the vehemence of your desire, And I see you still staring as we speak. I am bewitching  I am beguiling Every time you look my way, I see you dubiously smiling. I am woman. I come in many forms Some frail some warm, Others thickskinned; stirring up a storm. I am mighty,  I am exceptional, Even though I am not God's model-sized angel.

ENCHNATING DREAMS

By SANIA
 ENCHANTING DREAMS Do I look stupid? Running away from dreams that enchant me? Enchanted less, I feel haunted more now. I wish I could ignore them or at least, I wish I could fulfil them. But how do you continue without hope? How do you continue without direction? How do you achieve what seems impossible? These are dreams I see with open eyes, They don't let me sleep. These are the dreams I want to fight for... But these are also the dreams I'm fighting against. It's because these dreams have the power, The power to ruin what I'm working so hard for. But these dreams, they also are the power, The power I hold on to so I don't crumble, Crumble to pieces and fall down on the dusty ground. [-sincerely, a dreamer whose goals are defined by society.]

WHEN I DIE

By SANIA
 WHEN I DIE When I die, Don't look for me In beautiful sunsets across the sea; Or in the sky, feeling the air you breathe For all traces of the life of me Will be six feet under, Under the ground where No one can see the blemishes and blunders That we made together, When we merrily played together. When I'm gone.....  Please don't act all mighty and strong. Let the people know That I was cherished and loved Through all the whimpers and sobs. Let them know, That my absence meant something. Perhaps to just you, not them But let them know, That I really mattered. When I die, Don't try to feel me In the soft summer rain. You know I wrecked thunderstorms, With my feelings of desire and rage. And try not to stargaze  While looking for me For you'll get entranced By the bigger, brighter stars While I glow calmly somewhere else. When I'm gone...  Don't be shy to Freely point out my wrongs, Along with all the mistakes I made. For I never pretended to be The angel all...
