THE BATTLE FOR SELF-ESTEEM

Don’t hold yourself in low esteem

You need to realise your life’s too supreme

To believe in these worthless public opinion

That hold you no more than a mundane minion.

 

Don’t be afeared of this competition,

It’s a struggle to reach your destination.

Duties, obligations and responsibilities will you be redeemed of

In this world of angst and distress, you will be esteemed.

 

Stick to your path that leads to your destination

And accomplish your countless dreams and aspirations.

Relish your power and unleash your soul

Before this battle takes a heavy toll.

 

Life’s uncertain and it’ll remain to be

Being astute all the time isn’t that easy.

Your mistakes need dynamic deliberation

And you must improvise yourself without any hesitation.

 

So, start fighting this battle however hard it seems,

To win back your glory and self-esteem.

The struggle is hard and can inflict a lot of pain,

But don’t worry your efforts will never go in vain.

GLANCE

This fine gush of wind soothes my soul. The sight of the setting sun refreshes my body as a whole. The flight of birds reminds me of my flying aspirations. The swerving trees make several revelations About life and it’s swinging nature; Sometimes being cruel and other times having a benevolent demeanour. The shrouded sky resembles my doubts and suspicion Regarding my dreams and ambition. The sweet beckoning sound of the birds That keeps on emanating from their herds Seems to me as if life’s giving some indication About the prevailing conditions and makes an estimation Regarding the future and the prospects of the future That are cloaked by the narcissism that we nurtured; It’s time we unite and say together, “Even though we failed to wonder How far we have walked alone Let’s make mankind one and sing in a single tone The song of kindness and generosity And let’s be compassionate and not just feel pity At others’ sorrows and grief Let’s do somet...

Life’s Just Something

Life’s just a storm That needs to be beaten and sent back. Life’s just a turbulence  That needs to be withstood and let it pass. Life’s just a sultry sunny day That needs to be experienced and sweat it away. Life’s just a rainy day That needs to be endured and allowed to pour. Life’s just a tree That needs to grow and be supported to do so. Life’s just a dream That needs to be seen and realised in reality. ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)

EVENING SPLENDOUR

The warmth of the sun Fills my heart with pleasure. The beautiful orangish tint of the sky Gives me a moment of awe and wonder. The returning path of the sparrows, Forms a wonderful sight for my leisure. Wind that blows past my heart, Renders it a lot more-fresher. The soothing beckon of the birds, Gives my ears the comfort of splendour. The trees that line the meanders, Makes them look much greener. The sun’s light is not yet weak And the moon is yet to appear. The loveliness of this eve Rejuvenates me and renders me much stronger And feels as if life’s too big While my problems are much smaller! ~Swosti Prakash Sarangi (SPS)
