Nobody is free without breaking open

April is National Poetry Writing Month. Using a series of prompts to write poetries this month. The title of the post is the prompt.

I had a dream,
But didn't want to work for it.
I wanted the fame,
But didn't want to sweat for it.

I had a passion,
But didn't want to strive for it.
I wanted the life,
But didn't want to struggle for it.

I had a love,
But didn't want to love for it.
I wanted to be free,
But didn't want to break for it.

I am trying to do something ambitious. Publish at least a 100 words every day for an entire month. I am calling it my No Break November.

Just a thought

I wish I had the power to say something and then take it back. No, I don’t regret hurting someone with my words. Rather, I want to live that conversation and see how it goes, move onto the next without having the baggage of the first.

Keep Pushing On

Cannot believe how quickly life changes colours. The last time I wrote, I wrote about the“Painting of Life” (In 2013 I think). The last 2 lines of that Poem were -

Okay!

And I find it so fascinating, how these people will just say in a few words which would take me hour long conversations.

Reading Habit

My monkey brain is in overdrive when I am alone. I can’t read. I can’t write. I can’t watch an entire movie. I can’t code. Well this is all I can do when I can. There is not much else to me.
