Blessed are those who pray for others while struggling with pain inside!
She managed to smile,
didn’t want to be hostile.
The ignorance pinched her hard,
And then started the bombard.
At her every small move,
She had to prove.
And it continued for years,
She pined for love from dears.
Each day she had to drag (herself);
As didn’t know how to brag.
She entered a room full of expectations,
And faced a lot of rejections.
Once was a happy-go-lucky soul,
Others’ happiness was her only goal.
While pleasing others every single day,
Her dream life had to delay.
She wanted to speak aloud,
But was mum throughout.
Waiting for them to value her sacrifice,
Expectation from her only magnifies.
Dealing with the nasty feeling of rejection
She found herself in dejection.
What went wrong, she wondered,
She cried like a little bird.
‘What has she done’- she overheard,
And she was shattered.
Bearing endless pain inside,
She walked away and got aside.
She gave wings to her dreams,
While silencing her inner screams,
She knew it’s not worth chasing anymore;
As things could never be the same as before.
Finding strength in helping others;
She found her place where she matters.
She grew like a tree and raised the bar;
Has been smiling through scar (s).
Dedicated to all the women who have embraced their pain, shone,
and all set to inspire others to live an abundant life (full of gratitude).
