Beautiful Souls.



There was a girl so quiet,
There was a girl with a lot of hidden talent,
There was a girl who thought she can't,
But that girl could shine in the dark.

She was scared and left behind,
She felt unprotected to cross her garden,
She traveled in a school van with her grandma,
That is how unprotected she felt to leave her zone.

But she had to leave her zone,
She had to face the world,
She cried out her heart at just its thought,
But she had to, cause life never seems to be fair.

Time went by with insecurity growing in,
Tears pouring and fears roaring,
Missing all the comfort she had at home,
She longed to see grandma at the door.

In that world beyond her zone,
She suddenly met a few strangers,
Fears grew like weed in the paddy field,
The strangers suddenly pushed her off the cliff.

She was helpless and out of her comfort zone,
Then suddenly there were beautiful wings which popped out,
She never even knew she had beautiful wings with her,
They made her realize how far she could fly.

They dragged out her hidden talents,
Even she didn't know,
Then she realized,
That the strangers who scared her are a gift from God.

The strangers today are well-known,
They are no longer strangers,
But beautiful souls who never knew favoritism,
Who always guided my path,

Yes that girl is me and the beautiful souls are my Teachers who always guided me.

When The Lights Went Out...

Surrounded by four brick walls, I could not look out, they were too tall, Watching the steam escaping the spout, I looked out the windows so small. On this chilly and gloomy night, I was amazed by the stars so bright, I realized there's always some light, It's just a matter of catching our sight. At the time, everybody just frowned, My heart was filled with stormy clouds, Seated on the chilly ground, I enjoyed, the chirping sounds. Even though I had to shout, Trying hard to chase away the stormy clouds, With a prayer requesting for a favor, To the lessons taught by nature, My head I bowed, On the gloomy night,  When the lights went out. -Debra R.

The place which once was considered home by many...

I knew a place where people called home But they were considered unconscious prisoners They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people thought was paradise But they were considered brainless slaves They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people were ready to die for And the place was ready to kill them all They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people spent their days & nights The place welcomed them with fake delight They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place where people wasted their personal life And was encouraged and cherished for doing so They didn't know,  They didn't see it coming I knew a place who gave many their pride And burned that pride into ashes in a blink of an eye They didn't know, They didn't see it coming I knew a place which was everything to many But they were just a replaceable resource They d

Together Let's Plead...

There used to be days, He stared at the waves, With a smile on his face, Though his heart was scraped. For understanding he craved, Hiding in a dark cave, His sorrows were caged, By the judgments raised. He had no right, to shed a tear, In the light, he lived in fear, To survive, he did not need a beer, Yes he lives, on Earth, right here. The world would say, he's care free, I see him walking, bare feet, This sunny day, on the tar street, They helped him out, the shady trees. This sorrow my friend, would fade away, Our life on Earth, is a short stay, I know you're hurt, in many ways, To the selfish world, we all are preys. Feelings have turned from gold to steel, Idle creeps in to this life, to steal, Each day that ends, is a falling leaf, It's hard, to wake up, from this bad dream, To the one above, together let's plead. -Debra R.
