aashka thakkar Poems

I sit here day and night
Wishing with all my might
That one day you will see
How much you mean to me
...

It wasn't long ago that I was another person
I was quiet and shut people out for no reason
I would smile but it wouldn't symbolize happiness
Then one day I met a friend that would soon be my best
...

Sometimes I can see myself running.
But what am I running from?
I'm running from life.
It's impossible to get away.
...

This morning I didn't want to lift my head,
I didn't even want to get out of bed.

This morning I didn't want to take a shower,
...

To hold you all close is one of the
few times I feel at ease. To look at your
faces and know you'll forget me in time
makes my eyes water.
...

I am love in the face of hate
I am kindness in the face of ridicule
I am strength in the face of diversity
I am patience in the face of the mule
...

Adrift in a sea of sadness
lost in my thoughts
Jokes can be taken so harsh
when meant to be taken lightly
...

As I walked into the high school,
People were watching us.
But I didn't notice now.
...

You hold my hand when I am weak,
And vulnerable at times.
And as you smile I cannot help
But turn my lips upward,
...

Why am I so different?
What did I ever do?
To deserve the kind of treatment
that I receive from you.
