Self Introspection - 8 May 2019 Poem by Umasree Raghunath

Self-introspection -8 May 2019
Within the inner walls of myself,
There is an unsettling storm
Uprooting the trees of wisdom
Disdaining on the valuable thoughts
Every time, I religiously decide to get away
I get back into the swirls of life
This time, in a bigger and brighter way
Giving me no room to think or get away
Tears dried up, fears gone astray
Mind is polluted with the thoughts of dismay
Is this love, is this care, is this madness
As the wandering of mind remain restless
STOP!Shouts my inner self.Don't move!
It urges.I sit down on my knees vulnerable
A sense of calmness prevails, in a prayer
Of the heart trying to pacify the inner soul
Its not about anyone, anything or anywhere
It just happens to be the battles within me
Awaiting the eternal calmness after the storms
Enduring the myths and fantasies of life's norms!
