When problems arise
Like dark clouds into my skies,
A strange kind of thrill goes over me.
Why?
Because I am a writer.
I thrive on adversity.
Rolling and tumbling fill me with words
Which come out as pearls on paper...
When my efforts go down the drain,
And everything I do goes in vain,
It doesn't matter anymore.
Why?
Because I am a writer.
I love to write.
And I am no longer in it for rewards.
My words are my best rewards...
When people at my work station
Tell me my performance is below their expectation,
I just smile and shrug it off like a duck in a pond.
Why?
Because I am a writer.
I know myself and my worth much better.
One day these people and I will all be gone into thin air.
But my words will stay and echo through the whole universe...
Words have immense power. They continue to thrill and inspire others even after we disappear from this Earth! I greatly applaud your sense of pride in being a writer, Jasbir! Yes, we all can be proud that we are writers! ! Great write!
Because I am a writer. I know myself and my worth much better. One day these people and I will all be gone into thin air. But my words will stay and echo through the whole universe. Yes Ma'am.

Thanks for your hearty appreciation of my poems, Kumarmani...I don't think I can thank you enough for all those wonderful comments you have left behind on so many of my poems. Thanks once again!
Even though one may not believe in God, one may experience such unease as heaven--given. Isn't it strange?
Recently, due to my writerly sensitivity, I too experienced a tremulous unease which you describe so aptly as 'rumbling and tumbling.' I am tempted to call it divine unease.
I am writer and I love to write...loved this truthful expression...Top score.
