Shashwot T.Joshi Poems

'Oh tender heart, why do you cry?
Why do you weep when you see the light,
And why do you mourn when you see the night?
...

'You say you love me, but you never truly did,
Always striking where it hurt, no matter how I hid.
Beautifully crafted lies, mixed with crocodile tears,
But your deceit could no longer mask my fears.
...

Her smile, as bright as the sun,
Her hair, darker than the night.
No matter the situation, when I see her,
I always find myself smiling.
...

Who are we, and why do we discriminate?
In the end, we are all the same.
Race, religion, caste, and culture
Are meaningless in the eyes of God; we are all equal.
...

What is life, and what is death?
Why are we born, and why will we fade?
Is God real or just a myth,
Are we His children, or just adrift?
...

Let go of all your burdens and be a child,
Sometimes, listen to your heart, even if it's wild.
Only the heart knows your truest self,
So speak freely, and dust fears off the shelf.
...
