Words Composed



Confession is the best composition
She sighed as she sat on her couch

A little space to walk is much more precious
Than the thousand camera flashes blinding

It is wise to trust your inside
As inspiration within makes beautiful creations

Followers and admirers expect
What you may not even want to create

And you create this and that
To stop them stoning you in despair

Finally you look behind than forward
And satisfy them, not you


It is worth following your heart
Without anyone following you

She stepped into the world of writing to fly high
As much as her imaginations could take her

She thought that the fan following will
Encourage her on her journey

But alas, she was only pushed so harsh
With the negative words of cruel criticism

No, she wasn't to fall, she wasn't to win
She was there to fly to a world of fairies

She wrote to satisfy her hunger and thirst
Not to feed the demanding gluttons

The first claps that she received so fine
Brought her now the burden of guilt

Passion called her back to her niche
To be lost in her dreams till thoughts become words

And the words to deliver into the world of freedom
Liberating her soul beyond the limits

As she closed her eyes and stretched on her couch
She saw the beautiful people who supported her

She chose to leave the big stage of fame, filled with
Fake smiles before her and dirty smirks behind her

Truth would've hurt, but it freed them all
As pretending was the worst to hurt

People called her proud, her conscience pricked a bit
She had to choose between peace and race

Events, promotions, publicity, marketing
Did she become a commodity that she had to sell?

Beyond the awards and rewards
The joy in the depth of her heart mattered

Words danced around her in grace
And slid to papers through her pen

She felt so light and into her depths she dived
Born was the best which outdid the rest

At the crossroad of her path
She met the turning point of her life

  3. If you are a writer and you want to have peace of mind, you must pen for yourself first. What others think is beyond our control. I can relate to this poem. A soulful read.
