Poem on Beauty

What does beauty mean?

Nor it is how pretty we’ve always been

Neither having an attractive face and being mean.

Beauty comes from within,

But not when you have committed a sin.

A sin of calling people ugly,

Because of their skin tone.

Because of their invisible collar bone.

Because of their saggy skin.

Or because of their double chin.

I don’t know

Why do we characterize beauty by face,

There is no winner of this race, if this stays the case.

Beauty should be characterized by values,

Emotions, feelings, confidence and virtues.

Beauty is the sun, water, sand and air,

Beauty is laughter, love, tears and care.

It is a feeling, an emotion, a perception,

But if you don’t know what is actually means,

Please don’t reach to conclusions.

Beauty is brightness of  summer,

And the chills of  winter.

The dryness of  autumn,

And the droplets of  monsoon.

Beauty is a blooming flower,

Or even a surviving cactus.

Beauty is what you are as a person,

And not how you look.

Beauty is treating everyone with love,

Beauty is the fresh smell of a book.

Stop making people feel bad for how they look

Everyone is beautiful in their own way,

Remind this to yourself, each and every day.

Make sure you are beautiful in your own way,

Stand strong, no matter what people say.

Beauty is seeing beauty in other people,

It is seeing everyone as an equal.

For me, beauty is you!

I’ll be more than happy if you believe it too.

Poem on Dream

Image
Dream It was midnight and I screamed my throat out, Mother rushed in, “honey, why do you shout?” I felt numb to my stench and scared to my bones, Was it the monster under my bed or clanking of stones? I looked at her face, face so distressed, She might wonder her child is a mess. “What happened dear? You look terrified.” “I had a bad dream Ma, I almost died. In my dream, I was walking home alone, Somebody grabbed my hand & wouldn’t let me go. To my consternation, I couldn’t see his face, I retaliated but miserably failed. He pushed me to the ground & pulled my hair, Wanted to scream but I couldn’t dare. I tried to run but I lost my speed, The only option left was to plead. He came closer and took out his blade, I felt helpless at the same time, afraid. He wanted to kill me, he might come again, It was just a dream causing me a lot of pain. Mom hugged me tight and I did feel safe, But I knew I couldn’t be any brave. I might be over this horrible dream, But...

Poem on Moments

  MOMENTS CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL: HARSHITA SOLANKI Little moments all around Moments which make me happy Moments which make me sad Make me so impressionable That I put my pen to paper To breach the schedule of my time. . Moments of intrusion Of all the negatives Of all the falseness Of all the viscid deep music That hovers my head Like angels and demons. . Moments of being scared Of the monster inside the human body Of the smell of the lavender candle. . Moments like these Where I hold the pillow Not to hug it tight But to throw it away. . For the first time Maybe I want to Allay my own fears To become something better And by better I mean A little less heinous Or a little more vicious. ~Harshita Solanki Also check out: Poem on An imaginary city  Poem on A letter to self

Poem on 'A day in my room'

  A day in my room Also, check out my Youtube channel, do subscribe :)  -  Harshita Solanki Right now I am sitting in my room, My eyes reaching out to my balcony, the flower blooms .   I just took out the mattress mom bought for me, Looks like antique but is somehow dust free.   The room is so quite, I can only hear the fan, There’s this picture in front of me, of a beautiful man.   I don’t know who he is, I guess I watched a show, My brother said he would tear it out and I screamed NO.   I also own a book shelf with many untouched books, I evidently judged them by their covers or looks.   I took out one of them & it smelled old, Ugly cover and pages were dull and cold.   Here’s a diary which includes all the shayaris that my father wrote, Beautiful handwriting and precious notes.   This small room has so much life in it, All the memories and furniture perfectly fit.   The photographs consisting love an...
