Broken (No Rebuilding myself)
From the author's desk:
We are all players. We have to play a game called life, whether we like to play or not. The specialty of this game is that nobody knows how to play it; nobody knows its next move. Only we have to play along. There is only one way of winning this game, i.e., to accept all the situations thrown by it on us and instead of running from these situations, one should face it. We should not only face it but also look directly into its eyes and say I m not going to lose this time. I have learned from my life that it makes us meet our fear, insecurities, and things that we are afraid of at every other turn. It put us in such a situation where we didn't have another option but to fight. Either we can give our hundred percent and win this game or lose it without a fight. We can win any battle when it is fought with others. But it is tough to win a Battle fought against oneself.
"We are all lost in
The game of life
We are all lonely
Scared of being alone
Instead of making
oneself happy
We are trying to find
happiness in others
But we can win this
game only when
We learn to live
like a lone wolf
Who is not afraid
of staying alone."
In childhood, when we learn to walk, we fall but then get up and try again and do it till we know how to walk perfectly. The same happens in life. Whenever we think that everything is perfect and life is smooth, it hit us hard as a specialty of life is that it is unpredictable. It puts us in a situation and makes us think that we can't come out of it without anyone's support. We start searching for someone's hands that will come and pull us out from all our problems. We expect others to understand and help us to overcome all our problems. But We forget when we fall, we have to get up on our own. Instead of expecting from others, one should expect themselves.
"You are a beautiful human being
Yes, you do make a mistake
Yes, you may fall sometimes
But don't let other's overpower you
You can stand, you can fight, you can win
So take time to rebuild yourself
Take time to love yourself
Take your time; it's ok."
It's ok if you lose, it's ok if you stumble, it's ok if you can't fight anymore, it's ok if you are tired, it's ok if you are broken. All these are perfectly normal. Just give yourself some time. It is your duty to take care of yourself. Your happiness is your responsibility. It is our responsibility to find solutions for all our problems. Sometimes destiny becomes so harsh that it breaks us into thousand pieces. Even after millions of efforts, we cannot compose and calm ourselves. Our minds show us the correct way, but our hearts deny logical reasoning. It is impossible to lift the bloody pieces of a broken heart like a mirror. This is the time when you have to help yourself. You have to carve yourself by becoming your craftsman because the real intention of life is not to break you but to rebuild you so that you can become strong and will be able to face the difficulties that come.
"There is nothing purer
Than a strong heart
Which has learned
How to make gold out of pain."
Healing is a prolonged process. Most of the time, it takes a lot of time to work. During this stage, when others see us, they think that we are broken, but they don't realize that we are not broken. We are at the stage of rebuilding ourselves. During this stage, we need to keep ourselves self-motivated. Who other than a good book can play this role better, which is what my debuted poetry book " Broken ( No Rebuilding Myself) is all about. There are moments in life when you find yourself alone, lost and broken. You cannot talk to anyone about what you are experiencing or communicate what you are feeling. You know this feeling, but you can't make them understand how it felt to be like this. Read and flow with these poems, tumble with them through your mind like stones and soon you will see their luster. These poems will help you soothe and encourage yourself. It will motivate you to fight with a beautiful smile on your face and never give up. These are not only poems but the motivational message for women. The book is a collection of poems both in Hindi and English, which shows the struggle of women in every phase of her life. How beautifully she faces, fight and come out of it. It is a salute to all women who are real heroes in daily life and a true fighter.
"Hope is that boat
Which sweeps us from
Failure to success
Tears to smile
And from
Destruction to construction
Of our future"...
