The unheard and the unseen

When I was a child,
First word that I spoke made others smile

Even when I couldn't speak...
Everything was conveyed by my cry

When I went to school,
I passed every test...

At that moment,
I felt I am the best

The world seemed to revolve around me
But then... my world was small

I felt I have achieved all!

Now, my world has broaden itself...
I have discovered my two selves

The world within me has made an outer shell

It is my own self which has become a part of the society
It is my own self which follows each and every conventionality

But something inside shouts at me
It wants to breakthrough and discover the real me

But my ears can't listen to this sound
They are just concerned about the world around

My eyes can't see this pain
Their attempt is in vain

A cry during my childhood conveyed it all
But now it is a cry of my fall

I want to listen to myself again..
I want to hear myself...
I want to see the real me...

I want to pass every test again
I want my cry to be heard again

I want to be a child again
Because then, there will be no pain

  20. Some words are expressive, some are made expressive and some written to express ur thoughts.

    I think this one is a mix of all, which connects each one at some point of our life.

  22. Nice post.. amazing way to start off..

    when I started reading it I was like OK how's this gonna end?? But then the way you connected the dots and made an analogy with being the child again part, totally nailed it..

    though whatever I've heard of u n seen u, u dont seem to be a serious person.. so will be watching this space for some funny stuff..

    until then.. way to go!!!

  24. The first reaction after reading ur blog was wow "someone just penned down my thoughts" and i guess this is an ongoing quest for everyone .

    Few lines which amazed and amused me :

    "Now, my world has broaden itself...
    I have discovered my two selves"


    and

    "But my ears can't listen to this sound
    They are just concerned about the world around"


    Keep up the good work :)

  41. hey sukhi,

    Wat an amazing thought to start your first blog with. I loved the way you have named your blog... Sukhspeare... reminded me of the eternal "a small price for someone priceless".
    I would not say that to me this is a new side of you. I am familiar with Sukhi, the pensive and Sukhi, the thinker and Sukhi, the writer. In this post, it is all this combined in one.
    Keep writing and keep up the good work. Miss you and look forward to more of your thoughts keyed down in your blog. God bless sweetheart!
