I’m a mother of a smart and energetic seven-year-old. I started expressing myself creatively since the last two years. Since then I have been continuously inspired by events in my life and around me which has helped me in penning my thoughts.
I’m an avid reader, loves to sing, an ardent lover of poetry and sometimes can scribble few lines too. Loves to dance in the rain, have an undying love for nature, can watch the beautiful sunset for hours. Love to kiss and hug my loved ones.
I have worked in the IT field for almost a decade as a manager, worked crazy hours and traveled around the world. In that busy schedule, I never got the time to creatively express my thoughts. Now every time I finish a poem, free verse anything it fills me with so much happiness and excitement and a feeling to have created something of my own. I’m planning to post at least one creation of mine weekly.
Lastly, a million thanks to all who visit, like or follow my tiny bits of creation.
Every time you do that, I get to know one more beautiful person in my life and get the chance to see their creation too.

She tries to gell with them Get carried away in the crowd Wants to be part of them wants to be in unison with their sound She tries desperately to dress like them sound like them and feel like them her identity shreds into pieces her soul ripped apart She has no voice left of her own He heart is screaming aloud Tears are rolling down silently she wonders how much more pain she has to endure How much more she has to put her through trying to fit the cookie cutter trying to be with "The popular"

It is so heartbreaking when one tries hard to be “popular” and fails!

Too many in this world try to fit into a cookie cutter mold that is impossible to squeeze into. I think the first rule for anyone is to simply be who you are at the moment. However, I understand the pressures this world places on a human being. Awesomely said, Megha.

The need to fit in can be overwhelming – beautifully expressed! On a side note I think there may be a typo on this line ” He heart is screaming aloud” I think you meant to say ‘her’. 🙂
Lovely as always!

Sadly I’ve seen so many young people do this, and yet, even though they intuit it will fail, they still waste the energy and time. Amazing how the ego drives.
