I'm looking through a looking-glass
The reality seems so bleak
and the nightmares seem so true
Pain, sadness, and anxiety
all have begun to bloom
I'm looking through the looking-glass
My dreams and hopes are dwindling
all the sunshine I was storing
seems to be just ending
I'm looking through the looking-glass
Worms of fear and hatred and sneaking everywhere
Rotten feelings and jealousy
are trying to make a mound somewhere
I'm looking through the looking-glass
Looking for the smile I hid it last time
dug and stuck it so deep
that no hurt can ever seem to find
I'm looking through the looking-glass
for the saplings of love and passion
I am trying so desperately to sprout
making sure the anger doesn't make it rot
I'm looking through the looking-glass
so it magnifies the little hope I have
I'm looking through the looking-glass
Hoping to see you look back.

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.

Oh my gosh, yes. Heck, even now at times…but I refuse to give in to those emotions.

This really speaks to me. i love the repetition – the constant reminder that we perceive things through how we feel (the emotions at the moment). In literature we refer to the cultural eye when describing how a writer tells a story and this reminds of of that.
