Soliloquy - Talking to the Mirror

Soliloquy - Talking to the Mirror

a1e1b33d.jpg

Your eyes seem to speak a thousand words that I understand just fine,
Or do I? For it maybe my own thoughts, lost and sublime.

Gone are the days when we used to be scared of the world outside,
It's time for us to step out and lose ourselves in this new life.

No wonder it always seems so wrong to talk out aloud and face our fears,
For it is true that many a times they have come back to move us to tears. 

We speak to let people know what lies beneath our happy smiles,
They might be stories of love or of our feelings put away in aisles.

When the heart is torn knowing that you never can be who you really are,
That is the time you know that things have gone just too far. 

You pushed yourself too much to understand the rest,
But it is never going to pay off, since you never can be the best.

It is time for you to accept everything and be happy the way you are,
'Cause there's nothing more soothing than the peace you get when your soul is no more at war.

-Proma Nautiyal


This is a poem I had written a few years back. Thought of sharing it with you all, at beBee. :-)

A content writer and marketer by profession, I have a knack for marketing, technology, and languages. When I am not doing anything related to the above three, you will find me on my spiritual quest. For me life is about continuous learning till the end of days. 

My motto: "There is no bigger pleasure than going to bed, everyday, a little bit wiser and happier than you woke up that morning."

Thank you so much for your kind comment, Cyndi wilkins! I am so happy that I could write something that you found so touching. This poem came from the bottom of my heart, I wrote it at a time when I needed to hear these words the most.

Interestingly, Susan \ud83d\udc1d Rooks, the Grammar Goddess, soon after I wrote this poem and read through the lines again and again, did I realize what was tormenting me. Today, I can happily say that my soul and I are both on the same page. Well, almost. :-)

So beautifully expressed, Harvey Lloyd. Those are the very thoughts that ran through my mind. We often suppress our fears and feelings as a way to keep at bay what the expression of the same might bring upon us. But this only pushes us farther from who we really are. And that is a rather painful feeling. Thank you for your comment and share!

Seems its search for inner self, surroundings and some solace!
Lovely, Proma \ud83d\udc1d Nautiyal! Is your soul "no more at war"?

A great Thursday kick-off thought. Take a moment to reflect.

Great thoughts as always. The mirror is a place of horror to be avoided or a place that reveals wisdom. The soul is a something we can only see our own, we can guess at others with their signals they send, but we can't know. If we never look upon the mirror to see who we are and grow that wisdom of self awareness we can never know another. If we do not appear before the mirror then those on the outside will reflect what they want us to reflect. Thanks for the words, they inspire.

Thank you, Pascal Derrien. I love the word soliloquy and the freedom it gives to express oneself through words, while they are immersed in soulful introspection.

And right you did by sharing it 😀 The term has given authority to people to speak to themselves a great word soliloquy......
