Came across this piece of poetry on Ay's blog,
Why can't I speak when I have so much to tell?
Why can't I write when I have so much in my mind?
Why can't I sing when there's music in my heart?
Why can't I dance when there's rythm in the air?
Too many words left unspoken
Too many things left undone
Why can't it be and why can't I?
For all I know this pain deep inside me
Took the gladness out of me.
Even Triya, when she does poetry, manages to put only sadness into her words. With all due respect, for the maximum poetry I can do is rhyming cat with hat and a bat. But me is starting to get angry at all this depressive mood. Specially amongst me friend. Pah. So, both the two of you, STOP.
You can't speak even though you have so much to tell is because you aren't ready to talk about it as yet.
You can't write even though there's so much on your mind, because you aren't ready to tell your tale to the world as yet. There are times when all I want to do is write, but nothing comes to mind. I have to give myself time, and then it comes. The words put themselves together... and I finally manage to put my thoughts into words. It takes patience. And acceptance.
You can't sing even though there's music in your heart, because sometimes, we just need to dance to it by ourselves. For some time. Before we share it. Selfish things that we are.
And you can't dance even when there's rythm in the air, because you're already swaying to the music that's there in your heart. When the time is right, you'll dance to the music that surrounds you.
Why are people in such a hurry at all times? There's a time for everything... To hurt, to cry, to laugh and to sing. Or two-step. Have confidence in yourself, to allow yourself time. Love yourself enough, to think that you're worth giving time to. It's only when your in this rush, do you leave things undone and words unspoken.
Personally, to me it's a test of character. It's a very tough test. I might have failed a few people myself. Maybe a lot of people. Though, I hope not. Because, giving time is not easy. In fact, I think it's the toughest thing to do. 'cuz it's got to be selfless.
And most of all... if you don't forgive yourself, the pain inside you will never go. It's easy to forgive people for hurting you, but it's tough to accept that you've wronged and you've hurt and you've cried. And forgive yourself for it. Because for that you need time. Which apparently, NO ONE has!!! Pah.
I'm not, dishing out random stuff that i've read somewhere. I've been there and done that. Oh!! And Ay, many many happy returns of the day. May you always have money to buy hair dye, get your hearing aid upgraded and may you always be able to buy the top notch walking sticks. Hope you have an amazing day! And the rest of the crowd that visits. And that doesn't visit. God bless you souls :)
Yours forever sthupitly!
I can't do any of the things u mentioned for all the wrong reasons.. Or right? I don't really know..
I can't speak.. Coz it takes me 2 hours to say what I wanna say & it takes a minute for someone to gag me shut..
I can't sing.. My voice is said to have fascinated biologists all over the world in the field of study regarding 'mating of frogs'..
I can't dance... Coz.. Well.. Have u ever seen a Hippo do the ballet?? :P
& as for writing.. I think that's the only option left & Voila! There arises the blog..
& I think ur friend is weird if he/she says he/she can't write but manages to emote all his/her feelings on blogdom..
Anyway, I'm a first time visitor, randomnly blog-hopping..
So, hey!
@arvind:
firstly, if you can't, then you have a lot to learn.
Secondly, if it takes you two hours to say what you want to say only to have people shut you up, you're in the wrong company.
Thirdly, ribet.
Fourthly, infact I have seen a hippo do the ballet. With frills and all.
Fifthly, my "friends" one he, and the other she, are not weird, CRAZY yes since they allow me their company.
Sixthly, I hope we see you here more often.
Lastly, I can see you've purposely mis constructed everything I've had to say, and I can see why too. Lol. So, like everyone else here does.. speak your mind and your heart. Hippos and frogs and snakes and mean ol' men, all belcome.
Thankus for bisiting,
Yours forever sthupitly.
actually, i know triya and i apreciate a lot her writting, and NOT ONLY becouse she writtes wonderful poetry. its more becouse she says what she realy feels...
i'm sad and depressive too (i'll leave your blog right away if you say you cant stand sadness anymore ;D), but the truth is that i feel like that. i'm tired of trying to forgive, myself and others, to give people time, when they dont give ME time, and dont wait for me, and above all, i'm tired of forcing happiness into myself, just becouse i should. sometimes, things have rational explanations, and all i need to do is give some time for them to solve, but...i dont feel that.
the truth is that some people are naturally happy, and others dont.
happiness - or not - to you all
really nice post...makes a lot of sense to me...
If you must know, sad and depressing poetry is very easy to write but a true poet is one who can make their poetry light and funny
everyone can dance...I mean if I can..then who cant!!
and the same applys for singing....people at school are fascinated by how I make a fool of meself with so much ease by singing..not that i am Madonna or something..(not that Madonna sings well!!)
....why did i say all this?? (I guess i can talk too)
so YIPEE!!
@silvercat: I'm not saying i don't appreciate the stuff she writes. We're cosmic twins, both of us accept it... lol. She writes beautifully. And so does Ay, whose probably grown another head by now, after all this praise and attention. I love both their writings, and them.
I know what your saying too. I've been there too. And that's where I decided that it's high time I gave myself some time instead of others. If I felt like not being happy, I wasn't. If I felt like dancing, I danced. And if I wanted to sob, I did excatly that. I'm not a person who can completely start ignoring the people around me and their feelings, but I've just started making place for me, in my world. Without feeling selfish about it. That's all I'm saying.. There is no rush to feel everything, at one go. Go with the flow, and you'll be great.
You are always belcome here. I love all the attention ;)
@sis: lol. You DO sing well, love. And you are correct, it is difficult to write happy poetry. after all there aren't too many words that rhyme with yay. There's may, pay, say. Oh! And day.
Thankus for bisiting guys. Lotsaluv and hugs,
Yours forever sthupitly.
maan!! this rocks!!

<(*_*)> ..this is copied!!
I just read the part that said " You are great " and I kinda dozed off through the middle part :P
Get somethign more nonsensical to talk about than emotions :P
Rythwin
P.S.: The treatment is going on W-E-L-L
couldn't it be that they aren't sad or anything...but that those are emotions that have found an outlet...or maybe just plain realised something...
(or maybe it is just me putting myself in their shoes)
new post up, please comment...shall pay in kind:)
Rofl. Ahem.
I don't do only sadness! :o :o :o It's just an outlet..
*Grin* But okay, if you insist so much, Preets, I will stop, or at least try to. :D No more sad poems.

thankus for bisiting guys.
Yours forever sthupitly.
I feel like i'm a few of bani, just like Triya feels like she is nav..
We all took some tiem to talk about taime.. "I agree" -- the two words of outlet.. neutralize the situation and emphasize on the point you are about to tell. ok, now where am i? i lost what i was about to tell..
but, well.. almost all things have been discussed in here.... But one point that was hit right on the nail was 'wait till your time comes'.. its a little tricky to understand. If i'm right `shtupit tries to say`¹ that it does not mean you are going to wait *ONLY* for that.. you could completely engage yourself in many others till then (or something like that to give it enough time). It may happen better when it had more time.. if you didn't give it enought time, but hasted up, it isn't a problem, it might happen again. So, At that point of time, it would seem the best.. but you could have avoided the first one.
Sometimes it could be the time that the first one helped.. .. helped you learn (hmm, is this going way to complex?) You must have gone into a virtual world by now, but i'm sorry, if you were lost.
It is the absoluteness that has brought us this haste.. So all she tries to say is give it enough time.. but when time comes, never hesitate. we just need to identify the distinct line between the two and that is what it gets really difficult for all of us to do.
@shtupit: Tiemly one on taime, by the way.. I just had enough tiem to get to this post and something made me i commented on this very late. :P
k, its my laziness :P
