VJ’s Weekly Challenge #100: Pause

VJ’s Weekly Challenge #100: Pause

( for someone who ended his life, he might have been desperate but what about his father and sisters and all relatives and friends, who were very proud of him)

perhaps

a timely pause

before taking the final leap

could have changed

your perspective

does your decision

to end your life

affects only you

or your dear ones

who put their faith in you

stand by you

accepting all you whims

supported you

you died only once

they will die

a thousand deaths

Pockets of Stillness

जिंदगी दौड़ रही

बेरोक बेलगाम सी 

कभी कभी इसमें 

विश्राम होना चाहिए
जिंदगी कटी यहाँ 

वहां घूम घूम के
अब तो कोई 

पड़ाव होना चाहिए
बदला ना खुद को कभी 

अपनी ही जिद में जिए
अब तो व्यवहार में 

बदलाव  होना चाहिए  

बचपन में खेले खूब  

जवानी में भटक लिए
बुढ़ापे में थोड़ा  

ठहराव होना चाहिए

~Indira

 

It is so much more rewarding to understand than to feel right, even if that means changing your mind about a subject, an ideology, a person and even yourself. — Maria Popova
