Your feelings! 

A poem by M. Lakshmi Prasanna from B.com , I YEAR.

Your feelings!

 

Please don't hide your 

feelings like the sun 

behind branches or the 

moon behind 

streetlights. 

I know the warmness of 

your love, 

That is as pure as the 

color of a dove.

I know the sweetness of 

your smile, 

That sparks fireworks 

in my heart like a 

missile. 

I know the real you 

behind the mask of 

existing, 

The one that dreams of 

living, 

I know the true you 

who secretly wishes to 

stargaze at night, 

Unlike the one who 

tries to reach the stars 

with foresight.

Please don't let your 

inner child fade away, 

She deserves to be here, 

not too far away. 

I know you're not like 

those snowflakes that 

melt before the sun 

comes, 

Because you're like 

auroras. rare, yet 

showing their true 

colors. 

Please be you and I'll be 

there for you. 

Don't forget about 

yourself before 

knowing the value of 

your true self. 

You might be like a 

peony in the field of 

roses, 

Similar and unnoticed, 

But unique and 

remarked. 

You feel like you do not 

belong anywhere, until 

realizing you belong 

nowhere, 

Because you are where 

you should be, not 

where you need to be. 

Don't abandon yourself 

in the blueming, 

By comparing yourself 

with other's blooming.
