Handle with care

There are many instances in life when people try to manoeuvre you and your decisions by commenting on them. This kind of unsolicited advice can vex anyone. Nobody can navigate your journey until you let them. So let’s thank Almighty for each day when we have the ability to make it right for ourselves.

There are a million ways in which

the mind can be muddled

I can walk over all of them

crushing them with my determination

rising above all the chaos

opening up the closed doors

The radiance of a pragmatic spirit

makes me soar through the open skies

shedding off the dust on my wings

flying over an illuminated horizon

Whenever their pressures tarnish me from the inside

I swim to the crest and surf over their discernment

they can’t drown the thoughts in my mind

I can handle it with care because I have learned to breathe through the depths

I’m the one who can evaluate what is best

you can’t step over my amateur thoughts

I treasure my prudence well enough

I carry on my life

With gratitude

I have learnt to be in a happy space since I started penning down my perspective as a poet and a writer.
