YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
Updated: Sep 28, 2019

Something has changed
I feel beautiful
Every single day.
Even with pathetic moods,
Frizzy hair, the invented moons,
Toothless smiles,
All my complaints
And even in the absence of you.
I feel beautiful.
I am not the person
I was yesterday.
I am growing older
With newer freckles,
Stories and grey hair.
Now, I travel without plans.
I am forgetting Days and people.
I am learning and
Unlearning at the same time.
Shedding parts of me
And earning some.
I feel it so strong.
May be,
It's the readjusted
Mirror in front
Or the lights.
I feel a perfect illusion.
I am not exhausted
By transitions
But comforted by warmth
Of the new found home
Within my own doors.
And, I believe
I am the most beautiful person
I have known.
An ode to all beautiful beings. :)
It is desirable to expect a few comforting words from our closed ones. But, sometimes they might just miss to convey the same especially when we would want to hear it the most.
They make their best efforts to be around us but human efforts are inherently erroneous. I am trying to subtly make a point in this poem. I hope you enjoy the idea.
And, thank you for all the love and appreciation. IN GOOD HOURS WITH FROST saw it's first book fair in Delhi this September and is now headed to Pune Book Fair, October. See ya!
