For all those someones in my life

Hardcore. The word we all root for. Work for. Stand for. But if you're in a serious problem what are you most likely to do? Will you choose to face it alone and prove to the whole wide world that you're really strong? But what if you can face that problem with someone by your side? Someone with that vibe.  Someone you cares for you no matter what. Someone who always has that beautiful smile for you. Someone who will tirelessly walk a mile just to see that you're alright.. Someone who will purely love you even when you can't love yourself and understand you when you can't understand yourself. Isn't that someone just the person you need in your life? So ask yourself. How many such someones have you met in your life?

 Right now while reading this most people would have just one person in their head but trust me there are many more.

Ever heard those wedding vows? 

“From this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.”

If you pay close attention then you’ll realize that some people have served these vows without you even asking for it. And those some people? Our parents. Our best friends. Our siblings. And even those people relations with whom have no name. These are the someones in your life apart from of course the love of your life. So what I’m asking you to do is simple. Thank them for being that ‘someone’.

And freely accept that when your heart will decide to rest it would be somewhere around the warmth of  their hearts.

Return to my nest

As the sun sets 

And another day comes to an end,

I see the birds returning to their nest

As soon as the darkness begins to cover the rest.

But then I think why would they do that?

Why not face the darkness

Rather than running to the nest?

Coward birds,aren't they?

Can't even face the night alone....

But then I realized the unexplained truth

That we humans bear the same booth,

When the gloom becomes prevalent 

And staying in the darkness tends to our doom,

When the depression strikes up 

And the loneliness strikes you out,

Do we not choose 
To return to the nest,

Where we feel the warmth 

And can let go of the rest...?

So are we cowards? 

Or in a constant search of warmth?

Are we homesick?

Or just want to find places where everything just clicks?

Is it necessary to be strong 

And face the darkness alone?

Rather setting your ego aside

And sharing your troubles with someone worth it all?
