If It Was Me

I wouldn’t be rude to anyone the way others are, thinking that being rude can control someone. I wouldn’t lie to anyone like those who defend themselves using false phrases. I wouldn’t cheat anyone the way some friends—or even love—can. I wouldn’t discriminate between urban and rural lives. I wouldn’t be disrespectful or misbehave, especially when someone trusts me enough to recommend me—for a workspace or elsewhere. I wouldn’t offend others like different generations often do. I wouldn’t bring self-discrimination into my life. I wouldn’t body-shame myself or chase artificial ideals that don’t fit me. I wouldn’t try to be someone else or shape my life around someone else’s path. I want to live as who I truly am. I will never adopt attitudes that make my life unhealthy. I will never falsely accuse someone of being a bad secret-keeper. I will never place someone’s problem on another person who has nothing to do with it.

Whispers of the Willow




When I gaze at the distant cotton buds,

They exude a unique beauty and embrace me in coziness.

The neon light adorning the village casts a comforting glow,

Children see in the cotton buds a fluffy pillow,

And their smiles brighten the scene.


As the neon light glides slowly,

I mistake it for a motor car fueled with petrol,

But as it moves, the white cotton cleanses our minds,

The dimpled buds smile warmly at me,

Creating a sense of togetherness and connection.


Every day, every moment I see you,

We draw closer, intertwining our souls.


Revised poem with added literary devices:


In the realm of distant cotton buds, I find,

A beauty unique, a cozy embrace, entwined.

Neon light, village's comforting lantern gleam,

Children dream of pillows in the cotton's gleam,

Their smiles illuminate, a radiant beam.


The languid neon light, a phantom car it seems,

Fueled with petrol, or so my mind deems,

Yet as it glides, the cotton's purity shines,

Mind cleansed, the dimples of buds, smiles align,

Weaving a tapestry of unity divine.


Every day, every hour, your presence I find,

Binding us closer, souls entwined.
