Thoughts

a poem by Neha Sahni

Sometimes, it is okay, to be not okay
Sometimes, it is okay, to cry for nothing
Sometimes, it is okay, to laugh for nothing
Sometimes, it is okay, to act dumb
Sometimes, it is okay, to have fears
Sometimes, it is okay, to dream with open eyes

We don’t have to be productive all the time;
we don’t have to be thoughtful all the time;
we don’t have to be strong all the time;
we don’t have to apologize for thinking about ourselves.

We can speak about our failures,
our attempts towards anything that turned out unsuccessful.
We can speak about
our weakness, our shortcomings,
for the things that we have dreamt but couldn’t achieve.
Being vocal about our thoughts doesn’t sound being rude.

Life is not always about profits and losses, successes and failures.
It is more about our learnings,
our experiences and how we have lived them.
