“No storm is meant to pull you down
it merely asks, will you rise or frown?
What you hold with poise and grace,
never grows into a tangled place.”

Beats of joy, beats of strife,
Rhythms lost, then found in life.
Soft and steady, loud and free,
Life drums on, its a melody
Simi.

She leads with fire, yet bows with grace,
A force of will, yet soft embrace.
She speaks her dreams, a voice so true,
Yet holds the world with care anew.
She dares to stand where few have tread,
Yet finds her peace in paths well-spread.
She rises high, yet stoops to mend,
Not to defeat, but to ascend.
She lives within, in quiet delight,
Yet lends her ear to silent plight.
A storm, a whisper, fierce yet kind,
A soul untamed, yet well-refined.

What is one question you hate to be asked? Explain.
“Don’t you feel you’ve wasted time?” they say,
But caring and giving never betray.
The time I have given is woven with care,
In souls I’ve shaped, my echoes are there.”
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?
My life is a tapestry, woven with fire,
Threads of love, duty, and endless desire.
Not one to wait, nor stand aside,
I live my passion, my heart, my guide.”

Adorned with her invisible crown she walked through the dark clouds,
Fear of failure, she had none.
With deliberation she chose the path of truth and perseverance,
She was a queen who always won

She rose above them all,
Above the blues, which weighed her down.
The crimson splendour embraced her with joy, as the branch gently caressed her.
Her efforts were truly worth a beautiful crown.

I knew IT was there,
all I had to do was open the door.
But my crazy mind grumbled, "Why exactly do you want to struggle more?"
I laughed and moved on because I wanted to ignore my mind.
If you pay attention to everything it says, you will fall far behind.
The door opened and it was right there smiling warmly at me.
"You are the winner," it said, "and I am the OPPORTUNITY."
Simi

They hide behind the darker shades,
Camouflage with the situations and circumstances.
The eyes that perceive them gleam with bliss,
‘Cause they are the opportunities, the golden chances.

Amalgamating with the environment and situations that happened to happen,
Tides of time propelled me up and down,
Ceaselessly the winds have caressed me throughout the voyage,,
Never did I ever feel adrift; in fact I have been a queen, always held my crown.
Yes, at times I have been surrounded by crowds, known or unknown,
When the waves were rough, I was abandoned too,
But moments of despair never existed,I must say,
IF YOU ARE IN QUEST OF LIFE, YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN AND YOU ARE THE CREW.
Fear of losing has never dispirited me,
Never have I ever lost the same battle again,
I choose to learn each time I stumble,
I guess no rainbows appear in the absence of rain.
Excuses, explanations and regrets, have never been a part of my itinerary,
Else the ride becomes arduous and upstream as one moves on,
Walking through the circumstances has enriched me manyfold,
It’s my life, so with my choices I love to adorn. !!.
