Real is Beautiful

 Real is Beautiful,

And it keeps me happy

Even when I

have a few pimples,

some acne scars,

bushy eyebrows, 

and multiple sunspots.

I don't lose my confidence because of any of these.

I am at total peace.

As they just reflect my age, I accept them all with grace.

I am totally comfortable in my skin.

No need for a no-makeup look effort

and the use of numerous filters.

No anxiety about not being noticed,

or crazy desire for likes from strangers.

Why should I be hiding that ?

which is natural and real.

Why should I be fake?

Being well-groomed makes sense,

But covering up my reality,

Would it not be like cheating myself?

I instead choose to accept all that is mine,

and improve upon to rise and shine.

Mistaken houses

Nowadays   Houses are mistaken for home The interior design is proudly outsourced What else can explain a ready-to-move-in home, we pay for Expect the walls in each room customized For every family member While talking away rights Of children to doodle on them Or an elders tremor staining them Don’t you feel such houses are based more on market trends rather than The likes and needs of family members When the house is more of a status symbol Rather than your own cosy private space When they are indicators of progress Of material possession that ranks a family in social space When they are bigger than your needs When they are filled with furniture Just bought to utilize space and not to be used The house that was supposed to be Occupied and turned into a home These days come decked up with Art on its wall that rarely represents people living in there Rather is an attempt to either intimidate others or to fit in a social class And the little art sculptures on the shelf Sadly have no memo
