🌷 Become A Better Person…
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

Unknowingly we carry lots of stuff 
Which overtime shapes us...

Let's choose carefully what we carry,
Every fear, hope, belief n memory...

Whatever we carry, it's building...
D person we're slowly becoming.

When we carry a heavy bag for so long,
That we stop noticing it's weight all along 

Only when we finally set it down, 
We realise tiredness of d burden... 

Our hearts often work d same way…
Unnecessary loads slow it's pace...

We often think that our life is shaped 
N yet difficult things need to be faced...

We're also shaped by d lot,
That we refuse to let go off...

Every person carries something secretly 
Like old wounds, as if happened recently 

They relive pain, they had felt before…
Until it’s a part of their identity-fixture…

Few others who carry regret…
Think they can not change…

Some people carry fear everywhere 
Fear tells that they'll suffer even in future 

N then d dreams R not for them…
Der R few who carry hope within them 

We hold onto changes as we see d world.
Our inner one will merge with outer World

If we hold onto resentment…
Kindness’ll become a suspicious moment 

If we hold onto fear…
All opening doors’d be like risky affair…

If we hold onto comparison…
Our happiest moments will lack passion 

If we hold onto gratitude’s feeling…
We’ll feel special, even ordinary morning 

If we hold onto curiosity…
Every person we meet will tell a story…

If we hold onto kindness,
We'll notice people's struggling phases 

Our heart is like a pair of hands..
It can only hold much-needed space…

Letting go is not always about forgetting.
Sometimes it is about accommodating…

Making room for peace when we’re upset 
Room for trust even if we're in distress…

Room for new hopes n dreams…
Although old ones have fallen apart since 

This does not happen at once.
All of a sudden nothing changes…

We become who we're little by little…
Through what we do every day bit-by-bit 

D hopes we keep alive…
When no one else can see inside…

Things we carry through time change us 
So let's choose carefully what One keeps 

We R not shaped by d roads we walk.
But by what‘s worth-while to talk…

Becoming isn't finding new within us…
It's about choice of what we keep with us 

Let's choose aptly with intentional action
N hold things to become a better person
