The existence of one,
Often justifies another.
I sometimes face a writer’s block,
But it validates my existence as a writer.
An eighteen year old woman,
Carries sanitary napkins in transparent bags,
Because things are changing.
The twenty-four year old however,
Covers every inch of her thighs and cleavage,
Because things aren’t changing,
As fast as they should.
A boy aged fourteen is in the gym,
And every one is shocked and downhearted.
A seventeen year old boy has love handles,
He is fat-shamed.
You are facing a financial crisis,
Your money is now around your neck,
Instead of growing on a metaphorical tree,
But it validates your financial existence.
The existence of one,
Often, not always, justifies another.
A fifteen year old is cutting her wrists,
But not her veins,
So that she dies only a little.
Because this pain will help her forget,
A part of her life.
Bullshit.
A thirty year old is watching a television show,
And is late for work,
Because he doesn’t like his job,
And it isn’t working out anyway.
Bullshit.
I don’t tell her I love her,
She’ll see my chapped lips and hear my slurred speech,
Laugh like a devil disguised as an angel,
And say no.
She definitely won’t say yes, will she?
I am scared and so, reluctant.
Bullshit.
Often, not always.

Nice poetry Utsav!
Thank you so much!
wonderful read
Thank you!
Its really nice. Very stark.
Glad you liked it.
i was that 15 year old girl. Sad, remembering. Glad she has been put to rest, her with all her Bullshit. Good post.
Cutting is never the answer. Keep smiling!
This is so thoughtful …..the world is full of prejudices and it’s sad .
It really is. Thank you for reading!
My pleasure 😊
I’d like to see you more often in my comments section, Sakshi. It’s a pleasure hearing what you have to say.
Then I shall.make it a point to drop by ……….😊
Best news I’ve had today. Thank you, beautiful.
Haa haaa have a good day😊
The day is pretty much over. You have a great night! Keep smiling.
You too …stay blessed 😊
What’s really sad is that we actually believe our own bullshit, when it’s “often, not always” a deeper issue that we’re afraid to face. I’ll just air my dirty laundry for you and admit my battle is with addiction. It is the most surprisingly ridiculous how much bullshit I can make myself believe about why I can’t stay clean! Truth is, I don’t have the first clue as to why. It could be a different smelly pile of crap each time I rationalize why I go back to it. I like getting high. It’s really that simple. And the solution is just as simple… STOP! But I seem to like bullshit just as much as getting high. I should be so sick of the smell by now but apparently I need it to be smeared all over my face or something before I get it. I don’t know where I’m going with this but I hope it made sense to someone out there. ❤️❤️❤️
It did make sense. You’ll win this battle someday as long as you remember everything you’ve just said. All the best ❤
This is amazing
Thank you so much, Ananya.
When you love someone, tell them! You never know when that may be your last opportunity. An angel will see your soul beyond chapped lips or whatever you look like.
That’s true!
Don’t let any bullshit change what you obviously just said you know is truth…😉
The me in the poem, just like all the other characters in it, is fictitious. I make sure I tell the girl I like that I like her. 😏❤
I am highly willing to tackle negativity ( it increases!!), and it’s tricky but anyway, I am willing.
Situations are bad though, sleeveless and knee length shorts become omigosh-this-is-illegal at some places.
You hit at the right places, though.👍
That’s true. I hope things bet better. Thank you for reading!
They sure will. You are welcome.
Well Nice post Utsav.. ✨
The problem I’m willing to tackle is
relationship problem. Last week, one of my friend hurt me and I was really upset just bcz of her. I don’t know why i hurted may be it happen bcz i expect something form her and my expectations gone wrong. So, I’ll suggest you not to expect something from your frnds. Now a days, My thinking for people is that the people or may be our friends are pretending that they’re our frnd but in reality they’re something else. May be I’m wrong but this is what I feel.. 😞
So now I’m thinking of tackling it in a way that I’ll not hurt in future.
I’m making myself stronger than before.. 🙌
Thanks.. 😄
Thank you for reading, and keep smiling, beautiful. ❤
My pleasure..
You too.. 😇
All sad, and all true. The saddest part is people are willing to acknowledge it, but not do anything about it. All turn the other cheek. Thank you for sharing, maybe one day we’ll all inspire some change.
Thank you for reading.
Ohgosh this is beautiful work!🖤
Thank you so much, Shruti. Do check out my other posts and leave a comment there. I would love to hear more and more from you.
The existence of someone is the reason of non-existence of another..
Lovely
Thank you, Shantanu.
My pleasure

What is your blog about, in a broad sense?
As I write and piece together my book in progress I am going to put my chapters in here for people to read and comment on so I can tell whether or not what I’m writing is of a nice quality .. I also have some poetry and literature like short stories for people to read and hopefully enjoy 😊
Hope that answers your question
This seriously made me think, and just keep thinking about the society we live in
Thank you!

Nice peice of article
For two, maybe three, years I’ve been working — kindness, compassion, gratitude. Not there yet.
Good poem. Kept my interest . Liked the imagery.
Yet, ti’s curious how we so often refuse to risk rejection — curious, given how much we’ll suffer in later years that we never tried.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you for reading!
one of my favs so far
Yay thanks!
This is so good
And it pulls at my emotions
But that’s kind of the point
Thank you!
