PAD Challenge Day 13 Poem: Confessions to Clear Confusions

PAD day 13 challenge is, yeah! we have reached  the day 13, 'confessions'. Today, I am sharing my feelings about ideal friendship. 

Nowadays, because of extensive use of the social media and messenger services, we all now have the freedom to express our political  opinions. Political parties are also using these platforms to reach out more and more people. 

The negative aspect of this is that our friendships are getting affected. I remember, some years back when we didn't have Facebook or Twitter, friendships and relationships were safer and closer. People used to support BJP or Congress or any other political party, but that wasn't a issue in their friendship. It pains me deeply to see how we have lost those days. 

And, the fanaticism and bitterness isn't just limited to politics or religion, now it has taken the worse mode, may it be about films, about following celebrities, about cricket or may it just be any unimportant issue. Bitterness has harmed the friendships. I closed my personal Facebook profile, for this very reason, this intolerance towards differing views of our own friends.  

thought to confess something

though you didn’t ask

questions bothering your mind

hesitating? let me tell you

some confessions to clear your confusions

my opinions, my beliefs and  lifestyle

may surprise you

my thoughts, my poems

may make you question

you have frames in your mind

trying to find the right for me?

you are not alone

most of us do the same

labels taught by the society,

our experiences and our mind

you want to give one of them for me?

which will be the right fit?

for me?

confused?

forget frames and stereotypes

look at the sky

i am there

right wing, left wing and the center

you can’t find me precisely in any one of them

my thoughts and beliefs have wings

for my nation

for compassion

for humanity

politics, lifestyle, or work style

thoughts get rotten

if not modified and questioned

validation is must

for me

for the betterment of my life

for the betterment of my country

for the betterment of this world

i am like a river

fresh amiable thoughts for

fair play

not a blind follower of anybody

yes! i follow my heart and my brain

which raises questions! 

yes! i am a freethinker

isn’t that also a label?

i am beyond it!

my agreement or disagreement

with you

won’t affect our friendship

i may argue with you

but that’s not the war of ego for me

friendship doesn’t have ego battle!

i respect you and your thoughts

and that’s what i like

in friendship

i love debates

but not at the cost of friendship

my confession today is

let’s be best friends

for friendship 

be yourself i love it

i am without any mask on my face

you’ll love it

let’s respect each other

true to oneself

let’s cherish our friendship

for the honor of friendship
