An Act of cowardice?

I for one, used to believe that
Suicide was an act of cowardice
By someone not brave enough to face the world
Or brave enough to face consequences of an act

Slowly, I began to feel that it could be
A state of mind, where others see doors
While one sees just walls

It is not about the world view anymore
It is just about what one sees in the mirror

Mental well being can’t be stressed enough
And While I have nothing against visiting
 A psychiatrist or the cooler term ‘therapist’
For I have also used their services

Just like physical pain, the recovery path
Is outside the clinic.
Make use of the prescription, apply it well
But remember, just like in case of physical well being
Prevention is better than cure

We live in a world where happiness is
No longer a state of mind
It is an industry
Be conscious of what we are pursuing
Happiness or greed masquerading as happiness

instagram shows the choicest of foods savoured
Not the instakilograms It builds

Facebook may show the best vacations
Not the emi calculator

There may be times when we choose to introspect,but
Let each of us be conscious of whether
We are choosing to be aloof, alone or lonely

Conformity and compliance builds reverence
But they are not great ingredients for building memories
Sometimes, a bit of cheekiness, happy over right
Will help one live as a character, though not entirely in character

If there is one thing that will make you sleep
As soon as you hit the bed
If there is one thing that will Wake you up
Without a snooze on the alarm clock

You are here to stay
You are here to thrive
You are here to live

Outsourcing acceptance

When even a film producer refuses to see the film
Through the eyes of the critics
Why do parents choose to see their children through the lens of the society
At the time of holding the baby for the first time
All that matters is that connection
Between the parent and the child
Till the relatives and friends around
Start the guessing game
"The baby looks more like dad or mom?"
Well, the baby looks 100% like itself.
And when as parent there is no patience
To understand the child for what he or she is
Comparisons provide the easy way out
Doesn't matter the duration of the game
Doesn't matter even if the kids are playing different sports
Doesn't matter what arenas they choose
The easiest way out is to find the least common multiple
And compare and contrast
If the child is looking forward to
" i am proud of you" more than
"I love you" , time for a course correction
