Upswing

It's been a long while since I felt so light
It's good to look over at the other side

Floating in my own pessimism
I felt so dull and bogged down

But I've begun to suck it up
And think straight again

Reflecting on the recent times
On things I thought and wrote about

I was amused by the time I wasted
In being disappointed with myself

But even when I went through it
I knew it was only a passing phase

The trough in a person's
Normal, hormone-driven life

I'm not yet sure whether
The bottom has passed by

But it seems like I'm seeing
Through better eyes already

This is simply an effort
To depict the changing phase

Because it's boring to visit the past
And see depression written all over the place

Sigh!

Finally, I'm done with posting all the verses I wrote so far
...wrote 70 of them in a span of 10 years!
Most of these are responses to / descriptions of events in my life.
At times, I feel that I have used all the words I know, in all possible combinations.
But I continue to surprise myself with each new composition.
I hope the source, from where these things flow, continues to help me channelize my energies / emotions.

Phew! I'm done for the day.

I've uploaded 40 out of 65+ of my poems/verses and I cannot do any more right now.
The plan was to put all my work in one place in one night, but I'm already too tired.
My back is hurting and my neck is gonna break and my nose is still recovering, so my dear bed, here I come...
Oh, BTW forgive me for all those English versions of my Hindi poems, I didn't have a choice at the moment. I might upload some JPEGs and remove these horrible things as soon as I can.
