Outwardly Gaze
Soul’s Speak
Looking at the world, infinitely
I forget that I, exist
I mix up the two so easily
I often fall into the trap of believing the seen
but there is a world of the unseen too
behind the success stories
the unsaid unseen stories of pain, neglect, and suffering remain
while the light is seen, in obvious ways
darkness hides in the crevices of smiles
or the dry moisture of countless eyes
getting lost in an external world
is easy, and requires no skill
but to go within
to go in,
will take all the will and stillness it takes
to sit with that pain, the grief, the sadness, the fear
will require me to surrender to the insecurity,
surrender to the flow of life!
I genuinely enjoy reading the authors below. I am sure you have read them in your time on Medium. Their writing is in sync with the flow of life and nature. Here we go:

(Whenever I have given up on things that make me happy, I know I am spiralling down mentally and emotionally. I read her here. It gives me so much oxygen I need. Such people are gifts to their younger peers. Thank you for this write-up Dr Preeti)
