Why???

 Why couldn't you stop trying to prove your worth...

How come you let your plight the reason for his mirth...

Why couldn't you love yourself in the first place and not him...

How many times did you give one 'last' chance to his whim

Living under a pretense that he is Mr. Right...

Which love did you feel when it was nowhere in sight 

Why couldn't you understand the futility of this all

Why not consider mighty rise after this facile fall

Promise to my children

 My pride will never lie in the grades you get. I will keep my head high for you, whether or not success is met. I will never worry about winning whenever you set out to play… Only my prayers, not my ego, will stand in your way. You coming out with flying colours is not what makes my world bright. It is you — and your happiness — that makes everything so right. ❤️❤️** — Amita Joshi

Made up lies

 She proclaimed his praise to feel a little special herself…..
