Veil of Ignorance (Poetry #3)
It’s all a facade, disrespected as she was flawed, became a convenient lightning rod, she thought it was odd, as everyone there believed in God, yet worried about that one fake applaud, her loved ones were in a quad, she waited for the final nod, fled with courage free from that squad, gracefully removed her …

ECSTATICALLY SINGLE!
Wedding = Happiness but Divorce = Sadness Why do we have this preconceived notion about these two words in our minds? Why do people have sympathy in their eyes when they look at a divorcee? Why does everyone think that it’s the end of the world? I don’t want your pity, I don’t want your …

The other day one of my relatives said “BAD LUCK” after hearing the news of my separation. I was flabbergasted after hearing the reaction. That led me into an ocean of thoughts.
