Follow the rules, and you would be fine,
Should be rhyming, at least a couple of lines,
We promise we'll fine the perfect match, a pic,
For your art, your thought, if you approve of it.

Life, A Perspective By Tanisha Varma

life

 

Do you ever just wonder what the purpose of your existence is? I do this a lot. I just sit in my room doing my homework, and then I wonder, am I ever going to become someone important doing this for the next 10 years of my life. Everyone is doing it, going to school, finishing assignments, graduating, going to college, and getting a job. Most people are content with this idea of a somewhat common, ordinary, and typical life. But I’m not. I want to do something that people will remember me for. I don’t want to just be an extra human being on the planet Earth and die one day. I want to be known, I want to set a legacy, and I want to be remembered for something I did, by myself with my hard work. 

Now I know this sounds like a cliche Disney movie where the protagonist is a peppy teenager who is about to go on their first day of school, but really, think about it. Do you want to be someone who goes to work just for that paycheck at the end of the month, or do you want to do something every single day, where you are actually content with what you are doing. Not just content as in living a comfortable life, but content as in having a true passion for what you do, and never getting tired or bored of it. For example, I love theatre and acting. Every time I watch a show or movie with an actor about my age or a little older, I do a whole report on them. Some of my google searches might include, for example (this was after I watched Stranger Things), “Millie Bobby Brown age,” “Millie Bobby Brown school,” “how did Millie Bobby Brown get the role of Eleven.” It just makes me curious that these people, about my age, are literally known by a lot of the world, and they get to have a life working on movies and something they are so passionate about. I know it sounds immature, but I challenge you, think about yourself, are you living a life filled with passion, or are you just… existing. 

 

With a perspective, I’m Tanisha Varma.

As for age..
 

They say age is just a number,
And that it must not come in between you and what you can do,
Whether that’s that extra mile you can run,
Or pick a hobby or a job completely new.
 
But there are so many numbers other than age that…

Travel, don't stop
I am traveling east with the wind,To a destination in the western Hemisphere,Guess I can travel South away from the cold,To be at the freezing North Pole.It doesn't matter how you travel,Which direction you travel,Whether you take…

Dearest Anika,Hope you have the best birthday ever,Because it is the sweet one a girl waits for,When she knows what she wants less and what more.
What will set you apart is what you want more,And knowing you we all know what that would be,More of…

What are these ugly yet lively creatures,
That croak and croak ominously,
While perched on the tree tops,
Swinging wildly in their ravenous success.
 
There seem to be many,
Each owning a tree top, one taller than the other,
Cawing wildly and…

The garden is smiling,
Under the azure sky and the crisp Sun,
But the corner that is the happiest,
Is the one where my Daisies come.
 
I know not of the tune they sing,
Or the hues that my eyes can’t see,
That float through the warm Spring breeze,…

No daffodils these,
But still so pretty,
Jolted me out of my reverie,
The inward eye of poetry.
 
Cajoled me to walk slow,
Take a long sip,
Gaze hard so the mind,
Surrendered to the eyes

Au revoir, until I see you again
I will make do with the radiant hues,
That blossom in your sets wake,
Or the moon that doth bask,
Relaying your presence in the dark,
Dancing with your merry friends,
Twinkling in the night till the very end,
Of the…

Ensconced in my cozy home,
News poured in about the virus,
Spreading more wildly than the fires,
That ravaged us and left us gasping
 
There is now a curfew out there,
No body move, travel or gather, they say,
Just stay home with the ones you live…

It was easy to look at the Sun,
A beautiful orange ball, at the Mid-day hour
Was not a secret anymore, looked ordinary from afar
The smoke that hid the Earth, exposed the Star
 
But it did remind me of the countless things,
That we forget to thank…

Like the birds which visit the feeder,
Flowers blossoming around me,
Nature clamoring for attention in trees,
Shedding and regaining their healthy leaves
 
Conspicuous, unnamed they exist, like you,
Completing me silently and with ease,
And when…

Gift Shop Bills: The Kid In Me Celebrates His Birthday
 
I woke up one year older,
Chiding the passage of time, against my will
When all at once I saw a bunch,
A host of loving gift shop bills.
In her pockets, in the cars trunk,
Fluttering and…
