My Tangled Hairs.

About the pain behind apparel beauty. How every metaphor is beautiful yet bearer feels the pain.

My Tangled Hairs.

Just like the leavender on,
My Tangled Hairs.
Beautiful in its own way
But beauty is painful
They say.

Pulling my hairs,
Strangled in bits.
Just like the turns and twists
In the pleats of my life.
Braided beautifully
Can't nobody see the pain,
They just say.

Purple streaks over the blonde haze,
Even when everything is clear
Within the maze.
The purple becomes invisible,
Only the green bits of happiness stays,
I pray.

Pray for the green in my life,
But as the sun strikes
And again I shine,
Beaming through every crack.
This is life that we just need to accept.

The green always glows,
But the leavender paves.

�" Anushka Joshi.

Yet another aesthetically pleasing poem. Keep writing my friend

I have found this in life, Aj.
Even when everything is clear, it is not.

the green glows...always seems greener on the other side of the fence,
and passion paves the way for heartbreak...and then we learn...
grass is the same on both sides of that fence.

Your poem is really very nice and deep, Anushka. Thanks for sharing. Keep writing and posting here!

[Anushka joshi]

Thank you so much. Your reviews just made my day. It's been long actually I've been through a lot of things here and there might be worse things in the world but it's just a lot going here in itself, so I wrote a lot but not really posted them here. Writing and dancing is my coping. But you gave me a new motivation to start Posting here again. Thank you.

[Devansh Shekhar Shukla]

You're welcome. Good to see that you started posting here again.

Using tangled hair as a metaphor is clever. Tangles are spiteful and can hurt but when teased out into the smooth can change the outlook all together. I like where my thoughts travelled here Anushka. Lavender, I find soothing and calming.

Kinda wanted to express the same feeling.... Nothing is beautiful nothing is ugly it's just the perspective. And second life has extremely ugly and beautiful sides .... It's totally on us how we want to live it .... It's practically tough but we can always do it our way.
Thanks.
Immense respect for your words.
