Holding Hands
Enough
The expensive Beauty products
Cover my dresser
To transform me into a swan
Jeer at me that
I have always been
an ugly duckling;
That ‘I’ am not enough.

Queen that is You
Get a Pedicure done by a pro,
Sitting at your feet,
Pampering your ego,
A reminder of the Queen in You.

The Yearning

As I made sand castles.
I wondered,
If I’ll find a pearl inside.
The shell sits on my desk
Unopened,
Because I am afraid to lose hope.
