She Scribbles

Land of unspoken promises Lasting of twelve years Exposed to a whirlwind of experiences and theories Education: the system teaching what extraordinary people unanimously believed in  strongly enough to impart or was it the acquisition of knowledge and beliefs? Unsure of what has been the greater achievement Understanding and imbibing books as if they were scriptures Or the significant increase in being able to identify what is societally acceptable Overwhelmed by being able to embrace yourself; soul, skin and not boxed in Had it been a less treacherous path Heaviness in my heart, there is no regret in what I hath Bemused by all these exceptionally unseen eventualities Basking in the profits of late nights, sweat and tears of the tough grind Inside and out; insecurities and scars I learn; do not judge based on the difference- varied in sins, flaws lined out, it is ours Never did I realise; I can mould myself into whatever outline and shape Neg...

Hello all!  Throughout the year, a lot has changed. We tend to change every day as change is growth.  I believe we grow every single day. As the first week of the new year has passed,  I have compiled 16 things that were taught to me in 2016. I hope you relate or maybe even realise, through this post. The new year is filled with new lessons, new opportunities and a fresh chance to be able to do all that you have wished to and I hope you achieve exactly that.  Happy Reading :) -- (1) Being selfless is always a great quality to admire. Sometimes,  being selfish  (not to the extent to what the word implies) is necessary.  Just like how  sense&sensibilty go hand-in-hand, I believe that  being  selfish&selfess are complementary. (2) People are not permanent. WARNING: And this is okay! Whether you are a student, daughter, friend, worker or whichever role you play in the society, we all grow. Maybe we grow apart, outg...

Page 1 of 365 At the approach of a new year, it’s a new slate, all things good for us to gain As one that waits for none; a loophole of time, a new opportunity in the form of a new year is here again. 365 days to evolve and progress, a new leaf to sprout in you For you to improve, grow and always stay true. Trudging up to the edge of 2016; into the new year, diving headfirst, With lessons and memories; for a life of knowledge, in me is a thirst. I will remember after this long and event-filled year, not to lash But realise to spread love like I own an endless stash Ignorance may be bliss but in life- this bubble of hard-hitting reality, Take a vow to be a better version; make the world yours, step by step readily. Here is your chance, beautiful soul Every regret and mistake; reminisce in how strong you’ve become, don’t let it take a toll The past is the past Do not postpone, make your worth here last Let’s work on our resolutions, face...

"  With red and white smeared on my cheek,    it's December, the weather, not too bleak    I'm proud to reminisce in my life over here, how proud I feel to say,    the most auspicious celebration of the land, it's our National Day.   I may not be marked as Bahraini on my passport   but it's seared into my blood, born and raised; to any disagreement, I will not resort.   More than enthusiastic to see the fireworks colour the sky   As the thought of leaving this island comes to mind, I don't think I will want to say goodbye.   This homely and unifying island may be a dot on the map   but in my mind and heart, it means a million times more than that   An Indian in the Gulf, I know I am not just one   Thank you Bahrain for taking us in, making us feel at home.   I am more than enthused to whizz past streaks of red and white lined with the palm trees   parked by the pavement. sitting on the ...

Hello dear readers! Happy Holidays to all the gulf babies like me. Finally school has closed and because of that, I miss my friends and meeting them everyday. This piece is dedicated to all my friends that impacted me and still do. I decided to add a little twist by expressing it in a new perspective.  -- Mercury As small as you are, you played the foundation for me to make friendships. You were the first one to teach me that there was more to see than just the surface and I came to see that you weren’t the only planet in the solar system. Just the first and the one that burned out the quickest. Venus You are so full of love, yet I can see the pain you hide inside. I am so sorry that you don’t get the love you give. People treat you so selfishly. But you made me appreciate affection because that is after all what attracted me to you. Earth Thank you for keeping me sane and humane in this chaotic life story. You are a blessing and the most down-to-earth friend...
