Dilemma - A Poem

Holding on wasn't easy, neither was letting go,
But what broke my heart like an inflated balloon was that what you always put first was your ego.

Saying yes wasn't easy, neither was saying no,
But what made the question worthless
was that he just maintained my status quo.

Loving you wasn't easy, neither was hating you,
But what made me fall for you so hard
Was that you stood by me when things turned blue..

Freedom wasn't easy, neither was prison,
But what made the difference pointless to me
Was that, without you, either was treason..

Gentleness wasn't easy, neither wasn being harsh
But what mattered the most at the moment
Was to get the point across..

Success wasn't easy, neither was failure,
But what motivated me to give my best regardless
Was that you would stay by me at end of it all..

Today wasn't be easy, neither will be tomorrow,
But what makes us treasure our lives
Is the fact that the time we have isn't ours but what we borrow..

  Reading List 2021: Through the Eyes of a Forgotten Bibliophile by Avileena Dutta “ A first reading is something special, like first love.” –Graham Greene. It surely was, for me. When I first laid my hands on the evergreen literary masterpiece, Harry Potter, I fell in love with reading. And consequently, I delved deeper and deeper into the world of reading, finding solace, inspiration, and entertainment inside it. Although I wrote my first poem in grade two and have been a reader ever since I remember existing, it was when I read Harry Potter I truly found myself entering through the doors that led to a world of magic, letters, and meanings; the world of bibliophiles. But it all came to a screeching halt three years later, as I started to focus on boards, the pandemic, doing other things. And gradually and knowingly, I forgot about books. The role they played in my life, their magic, their importance. My shelves remained lonely, coated in dust and longing, while I moved on with my lif

 Title- Unleashed: Fae Shifters 2 Author- Madilynn Dale Ratings- ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review- Unleashed is the second installment in the Fae Shifters series which continues the story after book one titled Releasing The Power Within. Madilynn Dale comes back with a very powerful and interesting return for the storyline.  It is fantasy novel that follows Liz through her journey as her life changes from a normal girl to a person with super natural powers.  I loved the way Madilynn has explored the magical fae world. It was very engrossing and engaging. The manner in which characters are developed sometimes shows that some work needs to be done but other things are quite good. The tale is masterfully woven and showcases an exquisite story. As it is not a standalone book, it is advised that one reads the first book in the series.  I found the plot interesting enough that I finished it in just two days. If you're looking for something interesting and short to read over the weekend, you can try this one
