Safe Haven

Is it possible to have complete transparency in a relationship? It can be any relation love, friendship, family anything. Can we be completely honest with atleast one person always, except maybe ourselves? Or is it too difficult? Do we feel vulnerable? Do we feel too naked while expressing everything what we have in mind?

I feel there should be someone besides me, with whom I Don't feel judged if I say anything, if I talk what I have in mind. That person will be my "safe Haven".

I would love to become somebody's safe Haven, somebody's Refuge. But as it turns out it is rather difficult task. It is next to impossible to make someone trust you so much, to consider you his/her Refuge.

No matter what you do, there'd be something which will hold the person back. Even if you bare your soul to them, will they do the same??

Pieces 2

You were surprised today. You felt something was different. You couldn't point it out. You were looking for the reason around you. You were very close to it but you couldn't figure out. She didn't smile today. She didn't laugh the way she has been all these days, for others. She did it for herself. She didn't try to cheer up just because people needed her to be happy. She was engrossed in herself today. There was no twinkle in her eyes yet there was a spark. She didn't have a bounce in her steps rather a grace. She wasn't bubbling with enthusiasm, she had a serene calmness on her face. She didn't try to sound cheerful, yet her voice was happy.

This is a new HER. The one you don't know because she put back her PIECES differently.

Pieces..!

She gets up everyday, gathers her pieces, puts them back together, pastes the smile back, tries to bring the twinkle in eyes and gets ready to face the world.

They call her brave, strong, sometimes even practical but they don't know what she goes through to be all of that everyday.

For every smile she fakes during the day,she cries a silent tear at the night. These are the times when she allows herself to feel everything, she lets the tears flow, she lets the feelings overcome her, she removes the mask oof strength she otherwise keeps on and she becomes one with herself.

The pieces break slowly and she drifts away into the darkness only to wake up the next day to gather herself back, paste the smile, brings the twinkle back and gets ready to start the day...
