About me

Hey! This is Riya, a 16 years old girl. I write poetry and I’m deeply in love with blue skies. Also, Sunsets have my heart. ✨

This is a poem titled “I Feel alive”

“I feel Alive”

You see a picture,
A picture of me,
Standing tall and straight,
With my chin up,
Looking towards the sky.
(Basically, away from reality. )
This is just for the sole purpose of knowing that now i have started to live life at it’s fullest.
But, by living away from reality,
Would i be considered alive?

You see a picture,
A picture of me,
Smiling in the most natural way one can,
Having nothing to be afraid of, to be stressed up of.
Because in the world away from reality all you see are your dreams coming true.

You see a picture,
A picture of me,
Energetic, enthusiastic, Funny me,
Me, Being a so-called happy kid.

But I wonder,
Do pictures really tell the truth?
Does the 16 years old watching the sky literally has forgotten reality?
The answer lies ahead…
Away from reality,
She had got thoughts of her own,
Thoughts that gives her the freedom she seeks,
Thoughts that gives her everything she desires for,
And also thoughts which makes her lost.
But no! She hasn’t forgotten reality,
She’s very well aware of it,
But now the happy kid has become afraid to face it.

I wonder,
Do the pictures really tell the truth?
Or do they also fake it like everyone else in this world?
The answer lies ahead…
Let me show you the real she,
The real she lies behind the thick patches of skin,
Behind this body, within the soul ;
It asks for nothing but mere attention.
It hopes and hopes that “they” are going to accept her in the reality,
For they say show who you really are
And let the society accept you for the real you.
But will the society accept the real she?
This fear makes her worry so she too fakes it like everyone elyse.

I wonder,
Do pictures really tell the truth,
Do they reflect what’s exactly there in the thing between my lungs moved a bit to the left,
The thing which is often referred to as heart.
Oh! And i have heard that this thing heart,
It carries emotions and feeling for others,
But do the people now have any feeling for others?
Do they care for anyone else other than themselves?
I wonder!

I wonder,
Do the pictures really tell the truth?
Or do they also hide secrets within them?
For i have seen people smiling and talking to each other,
And saying disguisting things about the same people to others.
For i have seen people saying they are loved by others,
But the same people struggling to be loved by themselves.
What has this world become?
I wonder!

But still,
You see a picture,
A picture of me,
Watching the sky,
And living life at it’s fullest,
Away from reality
And ofcourse!
I Feel Alive!
