Melancholic thoughts fill Christmas,
each and every passing year.
Carols play in every business,
attempting to provoke cheers.
Part of me feels so excited,
witnessing the twinkling lights,
other pieces feel divided,
witnessing greed in plain sight.
Search inside to find the answers
that can ease this holiday,
see all smiles as true enhancers,
maybe this could make joys stay.
In a world with so much ugly,
try to enjoy this one day.
Cozy up, peaceful and snugly,
celebrate in my own way.

I can relate to this piece…beautifully expressed…I feel, I’ve reached to a stage where I can’t relate to any labels…yeah it’s a beautiful & a holy day…but isn’t every single day beautiful, holy & special…b’day, Christmas, mother’s / father’s day, Diwali…awareness day, mental health day etc etc…even the death day…aren’t they all deep within…so let’s celebrate every single day β¨πβ¨π
