  • Empathy’s Weight

    Empathy’s Weight

    I can feel your pain,
    Whispered in my bones.
    Your struggles are now mine,
    An unmentioned burden that I bear silently.

    Every story told to me,
    Every tear I see shed,
    My heart is weighted down,
    A storehouse of sorrows.

    As understanding deepens,
    So does sadness grow.
    It is a strange bond:
    The nearer I get, the more I hurt.

    Yet, through this hurt comes a revelation:
    Life does not issue blame,
    Only learning etched into experience.

    We stumble and we fall
    And then stand up again
    Every mistake is a teacher
    Each sorrow is our guide

    No villains, they say in the allegory of human experience
    There are only students
    There is no failing again

    But if I must bear
    The load of a thousand lives
    For I can endure knowing:
    This is a school where we are all pupils
    This is school where all of us are learners
    But let me tell you something –
    This place is a memorable and beautiful college

  • Humble Pursuit

    Humble Pursuit

    Egos we bend,
    And preconceptions are set aside,
    We bow down,
    To find the truth
    And see the light.

    Stiff minds break,
    While Soft thoughts flow like water.
    In a quiet surrender,
    Wisdom whispers.

    Our sure things are sand castles,
    Washed away by new knowledge tides.
    Empty hands, open hearts,
    Make room to grow.

    Truth’s not a thing to hold,
    But an expanding horizon.
    As we drop heavy guesses,
    Our steps get light, quick.

    To see clear, we first say
    Our sight has limits.
    When we know we’re blind,
    We start to really see.

    The light we want often hides
    In the dark of what we think we know.
    Only when we dare ask
    Do we light our way.
