Woh bhi jeena chahti hein!

Woh bhi jeena chahti hein
udti patang si woh
hawa mein udna chahti hein

chanchal si, pagli si woh
ban titli, jeewan ka har rass
peena chahti hein

gudiaa si alhad naadan woh
khul ke jeena chaahti hein
haa... woh bhi jeena chahti hein

zinda hein woh aaj bhi par
jeewan uska neeras hein
ho gayi ek bhool jo usse
jeewan uskaa bebas hein

apno ki hi beedh mein
anjaani begaani si
jeeti to hein har din woh
par har pal marti rehti hein

budhu ban woh pagli si
har baar behak jaati hein
apno ki talaash mein
gaero se takraati hein

umeedo se bhari woh
naaumeedi se bhar jaati hein
fir kisi apne se bhichad
parayi si reh jaati hein

bin paani ki machli si
tanhaayi se ghabraati hein
jab bhi milta saath koi
deewani si ho jaati hein

woh kya jaane naadan
woh samajh nahi kuch paati hein
baar baar har bar kisi
patthar se takrati hein

bebas aur neeras si
bejaan but ban jaati hein
khilte khilte uske dil ki
har pankhuri murjha jaati hein

woh bhi jeena chahti hein
khul k hasnaa chahti hein
dhoka khaati ladkhadati
woh fir sambhalna chahti hein

Haa.... woh bhi jeena chahti hein....

"Unloved, Not Unworthy"

Married at 21, divorced at 26— No honeymoon, no couple’s dance, no romantic fix. Never held hands on a journey afar, Never wished on a shared shooting star. Seventeen years without love's grace, Eleven alone—just empty space. I’m 43 now, the world moves on, But my heart still aches where dreams are gone. Fake smiles, false hopes, love betrayed, Used, discarded, quietly decayed. Yet here I stand, still breathing pain— Longing for love, yet left in the rain. If you feel this too—know this is true: You are not unlovable. The world just failed you. _Pooja Agarwal_ _1st July 2025_

"I"

Image
I am in progress... With time I have accepted and understood the reality that some people don't come to me because they care for me or like me, they only come to me because they see me as someone who is... "Vulnerable" | "a flesh" |  "a divorced woman" | "living alone" | "have no one" But I CANNOT be defined in these categories... I am MUCH MORE than this, A LOT more, than one can IMAGINE.  I am a strong person who definitely get hurts but rise and shine again.  I may cry every night but I will wake up next morning with a smile and hope.  I may be broken and alone inside, but I have the courage to make others smile. I still believe in love, no matter I have been judged for being caring, sweet, innocent and loving. I know, I have been hurt, betrayed and disowned a million times by people who were once part of me. But I won't give up, because I am a Phoenix !

THEY Are the people who destroyed a pure soul and now call her "such girls". THEY are, the so called part of this society. -Pooja Agarwal Jan. 31st, 2025
