#3: Are you Ready? Your Gift Awaits...

Have you ever received a gift,

And you realized it was more of a nuisance than functional?

One such realization happened to me today.

But here, I was the one who had given the gift.

The gift of transparency and honesty.

I thrive on Openness.

It comes naturally to me.

But today, when I heard the same assurance, for the XXth time

Something told me to stop and see.

Behind his pretence to understand and change

Lay his discomfort with my gift.

It was not serving the purpose.

Holding a world within me away from him is new.

The thought of not being candid gives me imposter vibes.

It's a hard thing for me

So is seeing him struggle.

They say, "Everything has a time"

Hence, I will take back my gift, for now.

We are all walking in the same direction.

It's not a matter of "if"

But "when" he meets me,

To seek the gift again.

Until then, I dance in the joy,

Knowing that my gift, as precious as ever,

Lies safe and deep within me.
