To be an artist you don't have to compose music or paint or be in the movies or write books. It's just a way of living.
It has to do with paying attention, remembering, filtering what you see, and answering back, participating in life. -

"If you Write,
Don't be afraid to call yourself a writer.
Professional writers
Amateur writers
Part-time writers
Published writers
Unpublished writers
Writers doing it for themselves
All of them have one thing in common,
They're WRITERS."

Ofc temporary.
If sleep is death being shy then what's waking up?
Waking up is atoms being miraculous.And you were there to reduce my pain,
But all I gained are these heavy weights in my brain.
Everything is washed away by the rain,
The only things remaining are the shreds of our memories we made.
How to slow down, I don't know.
My back is heavy with all these arrows they targeted.
Black and blues are the only colours I know.
Everything is affordable, but your absence isn't.
To elevate my own ways, ready I am.
To feel you in every deepest part of me
Is my privilege, to carry your cologne in
My veins is the scar that is embedded deep
In the hollow tissues of mine.
Feeling pain, feeling better, feeling loved are all temporary things,
Sadness is permanent. Permanent is soul. Soul is indestructible. Indestructible is you?

Read MoreD'ya have a headache?
Maybe you should pop a paracetamol.
Have you been feeling hungry?
Maybe you should try something delicious.
Have you been feeling dejected lately?
Maybe you should get some needed help.
Have you been sick of the world, altogether?
Maybe you should sleep it all out.
And if you've been feeling all four?
Maybe you should read a poem, first!

GUYS, WE'RE HERE; AND IT'S OFFICIAL!
Before we start telling you the criteria and the structure for posting and reposting content, we'd like to give a little backstory to our page name first.
We suck at naming things and we're not at all shy to admit it. After loads and loads of experimenting with Greek-Irish-Japanese Pinterest-worthy words, and failing to give 'em our kinda meaning to it; we wanted something simple and elegant. Maybe with a punch of humour. We moved on to recalling book references, our favourite songs and movies for inspiration, anything that'd give us an edge. Alas, we'd suddenly forgotten all the books and movies and songs we'd ever loved. Relatable, right?
Yep, we laughed on our helplessness too.
In just a matter of seconds, our frenzy thought process went like --
"oh oh think of a book name"
to
"idk man��"
then
"oh oh what book are you currently reading rn" to
"oh oh it's 'Maybe You Should Talk To Someone' by Lori Gottlieb"
then directly to
"is 'maybeyoushouldreadapoem' is a good enough name"
We took a second each,
and chuckled a little louder in realization.
It hit.
Humour, sass, sweetness, and most importantly, a very good piece of advice!
~
We absolutely love it. What about you guys?
•••
Coming to the what happens on the page, we'd love being transparent. Here's how each thing would go:
CRITERIA: As mentioned already in (@hayat_'s) most recent post;
Structurally, none at all! Prose, poetry, stories. However long or short. (If it's a story in parts, it can be nominated after it's been entirely completed).
Anything and everything that's creative/fresh/insightful/original/witty/has good imagery etc etc qualifies!
In no way does it have to be popular enough, or concentrated around hot-topics only. The idea is to give a platform that appreciates quality content, without any other qualifiers.
We'd love all the help we can get so we'd really appreciate if y'all will take time and tag us in pieces you think are good enough.
NOTE: The tags do not have to be only on new or most recent pieces. Go ahead and pick up your favourites, however old or new and let us know which ones they are. We'd be more than happy to read and share them.
Go easy on us though since mirakee notifications can be accommodated only upto a limit. So be selective. Tag us only on the ones you really think are good.
HOW IT'LL WORK:
Just so everything plays fair, we've divided the content we'd read in two parts--
1. The tagged content.
2. Individually explored content.
Both of us will alternate reading content between those two sections, meaning one day it's Srishti (@thegreymetaphor)'s turn to read the tagged content and Hayat (@hayat_)'s to explore individually; the next day, vice versa).
In the end one of the two pieces will be chosen to go on the Instagram page.
The other piece, you ask? 'cause it'll be no less awesome right?!
We'll repost it here from our (@maybeyoushouldreadapoem) Mirakee account so it's more accessible for everyone to read, and also post a screenshot of it on our insta story.
We'd put up both the Mirakee and Insta usernames of the Writers in our insta stories and posts, so they get their due recognition and appreciation! Please make an effort to appreciate both the pieces, won't ya?
•••
The posting and reposting time on Insta and Mirakee, respectively, would be around 4-5 PM IST.
Also, since we prioritize consent, the reads of today will be posted tomorrow, so that both of us, the readers and the writers of the pieces, have an adequate 24 hour period to ask for consent and respond. And in a case where somebody would be unwilling for whatever reasons, no questions asked; for us to read some more and look for another.
•••
Feel absolutely free to drop us any queries, suggestions, feedback, anything in the comment section. We'll make sure we answer each one of you, we promise.
Thankyou, really, for all the love and trust you selflessly bestow on us, can you see us crying through the screens? Trust me, we are. :''))
Your very own Pastel Ladies,
Srishti (@thegreymetaphor)
Hayat (@hayat_)
•••
If you can, tag your acquaintances in the comments below, we'd genuinely appreciate you spreading the word.
We hope you guys help us build the same community spirit on Instagram, too. Our Instagram handle link will always be in our bio. :).

Read MoreYour arrival in my life
Was a miracle
The drug I've been avoiding
I soaked up its every chemical
I was okay with staying in dark
I was okay with bearing this bearable pain
Keeping in my chest my heart with cracks
Somehow I was living
Knowing everything is going in vain
Giving up every hope but all the love I have, still giving
But you came
Took my half healed heart and crushed it
Like a pro you played this game
You played cool but you're worse than the quit
You treated my precious hear like a trash
Like Crushing my heart wasn't enough
You ignited it turning it into ash
Smirked devilishly blew it with a puff

#my_own_words #so_called_poetess #writerstag #poetry #writer #you @writersabodeAnd mi amore
In this damned dark world of mine
You came like the sun
But for a while
So bright and gleamy
You made me rise and shine
And then you set
And never came back
Leaving behind my world dour
With blood moon
And gloomy me
Taking the day, light and warmth
Leaving here a cold night which is not leaving even after I pleaded

You must be loving her
As you're saying
Aren't you ashamed of being a lier
When you said this to me
Being so proud here
May be you must be
She must be precious to you
As you're saying
As you've said this to few
Aren't you ashamed of deceiving
May be you aren't
Cause there is nothing new
You must be the one to enjoy
As you're saying
Cause all other girls to you are toys
And on your mask she's trusting
In the way of giving her the joy
All of the other girls you're destroying

Conversational poem is a genre of poetry mostly associated with S.T Coleridge. These poems are written in free verse often mentioning a real event from poet's life. The memory is then given a philosophical dimension and an acceptance is achieved at the end.
Thus, conversational poem is a form of self talk to make peace with the past.
--Get creative, draw an incident from your past and write a conversational poem--

Read MoreHow lovely must it be
that I have the liberty
to seek my own way
and make my own mistakes
safe in the knowledge
that you have forgiveness
seared into every corner
of your infinitely kind heart.
How lovely are the words
that breathe life into
a sunrise, the words
which form the flesh
and bone of a song
the words which don't
make it to the page
yet make you cry.
How lovely is the pause
that split second of silence
the beats of your heart
that shadow at the door
before the chaos breaks out
and screams rent the air
and you think of a child
who showed you love
and taught you to care.

Read More// a step by step manual on self forgiveness //
Step 1 : Close the door of your room , dim the lights , put on music that makes sense only to you, choose loud soulful music though , one that does not shy away from declaring its beauty , and dance . You feel clumsy ? Dance a little more , you feel unsure? Move a little deeper into the music. Not a fan of dancing? Try it anyway , you body is heavy walking with the weight of the world constantly on its self , so let your body know that you give it the freedom to move to the music of your choice for once and not the noise of the society.
Step 2 : sweating , panting , out of breath ? But you feel something else too isn't it? That loud bang of your heartbeat , fast like the train that knows its destination. Listen to it, just listen to it. It beats for you still , without you asking it to.
Step 3 : heart calmed, sitting on the floor of your dark room , music still blaring , cry , cry , cry
I mean it. Cry. So fully and so bravely that you seek salvation itself through these brave tears.
Step 4 : doubts surface , insecurities bubble up , hope subdues , everything even light seem bleak , let it all be there with you for a while and give it permission to leave your spirit without offering a fight because you have decided after way too long to love the soft life that you are , love and respect it enough to not cause harm to yourself by fighting with your self.
Step 5 : light,light and just light? Your light heart suddenly feels unfamiliar without its burden , embrace the feeling , embrace it knowing that forgiveness is not something you are offering yourself because you deserve it alone but because forgiveness is something that will let you do justice to the very breath of your life.
Step 6 : sleep, not desperate for dreams to take you away from the story of your life. Sleep because you can write a better more beautiful story for yourself tomorrow
Step 6 : wake up, wake up not because you have to .
Wake up because you want to.
Step 7 : look into the eyes of that person staring back at you from the mirror , look without guilt, look without judgement , and reassure that person that the scars and wounds have served a beautiful purpose.
They have taught you the art of going to war with yourself time and again and walking out of it ,
Choosing peace .
Peace and forgiveness alone.
Step 8 : repeat , cause you are too magnificent a piece of creation to not be put to test by life, over and over again until you become so strong that life stands in awe with who you have sculpted out of your raw self.
Step 9 : don't take the steps too seriously , follow it with a hint of madness and a whole load of faith in yourself of reaching the light at the end of the tunnel.
Step 10: forgiveness is not easy , so keep the manual safe until you see that forgiveness is not a choice but your duty to your own beautiful heart.
