BAGASSE

Bagasse is the fibrous waste of sugarcane after it is crushed and squeezed to extract its juice.
This is what we become when we crush ourselves because we LET others do so to us...

When we LET them direct our thoughts, our feelings and our actions because THEY want us to think a certain way, feel a certain way and act a certain way.

I have written this piece because I feel all of us somewhere have been through atleast a part of what I have written below...
If you have anything to add or subtract from it,
you are free to do so...you are free to be..


So what if my mind
wants me to shed tears,
It makes me feel more clear..

So what if my mind
wants me to feel hate,
It reminds me of the love thats missing from my fate..

So what if my mind
wants me to be sad all the time,
It makes me feel the happiness which is just to arrive..

So what if my mind
wants me to laugh out loud,
It makes my soul feel more proud..

So what if my mind
wants me to smile at strangers,
If this is what makes me feel more safer..

So what if my mind
wants me to raise my voice,
It makes me feel I have a choice..

So what if my mind
wants me to dance wild,
It makes my soul feel alive..

So what if my mind
wants me to make noise,
It makes me fill the big silent void..

So what if my mind
wants me to be open to all,
It makes me feel more light..
