When the mind wanders

When the mind wanders…#3

Drawing by me and a song beautifully written by Olivia Rodrigo. A fresh expression of Rose’s perspective in the classic ‘Beauty and the Beast‘.

All my life, I’ve seen myself through your eyes…
Wondering if I am good enough for your time…
You love me but for all the wrong reasons…
Am I something to you and not someone?
I feel trapped in this pedestal you put me on…
There must be someplace else where I belong…
So, I am done living my life just for you…
You watched me wither and now you watch me bloom…
You’re hiding in the dark but I’m reaching for the sun…
You think I’m beautiful but is that all you can fathom?
‘Cause I am more than what I am to you…
You say I’m pretty but I’ve got magic that you never knew…
And I won’t be confined to your point of view…
I’m breaking through the glass you put me in…
For a rose like me this might be the perfect sin…
But I am more than what I am to you…
You say I’m perfect but I’ve got thorns with my petals, too…
And I won’t be confined to your point of view…
I’m breaking through the glass you put me in…
‘Cause my beauty is from within…
My beauty is from within…

A painting by me.

The next time you see a flower ticking up out of the ground just remember part of what makes it so beautiful is how long it took to grow.

Colors – Lost in time

If you heart is good, don’t let the world elude you into thinking that you have to change something about you to be better received.

Saurav Roy

Open your eyes and have a look around,
Your world is on the verge of turning upside down.
Its time you move on and stop pretending,
The Hourglass doesn’t care for your happy ending.


You float inside the bubble of fairy tale,
Watching the signs of fading hope …
And fearing the fall of the final grain.


You cherish the Colors you have got,
Lived in denial for so long…
Without giving it a single thought.


As the time ticks, your heart races…
You want to escape but destiny chases.
Heart is heavy, sunken, powerless and weak…
Once was a chatterbox, now it might never speak.


The Dreams you ignore, the tears you conceal,
Falling short for words as the days fly by…
Don’t know how to describe what you feel.

Once the bubble bursts,
All your Colors will scatter in the ocean…
A few will move far away,
Others will just be lost in the commotion.


You know your colors are always special and bright…
They never look the same,
When taken out in different lights.
Try harder to find them and keep them close,
You know the only thing that truly define you…
Are the Beautiful Colors that you once chose!
