I wish someone could hold me
Without any judgement and biased rays
Just when I feel tired
When I get overburdened
When I push everyone away
I wish someone could just say
'it's okay' in the midst of that darkness
Fading me away from everything
I wish I had someone to lean over
Someone to capture me without any disgrace
I don't know if I need someone
But I want someone at least to keep me safe
To make me laugh in the harsh times
To make me feel alive when I feel to die
As I wish, as I hope, as I believe
One day someone for sure
When I lend my hand towards
When I come forward
I wish someone could stare deep within me
In the depths I don't let anyone through
The pain drawn beneath
Hidden and concealed dramatically
Like someone could just show up for me
When my anger is uncontrollable
The rage within is unbearable
I wish someone could just sit beside
And feel the essence of my breaths
I hold inside,
Like a shower of storms
underlying under the front-end
of silence and calm
Gunjan Bhojwani

I am a writer, mother, and believer in the power of real, raw stories. I use words to create space for empathy, connection, and unfiltered conversations around life and parenthood. To make invisible feelings seen, one honest piece at a time.
A passionate writer and avid reader with an unwavering love for words.
I love writing as I get to create something beautiful and touch others with my words in the process. I love the fact that I can create a whole new world, something no one else has ever seen. Writing helps me to escape reality and create new realities. At times, I also write stuff in those stories that I can never muster the courage to say in real life. It's my safe space. I can write whatever I am feeling and I can let it all out. It's also very therapeutic to me..
