I Understand

Meenakshi Sethi

Profuse# daily prompt # season 4# attempt 93

I understand
Yes, I do understand
This is the best quality I have
That I understand!

I understand people
I understand their situations
I understand their anger
And it’s reasons

I understand silence
I understand words
I understand frustrations
And their source

I understand blames
I understand flames
I understand why they ignite
And let them burn me day and night

I understand because
I have profuse understanding
I’m like absolute value of maths
And so eliminate all negative

I understand one and all
Just wonder though
In this billion population
Is there one who would understand me?

Even if there is not
Don’t worry about it lord!
I do understand
That’s the way I am created!

I will keep understanding
Till I meant to, in this life
And I have full faith
That one day…

Death will understand
What life denied!
My understandings will get over
And theirs will begin…

This is a law of life!
Value of one is felt
After they left
Who gives a damn, till you are alive!

But I have one request
After I will get freedom
From burden of being so understanding
Please understand and don’t cry!

  5. I understand and thanks to that empathy I could feel deeper and express all that. That’s your plus too. Everyone wants that friend and you got what everyone wants. Isn’t that great and makes you special 😍

    1. Yes it makes me special! I’m greatful too that God created me this way…
      Recently I went to my husband’s home town to attend some function after ten years. My sister was with me. She was telling my parents, if she has not witnessed it all herself she would never had believed how much I’m loved by everyone there. In her words, ” everyone surrounded Meenakshi like bees on honey” Even maids there kids, other workers, their families, neighbours and relatives.

      Still cherry I feel some vacumn. I’m trying to figure out what is it? And why is it there?
      Maybe my life purpose is something else.

      1. Meenakshi that is because you are an expanded Soul.
        The Real you comes out when you come across people who express love – genuine love, that is the reason. Feeling the vacuum is not ordinary, You See!
        Great!
        It happens to me too, Wherever and whenever I go and receive such true love.
        Regards
        Shiva

        1. How true! You said exactly the right words.
          I can feel this vacumn is not ordinary. That’s why I feel there is some big life purpose calling me. I know where and how I will find peace. Can not ignore it any more.

      2. That’s impressive. Winning the heart of in laws is next to impossible. Respect. Dogs add lot of happiness around. Get a small puppy they spread love around.

        1. I gave many sacrifices to win their love Cherry. Now time to reap the benefits has come.
          Puppy is what my daughter is asking from a long time but I know what is going to fill me. For me it’s not puppy. My call is different which is inside me since college days. Now is the time to listen to it and act on it.

            1. Yea don’t make any sacrifices Cherry. I did all that when I was too young to understand all this. My parents and society made me believe that this is the way how girls should live.
              Thanks to my daughter she changed me a lot. She too loves pups just like you but I’m toooooooo scared of them 😛

              I will reveal what my call is. Though it will take some time maybe year or two. But already started working on it. ☺💖
