Valli's blog

Yes, I am sad
I am lonely
I am depressed
I live within my own shell,
my own cocoon
It is a deep hollow place
that nobody is aware of
isolated, dark and colorless
unexposed and unexplored
But I love this gloomy darkness
as it embraces me tight
keeps me warm and safe
protects me from the evil light
and the venomous colors piercing through
My cocoon is my own world
my own home, my own nest
I don't want to come out of it
and taste the fake and pretentious beauty outside!
My dear friend and Bro
He shared this version with me on the same theme.
The meadow outside the window is green and sun lit,
but my window will remain closed and the curtains drawn,
maybe I can't smell the roses,
but at least my fingers aren't covered in thorns.

Deep sri deep .. perhaps darkest you have written .. :)
our cocoon, our nest, our room..
we can give so many names..
but little privacy where we are no one but ourselves is the best place to be :)
Maybe i understand what this means maybe i don't. But let me tell u this Valli deep within all of us are comfortable and snug in our own cocoons. Because at the end of everything the only one we can really trust is us.
Truly spoken, sincere and i can relate to this feeling. That's another thing that i can't compose something so beautiful as u have done.
Micah has added something that makes yours richer...it sort of sums up why one feels comfortable in that supposedly dark cocoon.
Ending verse is beautiful. And it's always great if you have someone to read your work before publishing. :)
I loved the lines where you have written evil light/piercing.
Sometimes I feel the same Sri :(
lovely..i can well relate to it! Many times I also prefer to stay locked up in my cocoon!
I do understand ...sometimes the coon seems safe, however dark it may be . Lovely lines Valli !
shelled is comfortable ... coming out is adventure .. perceptions .. !! Wonderfully expressed you and your bro both ! Kudos !!
ok ok so deep and dark and sad poem....its good but I hope to read something lively
Very Perfectly expressed the Cocoon that we all are used to and Even the Last para is also beautifully expressed..Well Done..
Loved it :)
Beautifully composed lines. Its true that the house is every woman's cocoon. Its perhaps the safest place for a woman now.
lovely :)
Coccoon.. is the place for development Valli! :)
Hope its the same for u too :(
A feeling of inherent warmth of the cocoon can be felt through the words, Valli:)
Lovely one Valli. Sometimes I too feel the same way
Coz Every body has a private world where they can be alone!!
Loved it!!
Very nice poetry , deep thoughts, written so well :)
Can this 'cocoon' be someone's choice or one is bound to live in it?
The last two lines ... I don't think I can say anything. They are magical. Among the great lines I have ever come across.
*blush* Thank you di, for sharing.
that's how we feel when we are depressed, but as the mind begins to clear, and the original self returns, i'm sure we start loving all the bright and beautiful things outside, and then no more we want to be in a cocoon.
Beautiful and deep as always..feeling good visiting after so many days..
Nice
