Reality Won't Digress - Written By D. Sarkar 2nd August 2008

Onwards upwards

Forever in our grasp

It’s now we are alive

For our needs we just ask

With life we can learn

About our desires

Look deep within

Seek what lifts you higher

Embrace who you are

Be grateful for what you have

Decipher your dreams

And use them to enhance

Hold on to a good thought

Focus on its strength

Your belief will allow

That feeling to commence

And if it is true to you

You will achieve

Your future holds no bounds

This you must believe

So think those great thoughts

And your wishes will manifest

No matter how far fetched

Reality won’t digress

Proud To Be Me - Written By D. Sarkar 9th September 2009

Proud to be me

What does this mean

Comfort in your own skin

Satisfaction deep within

You must love you

Without needing recognition

Listen to your heart

It will give you ammunition

The real you is wise

It knows you inside and out

It sees that you are beautiful

And is offended by your doubt

So any time you feel ashamed

When looking at you

Seek clarity from inside

And you'll find a better view

You are amazing

You are unique

Stop creating struggles

Stop this self defeat

Today Is Your Relief (a dedication to Love and Peace Day) - Written by D. Sarkar 28 April 2009

This is a day to make effort

To be happy that you are you

Be thankful for all that you have

Give praise where it is due

Try and focus on good

Stop yourself from a moan

Don't read bad news or tell bad tales

Be hopeful about the unknown

Have pride in all you've achieved

Be happy for others too

And show gratitude for their input

When they have assisted you

Send love to those less fortunate

Leave your bills until tomorrow

Put any problems on hold

In self pity you must not wallow

Just for one day be aware

That you are a lucky soul

Strong, loving and loved

Secure and in control

So celebrate this special occasion

With a dedication to Love and Peace

Don't worry about the future or past

For today is your relief

Que Sera Sera - written by D. Sarkar 14th March 2012

I am so worried
What am I doing?
Who am I now?
Where am I going?

Sleepless nights
Muscles are tight
Will I or won't I?
Do I have a right?

What if that happens?
What if I don't succeed?
Where is my support?
I am in need

Have I done the right thing?
Will I prevail?
What will happen?
Am I going to fail?

Questions questions
Fears and hopes
Must battle on
Must learn to cope

What will be will be
That's the way it goes
You have a destiny
The future will show

Worry wastes time
Creating negative feeling
Que sera sera
That is your dealing

So stop with the panic
And go with the flow
Make sound judgement
That is how to grow

Your heart and head guide
Your spirit is inside
Ask it for assistance
Keep your being alive

To Be An OT - Written By D. Sarkar 7th March 2012

To be an OT

What does it mean?

When others are restricted

On an OT they can lean

We all have daily tasks

We wish to complete with independence

We want to occupy our time

Doing things which bring us contentment

A bilateral amputee

Who wants to be able to walk

A victim of a stroke

Who again has to learn to talk

A youth with anxiety

Who just wants to be happy

A lady with arthritis

Wants to change her grandson’s nappy

A man with Down Syndrome

Eager to be employed

A woman with a brain injury

Who wants to study Freud

In life we all have goals

But for some they are harder to reach

Sometimes we have to learn a different way

And that’s where an OT can teach

When you struggle to achieve by yourself

And want to cross that boundary

You can learn a new way

By using Occupational Therapy

Against all the odds

Things can really be better

Have a little faith

And be a true go-getter!

Peace Profound - written by D. Sarkar 4th March 2012

It's just me alone

And my inner voice

No one else to talk to

So I have no choice

Silence surrounds

But inside is random chatter

Trying to find the truth

And the root of the matter

Should I? Shouldn't I?

Did I try?

Who was I then?

Is that a lie?

Where am I going?

Am I in control?

Why did that happen?

What is my goal?

Clarity is required

Need silence inside

Breathe in deep

Focus my mind

Thoughts come and go

But I give no attention

Except for positive hope

Those are my affirmations

Of my true desires

For who I am today

The past has passed

And the future is in play

Keep re-adjusting

Our thoughts can be improved

It's about what's coming

The future is self-approved

Now close your eyes

Use your breath to calm you down

Then look up with gratitude

And find a peace profound

Life and Times - written by D. Sarkar 20th Feb 2012

Who are we? 
Why are we here?

Are we going the right way?

Or are we held back by fear?

What is our goal?

Is everyone the same?

Generally speaking

We all hope to gain

Control of our future

Achieving desires

Learning ourselves

Reaching up higher

Understanding our past

Accepting our present

Be aware of our failures

But don’t allow descent

For me I hope to be better

For me I want to achieve

Knowing my set backs

In happiness I believe

So that is my goal

Seek guidance from within

Decipher external wisdom

Try and aim to win

Others may stay stagnant

But that is their choice

Each one of them is required

Each has their own voice

So let them be

And focus on “me”

Not to be selfish

But to set yourself free

Discover The Unknown - written by D. Sarkar 16th June 2007

Moving through your life

A past, present & future process

Changes are inevitable

How we adapt reflects our success

But how on this earth do we live?

With what are we equipped?

Life can sometimes be torture

Can we keep our soul & minds fit?

But this is what life is about

Cope with strenuous things

See how far we can go

Spread above the world our wings

Fly & be set free

Reach for the unknown

Love life, ourselves, each other

Discover & be shown

Achieve & be proud

Pass knowledge onto others

Learn from each day

Don't hide beneath your covers

You Can Stand - Written by D. Sarkar 30th November 2011

Just do what’s right.

Why must everyone fight?

Don’t attack a government

And waste all of your energy

Do you not realise

They’re meant to be the enemy

Anyone that takes away your freedom

Anyone that tries to control you

Is there to build your own integrity

So to yourself you must be true

You really are fooled

If you think they have the upper hand

Your life is what YOU make it

Please try and understand

The World is changing

And we all must keep up

Don’t fight or argue

Do keep your chin up

Now is the time

That YOU can stand

Disregard problem people

Freedom is in your hands

Keep your mind positive

Improve your emotional state

Remove unproductive feelings

Like anger and hate

The World is evolving

We are guided from above

Forget the love of power

Embrace the power of love

Easter In Italy - Written by D. Sarkar 25th April 2009

All equipped

Ready for the off

Checked my list

I'm clean and washed 

Got my passport

Got my keys

Cat is with a friend

Need to leave

Have been so excited

Counting down the weeks

But I’m a little uncertain

Where are we meant to meet?

Phone is in my suitcase

Taxi is outside

Where is it I'm going?

In 2 hours I must fly

Checklist is ticked

I've got everything

Except for a location

For where I begin

Get in the cab

Hope the driver knows

My friends will be let down

If I'm a no show

Where am I meant to be?

Trying hard I remember

An Easter break in Italy

Oh wait, we're in December!

Fairy Nuff - Written by D. Sarkar 24th April 2009

Fairy Nuff

Could not go on

She tried & tried

For very long

No one listens

No one hears

She'd screamed & yelled

For 60 years

"I cannot shout

Not anymore

They don't care

And my throat is sore

Instead I'll sleep

Peacefully doze

I'll be content

And they'll never know"

And so she slept

And shouted no more

But others could hear

So loud was her snore

They couldn't take it

And banged on her door

But her sleep was so deep

That she did ignore

They finally heard

But she had no clue

Alone in her home

If only she knew

Gobbledegook - Written by D. Sarkar 14th March 2008

Gobbledegook

Bollocks & shite

Let it spill out

With all of your might

So much crap

Tangling your brain

Insane thoughts

Worthless gain

So scream & yell

Jump up & down

Shake your system

Remove your frown

Revive yourself

Let your soul be

Squeeze out the tension

Set yourself free

The Way - written by D. Sarkar 8th August 2007

A long way away is the way

The way to the truth of it all

Along the way you'll find clues

But many a time you will stall

Each stall creates re direction

Sometimes taking you back

How you find the key

Depends on how you react

Use each key wisely

Decipher as best as you can

Ask important questions

Try to understand

Barriers block your progress

But there is a need for each one

So after you've unlocked the door

Remember where you had begun

Then look about

And see where you are

When you turn around

You'll know you've travelled far

Retaining mementoes along the way

But leaving some baggage behind

You'll still have more to offload

As there's many more gifts to find

So on your way to knowing the way

Try to look ahead

Learn and stay focussed

The truth will be found before you're dead!

Blurred Vision - Written by D. Sarkar on 15th April 2008

They think I have comfort

They think I'm in control

Confident in who I am

They look at me like I'm whole

This is me

See who I portray

A self assured woman

I look but turn away

Seeing through their eyes

They see who I want to be

But I have blurred vision

Through not looking properly

Inside not satisfaction

Desire not fulfilled

Wanting instead what they have

But knowing that is false will

Don't want what others have

For you know not what they believe

Reflections of their life

Are not for you to achieve

Look again correcting your focus

Believe in the real you

Your mind can create distortion

So you must find a better view

For what others see is clear

You just have to realise

That their view is a manifestation

Of how you affect their lives

Every action creates reaction

Scientists have proved

And if that reaction is positive

Then its basis should be approved

A Life Prolonged - Written by D. Sarkar 23rd February 2008

Unrelaxed? Inhale.

Take a chocking breath

Tar filling your lungs

Easing the stress

Why so troubled?

What is on your mind?

That smoky glowing stick

Of which you've been deprived

So take another puff
And miss it no more

Relax and breathe in deep

Those chemicals are a cure

A cure to your senses

Removing the sensible ones

You enjoy faggy breath

And it costs you a bomb

So strongly committed

You suffer wind and rain

Leave the company of friends

For a worthless gain

What a stupid fool

It's so easy for this habit to end

Counteract the cravings

Knowing your body will mend

Fight that addiction

You know that you are strong

No more cigarettes

Live a life prolonged

To Thine Own Self Be True - Written by D. Sarkar 13th March 2008

We all need re-assurance

To affirm who we are

Others pride brings satisfaction

That in life we have come far

They approve

They compliment

Our minds rest assured

Our hearts saved from lament

So important to be judged

Such need for their thoughts

In hearing what they think

About ourselves we are taught

But they don't need to educate

Ultimate knowledge lies within

Do we know ourselves?

That is where to begin

Take back ownership

Understand what is inside

Knowledge of your own spirit

Will be your real guide

First approve of yourself

Happy that you are you

Others can form their opinions

But to thine own self be true
