You are Deepawali ; Everyday is Deepawali

You are Deepawali.

You aren’t defined by the dripping faucet;
the one you “wished repaired” by Deepawali
You are the one who still ensures a dry floor.

You aren’t defined by the rangoli you never made;
the one you “pinterest wished” for Deepawali.
You are the one who brings your true colours everywhere.

You aren’t defined by the family pic you never clicked
the one you “poster perfected” for Deepawali.
You are the one whose presence makes for genuine memories.

You aren’t defined by the faral or the chakli you never made
the one you “promised this year I will do home-made” for Deepawali
You are the one who ate it all up.

You aren’t defined by anything
for Deepawali or otherwise.

You are limitless ; not bound by defining.
You are Deepawali
All the lights that you carry
and try not to extinguish
within your self.

Every day;
Every day is Deepawali.
