The poem explores the pursuit of love, security, and self-worth, emphasizing that true fulfilment comes from feelings and connections rather than material wealth or superficial beauty. It encourages stepping back from societal expectations to recognize what genuinely matters—emotional depth and authenticity.

“You reach for hands, for arms to hold,
A presence warm, a love untold.
But love’s not stitched in flesh or name,
It’s in the way it lights your flame.

You chase the grind, the weight of pay,
Stacking hours to keep at bay
The fear that whispers, cold and sure—
Yet wealth is not what makes you secure.

You crave the gaze, the fleeting prize,
The mirror’s truth, the world’s disguise.
But beauty fades, and fame will wane,
What lasts is feeling seen, not vain.

So pause, step back, unbind your mind,
From hollow things you’ve been assigned.
Your heart knows best what’s truly real—
Not what you own, but what you feel. ”
