Just Being You

Just being you

is what you need

it takes a lot

on your part to be freed

from all perceptions and emotions

from all viewpoints and notions

you will have to strive hard

to love to disagree

but then its your choice

to be enslaved or free

they will test you by all means

showing their fake attitude and spurious miens

but you will have to take a stand

though you will not have a helping hand

be firm be stern

these lessons you will have to learn

but then you will be at peace with yourself

when you have no conflicts with your own self

you will feel love and care all around

no one will have grudge for, no one will hound

life will look like a wonderful bliss 

where you belong to one and all

where you will have ecstasy of a heavenly kiss

and not a teardrop to fall

  • Thank you for such an overwhelming response.

  • @ Anjana:

    Your poem is really nice ...Being what we are is what make us find our way and be creative and successful,we live our life trying to satisfy others and forget alot about what we are and what we want ...but when we realize our potential ,we can find our way in the world .

    Thank you for sharing !

    @Gabriel:

    The poem is wonderful ,it's a moral lesson and every line describes what we should be and not what others want us to be .

    I always admire your recitation with the wonderful music which suits the meaning of the poem .

    Your creativity gives special meaning and fantastic environment to the words ...

     Thank you dear !

    Lol...! The poem that I've posted here is entirely a different one - written by Ellen Bailey! I didn't touch Anjana's poem at all for the fear that I may mar the beauty that she had painstakingly injected into the first part earlier! It seems she has completed the poem without the help of others. She's simply superb!  

    Sakshi, be careful with what you are saying! Anjana won't be reluctant to sue both of us for infringing copyright! ...........!!! Did I scare the living daylight out of you, Sakshi? Poor girl..! Sorry, I was just kidding, my Dear. You are the apple of Galina and my eyes...! We both admire the enthusiasm you are showing in learning the phonemes. Keep going, girl!

    Warm regards,

    P.S. Miss Anjana, please forgive me for turning your blog into my playground! It was quite unintentional, believe me! :-( 

  • Hi everyone

    finally I have concluded my poem . I hope you all are going to like it. comments and suggestions are welcome.

  • Hi, Anjana! 

    I plucked up, after some hesitation, the courage to post my recitation of the poem “Be Yourself” that I posted here earlier. It’s not because I was nervous wreck but I didn’t want you to think that I’m a pain in the neck. You see, at one side you want someone to complete your poem but on the other hand I wanted to please my personal fulfilment. Hope my behaviour doesn’t put the wind up you! You can always press the stop button  if you ears don’t prick up. Thank you!

    Best regards,

  • Hi, Anjana!

    Nice poem, though it’s unfinished! It not only gives us short shrift but also puts us wise to being ourselves. If only I could bring it to a completion...! For a man like me, alas, who is not endowed with such flair could only be gratified by reading poems penned by gifted writers like you!

    Anjana, your poem  reminded me of another one written by Ellen Bailey. Do you mind if I 'etch' it on this wall?

                   Be Yourself

    Why would you want to be someone else
    When you could be better by being yourself
    Why pretend to be someone you are not
    When you have something they haven't got

    Cheating yourself of the life you have to live
    Deprives others of that only which you can give
    You have much more to offer by being just you
    Than walking around in someone else's shoes

    Trying to live the life of another is a mistake
    It is a masquerade; nothing more than a fake
    Be yourself and let your qualities show through
    Others will love you more for being just you

    Remember that God loves you just as you are
    To Him you are already a bright shining star
    Family and friends will love you more too
    If you spent time practicing just being you

    Thank you for sharing your poem with us, Anjana!

    Regards,

    ~* GS *~
