So they say...

So they say...do I believe or do I defy?

 

“You are not a perfect home maker”

Why was it my JOB?

“You are not a doting Mom “

But my daughter wouldn’t exchange me for another

“You are not a worthy child”

But my parents would have me again

If they were to relive parenthood

So I am complacent

I am happy

I can ignore the scathing accusations

 

Then what is it that nags me?

 

“You are not a great friend”

But I am cherished

“You are neither efficient nor effective”

But there is a void when I leave.

“You don’t fit”

I don’t have to.

“What have you achieved?”

I don’t have to quantify

“You are not diplomatic”

Why should I be?

“You are not sought after”

Then why do people come?

“You are not beautiful”

Are you sure?

 

Then why this emptiness?

I must say that i like such random musing...Its good.
These questions bog you down at times but then i appreciate the way you defy them...
I'm sure we all here do ponder over these questions which might be vague and irrelevant for others...and most of the times we are demoralized... Perhaps we are important or may be we are not... I dont know the answer !!

Good musing (wink)

What a great thought provoking piece, just loved all the contradictory questions in which you in the end defy what they might be thinking...
However, emptiness is always something that seem to bring even the strongest of persons to their knees..

Wonderfully expressed. I loved it
