Unique

Random babbling about life! :)

Everytime you say my name
Why is it that I feel burdened
With an honour that I don't deserve
And a respect I never offered
You call me and I pretend
That yes, I deserve it all

Why do you think high of me
When I lie in the deepest pits of life
Never done a worthwhile job
Never really been on the top
Yet you think I am a winner
I was victorious over my faults
But in reality, it never happened


Why do you keep on pushing me
Excellence feels far from reach
And the failures loom in the gloomy horizons
WHy, do you strive, for me?
Who am I to you?
A daughter...
A friend...
Someone you haven't even met...
That is what I am to you
And to them, who work for me
My happyness
My life
MY smiles
My joys

I play so many roles
I brighten up so many lives
I can be the sun for whom I was , before, a rain
I can be fun to whom, before, I was a strain

Life is what we make it
There is no need to fake it
You need me!
I need you!
Don't beat up yourself for one failure
I advice you the same
Because success follows failures
That's what we're all doing
We're living a life
Striving for success
Striving for love
You want someone to love
Start with your own self
Who seems so broken and fragile
Love yourself
And the world will love you
You are what you are
Make the best of yourself
For there had never been, nor there will be any
Just
like
you...
Unique in your own way

Author's Note

Ok. I'm not at my best here. To be honest, I swayed way off the topic I started with. So...maybe it's not good. But it did feel good writing it. Hope you like a "bit" of it atleast, hehe...

I love it and sometimes it's good to sway off topic once in awhile, your poem works that way because you use certain words and phrases to support you in how unique a person is. Like my poem True Meaning, someone said I sway a little off topic, but it works for me since it is what I see in life; the true meaning of life.
So keep on writing!! I hope to read more soon!

I liked this, it flowed really well and I don't think they way you kind of swayed to another idea was that bad. It still made sense and was a great read. Good job!

I read the poem a few times. I like the feel of the poem. Someone is standing and supporting you. Advice was wise in the poem. Must like yourself to face the world. Ending was very good. Left me with the wonder was it a lover or a friend?
