04.Lovely me

Poem n Video by Pal. Hesitantly I moved on; Not knowing for sure; My purpose was clear though; To become a confident, patient, ; Rational, matured, balanced one;Moving in a path to search; Light in darkness-happiness.

 

LOVELY ME

 

Very small, delicate, helpless,

Always crying, making dirty myself

The clothes I wore, the bed I sleep

And all the places I move about

 

Yet all took me, did all helping me

Loved me, touched me, cared me

All the time eager to make me feel good

 

So nice people around me

I started feeling beauty the world

Then I said to myself

 “You are ok, I am not”

 

I was helpless and weak

Unable to move beyond

Highly sensitive and possessive

In a state of imbalance an introvert

 

I wanted to move out of myself

In to the world outside seeking

Exploring being creative, adventurous

Trying to become an extrovert so to say

 

It was thrilling to feel independent

Moving about freely

Knowing the secrets of life

The pains and hidden pleasures

 

Asked many questions, whys

Challenging the age old practices

Made others feel not good

And raise their eye brows on me

 

How could you be this!

You were not taught this!!

What kind of education you got!!!

You are not the one we wanted!!!!

 

And they called me:

“You rebellious ignorant fool”

Then I said to myself

 “I am ok, you are not”

 

Hesitantly I moved on

Not knowing for sure

My purpose was clear though

To become a confident, patient,

Rational, matured, balanced one

 

On my way I learnt

After all, all are like me

Moving in a path to search

Light in darkness-happiness

 

Then I said to myself

“I am ok, you too”

A sense of matured

Balanced View of life

 

I am moving on yet

I am not happy

Find myself not in balance

 

Still in my mind thoughts crop up

Some time “You are ok, I am not”

Yet other time “I am ok, you are not”

In extreme “Neither you nor I am ok”

 

But I resist try to force myself

To bring in the thought

“I am ok, you too”

A sense of matured

Balanced View of life

 

But some where in my heart

In my conscience mind

An intuitive thought Spark out

 

Life is every moving situation

Anything that is moving

Can never be in balance

 

All efforts to balance

End up in sheer imbalance

“The wise ones accept life as is, where is basis”

Accepting what life throws our way, without knowing the answer to the question "why?" is hard indeed. This reflects a process of a spirit growing, maturing and learning throughout the trials of life; yet there will always be those moments of doubt that creep into one's soul. Nicely done.

I think that is why we refer to it as life's ups and downs. This is a very well written piece and The content is a powerful message.

I cannot, I will not, I never have and do not accept life on life's terms. I make my own terms and force life to conform to them. I am one with nature and God, therefore life comes from me, not I, from life. Out of the heart springs wells of eternal life and out of the soul reach paths to many journeys. I say multiverse, not universe. But I understand and respect where this came from, your heart, reaching, probing, learning and trying to find peace. "Why" has always been my most asked question. I do not care what religion a person follows, for example, but WHY, oh, an honest answer there, is a great deal more informative. Isaiah once said that men walk in darkness when the sun is shining and they go around either growling like bears or moaning like doves. That pretty much sums up the human race. Either they are crying or bitching. It is better as Confucius said in The Analects, " To light a single candle, than to sit and curse the darkness." If you want to know he meaning of life...go give your life some meaning, make a difference, make the world better starting with you. That is all the philosophy lesson for today, so sorry to ramble on. Your poem is well written. It is my personal viewpoint that differs with the message. And I usually find balance by carrying a beer in each hand. lol

Very thoughtful and insightful into the failed condition of mans immutability. Only an eternal, infinite, omnipotent being can be stable. We are but mere small in regards to that capacity. Only one that great, can even lead us to a higher stability then are finite flesh allows. Thank you for the well phrased poetic insights.

All of us struggle and, hopefully, learn from our struggles. It is in accepting ourselves that we learn to accept others. None of us are perfect. All my best, Sharon

[Catrinka]

this poem speaks to me of the struggle of the stages of growth, and probably something we all have to work through at some point, or even throughout our whole life. Nice job!

After reading this poem, I feel that I need to take a very long nap. It makes me tired because there's a great force behind this poem; anyone reading it can feel it. I just struggle trying to make sense of it because it runs me ragged. Despite that, I feel a sense of conflict within a peron (perhaps two, denoted by the different colors of the stanzas) who is desperatly trying to seek out happiness for himself and others, only to run into the human problem along the way. Lots of force behind this piece.

I liked the antiphonal feel of this - the internal conversation. We all do this - but many of us are unable to pen it with any eloquence.

[R J Askew]

I like this honest poem about pain. It seems an intelligent self-examination and the conclusion is right at least to my mind.
