ME

ME

A Poem by Slender Smile/Husna Tayyab
"

I know many of you have seen this on my profile page and many others would have thought I just copied it from somewhere else although it has been derived from a collection of words. But this is MY piece...this is me.

"

 

Me
 
 
 
I fall & I pick myself up,

I lose hope yet I dream

I am lost & I find myself again,

I cry & I laugh through my tears

I despair yet I believe....

Despite my height,
insecurity,
criticism,
competition,
bad timing,
bad luck,
fear,
flaws,
failure &
opposition.........

I AM THE GLOW
of confidence
FOR WHOM THE WORLD
steps aside
I AM THE SPARKLE OF
independence
THAT TURNS HEADS WITH
every stride.

This is just wonderful. =]
It's good to see poems like this. Uplifting, motivating, passion-filled poetry! Sometimes I get tired of the depressive stuff. It's almost rare to see this subject matter anymore. It's refreshing.
I especially liked the ending
"I AM THE SPARKLE OF
independence
THAT TURNS HEADS WITH
every stride."

Usually I'm anal about captialization and grammar and all that- but your poem, the defiant manner in which it is typed fits perfectly with the point you're trying to get across! I just love it!
Thank you so much for sharing this!

This poem is very inspirational. You put a lot of emotion into every word. I could tell you probably wept as you wrote this piece (I cry when I write about sensitive subjects). This is going into my favorites!

You know, it is actually very hard for any writer to define them self, for who they are actually from inside as an individual.
But you have done that so perfectly!
"I AM THE GLOW
of confidence
FOR WHOM THE WORLD
steps aside" - Wow! This was awesome..
Great work here!

Kind of a " I am woman hear me roar" kind of thing.
I loved it and it showed that you won't let anything
get you down for long.

Thanks for sharing the beautiful write.

This is more than reality, it is a slice of life.

You are the glow, you are the sparkle therefore
you are the influence, the motivation for the
rest of us. You inspire us and energize us, so
that we keep striving, moving on and up.

In a few words, you teach us to overcome .

Thank you ,
