Who Am I ?

Ramblings of a purple angel.

                                                             Who am I ?

I am  not a poet or a wordsmith,

Who can capture with my words,

I can only beg these pages,

To be patient with my ramblings,

I am not a singer that can coax a tear,

By the sweetness of my voice,

And be remembered long after,

My curtain has fallen.

I am but a person cast adrift in my life,

Wondering and worrying,

That I am going about it all wrong,

And everyone knows,

As they judge me in silence,

Shaking their heads at every decision,

But offering no advice,

Lest I realize they are looking.

I used to need your approval,

It meant so much to me,

Until I realized it was never mine to have,

And then my approval became all that mattered to me.

Author's Note

We need to accept ourselves for who and what we are.

Love the message about not needing others approval in the end.

Thank you Red :)

[Simran Kewlani]

I really love it. The message has somewhat reached till my heart. I like the way you have framed your words and got them together in this beautiful poem.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hello Simmy my sweet .Thank you very much :)

[Lydia Shutter]

YES, this is a very smart philosophy. YOUR opinion counts with you and it should count more than anyone else's. You have to be happy with who you are and what you do. Others can think what they will, but you need your inner peace. I have to disagree, Vidya....you ARE a wordsmith. You get your point across and do so very well. I enjoyed this write. Lydi**

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you sweet Lydi you are very right .We need to realize that its our opinion that matters :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

[Frieda P]

What a wonderful poem of self-realization, I beg to differ though, you are indeed a poet, you've just proven it....and you left out the pazzo part hon. ;) Great one Vidya!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Aww thank you chica.Haha yes I did leave out the pazzo part.My most defining trait too lol

[Frieda P]

I know, silly woman!! ;)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Don't know where my head was at lol

[Frieda P]

You're losing the plot lady lol

[Vidya Bacchus]

Okay I must not have had enough coffee :)

[Frieda P]

Where'd that intravenous bag go? haha

[Vidya Bacchus]

Right????? If only ,that would not be a bad idea although not so much of a fashion statement lol

[Frieda P]

True, you'd need something extra roomy to hide it, not muchly attractive. haha

[Vidya Bacchus]

Eeek not a pretty sight and I do like my pretty so I guess I'll just have to drink it the old fashioned way lol

[Frieda P]

With a straw out of the pot like a lady, right lol

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hell no !!! I didn't say the sissy old fashioned way.I'm chugging that brew right out of the pot before anyone decides they want some haha

[Blake Fodor]

wonderfully clear in both content and form. Very well done.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Hello Blake nice to meet you and thank you very much :)

[Sami Khalil]

I agree. Self acceptance is a must on the path of self realization. Approval of the self exceeds the approval of others. Another excellent poem Vidya...:).....................

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

Excellent advice wrapped in your creative verse… we cannot please everyone so we must please ourselves and those who care will approve no matter what.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you cowboy Dale.True that and the sooner we realize this the better off we will be :)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes so true, you are welcome.
