Everyone is special, learn to love yourself for the way you are. |
I look myself into the mirror And see a lot of things. Freckles, spots and cowardice, Amidst a lot more other things. I cry at times, and wonder Why I was made the way I am. Is it just me, the fault that lay in my destiny? Or the whole universe to blame for this fallacy. I look at other girls my age, Their talents fill my heart with envy They are beautiful, smart and all in vain, Whereas I am...nothing much to gain. I pray; I change myself Friends, behavior, clothes and all. I also change my tone in which, I speak to them all. I wish to be accepted by them, Wish to be loved, cared and encouraged. But when I look myself into the mirror, All is see is gloom, hatred and fear. I wait and watch, for the right time to come, I know some day will approach, when I will prosper. I do nothing, but sit and sit and sit, And when nothing happens, I cry out in fear. I curse my luck and withdraw from everything, The ill luck which fills my life. I am in pain, deep burning pain, That which only I understand, no one else to say. And then, after a long time , when I look into the mirror again, A thought comes to my head, so swift I fail to name it. I wait , hope for it to come again, And when it doesn't, I walk towards it with strength. Now, I see courage, positivity and beauty, I see myself as a strong, confident pearl. She has nothing to fear, nothing to cry about, Nothing to say, 'oh you good for nothing girl'. I learn to laugh more, grin more and smile Nothing to feel weary about , even the dark blue sky. I go out and enjoy my worth and beauty, I see, I have a lot to add to the world's serenity. I realised, comparison ,is what, we make ourselves, No one does it but us. Forever, we see ourselves as dogs of the street, When in reality , we are horses of the highest breed. For talent, worth and importance, is something we all possess, It just takes some time , or maybe forever to confess. But when we do accept the fact, that strength is on our side, We can make sure we proceed and win world's every fight. |
