TRUE SELF

https://www.delhipoetryslam.com/blogs/archive/true-self

When you were born,

The sages and worthies must have carried you,

 

On their heads, oh what GREAT WOMAN you are

Meant to be HONOURED AND RESPECTED;

 

You are a life giver, a miracle maker,

Who binds and keeps everyone together;

 

You are the FEARLESS AND COURAGEOUS one

Like a soldier battling on an enemy ground,

 

You are that DAUNTLESS WOMAN,

Who inspires not only the people In your surroundings;

 

But also the one

Who keeps sneaking, peeing and wondering about the purity of your soul;

 

Your soul is massive and immeasurable,

Now is when you understand how to live and let go;

 

Now is when you walk with DIGNITY,

And stand up for yourself even if it means STANDING ALONE;

 

Your heart is kind and generous,

Admiring your scars and inner beauty with a smile;

 

You have learnt to embrace,

And stand by the truth in a non-violent struggle;

 

You are a QUEEN who carries an UNSEEN CROWN on your head,

And hold everyone in a wide drape of your heart;

 

You support others to choose their favorite color in the VIBGYOR

And inspire them to keep flagging their rainbow during stormy and thundery days;

 

How do you manage to do that?

O BOUNTLESS WOMAN!

 

Polishing the mirror of your heart continuously,

So that each person can reflect back with clarity;

 

You are the author and destiny maker of your own story

So GET UP AND GO;

 

Go BEHIND YOUR DREAMS, fly as high as you can,

Your spirit of endurance and strength will make you win;

 

You have been through a lot,

Fighting with doubts and criticism;

 

It is the SHARPNESS IN YOUR EYES

And the WARMTH IN YOUR SMILE;

 

It is the LIVELINESS OF YOUR VOICE,

And MAGNETISM IN YOUR APPEARANCE;

 

It is the DANGEROUS CURVATURES OF YOUR BODY,

And the GENTLENESS OF YOUR HANDS;

 

This makes you as great a warrior with shield,

Spreading courage and love, it is the way you believe;

 

Walk with your head high and heart pumping with happiness and faith,

Believe in the TRUE POWER WHICH RESIDES WITHIN;

 

It is above the capacity of an ordinary man to understand you,

Because you deserve to be around someone of your being;

 

You’re Highness! YOU ARE INCREDIBLY AND SUPREMELY A NOBLE WOMAN,

Who stands with the crowd but completely stands out from them
