Defining Oneself Poem by Jaishree Nair
Defining Oneself
Hoping to while away the time.
opened the magic box,
Clicked on a video strange..
'World's ugliest lady'!
Curiosity bubbling forth...
Shocked, horrified, stunned... She gazed
as her face stared back at her...
Various shots of her buffoonery...
Unfolding before her!
Her skinny frame with features grotesque
in the clutches of a disease rare.
Not a drop of fat can her body host!
A cruel joke of fate..?
A prank by an educated..?
She realised with disdain...!
Painful comments followed suit
Each and every word pricked her soul!
Days she stayed in her room,
Withdrawn, tormented, enveloped in complexes...
At last no more tears left...
She sat up and thought...and thought and pondered...
Slowly gaining strength with positive vibes...
A web page she created...
Various thoughts she posted.
Videos, audios, messages...
The undercurrent message of all...
'How to define yourself'...
These key words...clear...precise...
Slowly reached the ears of the masses
They started paying heed to her words
Slowly gaining popularity...
The ugliest became the prettiest
Perhaps...this her mission...God's intention!
Beautiful woman....we don't need endorsement from this world to define ourselves. we all are beautiful from withing and the fault is in the beholders eyes. Sensitive poem penned so well.10

What we think of ourselves is more important than what others think of us. If we have confidence, no amount of bullying can weaken us. By practice we can prove that one defect can be neutralized by another merit! But it needs conscious training of our attitude to create positive vibes around us. A beautiful poem!
