Priority Poem by Sucheta Sarwan

You do certain things for the people you love.
You always do that without any thoughts whatsoever!
What I do not comprehend in this,
Is why would you stop yourself to do things for yourself?
And doubt your capabilities, your keeness,
And depend on somebody who doesnt even love you!
But said he did to be honest,
And you believed it, you gullible creature!
You whisper liar before falling asleep every night,
I see you every night;
And I desperately try to remind you who you are!
And baby, you always tell your friends that you have to safe yourself;
So how did you forget it yourself?
You become this strange being of strange calmness,
It doesnt belong there!
A beast is never meant to sleep, my love!
Roar like the lioness, because that's what you are!
And remember you dont need a person to appreciate your beauty;
Your charm and your grace!
You just need to always remember,
You are always and should always be your priority.
