A naïve little girl
Always shy and scared
Hard knocks of life tamed her well
Self-reliant now and fully prepared.
...
I remind myself constantly
That learning from mistakes is a rare ability.
Have that strength to overcome trials
...
A name well-known to West
And celebrated pride for East
Great warrior named Saladin
Was nemesis for crusades, world agrees
...
When people get abusive someway
Are spreading hostility and hate
Harness your emotions, control your state
Indulge neither in discussion, nor debate
...
Release the past, Keep your present
Wisdom is to take things the way they're meant.
Without altering their course
Very pure, very whole, like the source.
...
Fears irrational, dwellers of mind
Timid & uncertain with horrors unknown
Doubts need time to scatter, dispel
And vagueness space, before it's gone.
...
A custom 'In' with Youth of today
Don't want struggle, yet dreams to Shine
Dears! Hard work and Effort is crucial
Your success will take some time
...
She wants to be experienced and known
Needs solitude, wants him to be alone
Nature is bold, clear and manifesting
While Man opaque with fears and hauntings
...
In the world of sham personas, try striking originality
Archetype holds respect, not modeled duality.
...
Whether ideas, appearance or speech
mere book reading or art-stuff
By imitation, display their weakness to you
Secretly adore u, are epigone bluff
...
Atrocities committed when crusaders fought
Women, children murdered
Were Non believers of Antioch/Marat
Jerusalem sieged for a noble Cause
...
You feel Riches and wealth felicity agents
Not a recipe for better life spent
Flying around, exotic foods and flashy cars
...
Life busy, accompanying Distractions
Modern technology are addictive attractions
Preoccupation there, concentration lacking
...
There is a bluebird sitting in my yard
Singing so gracefully, gives a bright start
Your fine prsesnce in summers and spring
Comely blue plumage, on a branch u cling
...
Stay Spirited by investing in others
Expend part of you on them, clear smother
Love, honesty and smiles will help you stem
...
My soul has sung odes
Feet troden routes all snowed.
Some rhymes once encountered
Words misheard, and meaning altered.
...
You did your best
But things went wrong
All efforts pointless
Some days are very long.
...
Its either black or white,
Rigidness high while judging other's matter
Dish things out, but can't take from platter?
...
Heart harmonized, senses peace and joy
Feeling the breeze and serenity ahoy.
Softness of solitude intensified
Soul approaching Nature, then reside.

Self Reliance
A naïve little girl
Always shy and scared
Hard knocks of life tamed her well
Self-reliant now and fully prepared.
Long journey of fear and timidity
Fallen many times, apprehension was paired
Exaggerated modesty was actually cowardice
Boldness and assertion, never dared
Life and Time are two great teachers
Many lessons learned and wisdom shared
happy now, grown out from past
Things are better and much repaired.
Self reliance her Gold, freedom her riches
To people has accounts undeclared
Assertiveness and confidence now her jewels
People and life, all pretty squared.
Nice poems, loved most of them, keep sharing the good work :)
