Have No Fear

                           Have No Fear

When I was girl, in Catholic primary school,
I dared not question a thing, I thought how uncool! 
But as I grew, I met immensely brilliant, guiding  folk.
They gave my mind, atomic, gigantic welcome, jolts! 

Those jolts still live and shine brightly in me today.
I never reverted again to create things in others’ ways.
And,,,so i no longer go sniffing like a pup for approval.
No pats on my head, no~ it is all outer drivel!


I feel like a bird, freed from a rusty, old cage..
I learned self-acknowledgement is truly God’s page!
Stand up for yourself, I am not kidding.
Writing to please others is a false and dull bidding.

Poets may avoid you,  do count that as a huge win!
You were not created to be another’s poetry twin.
Make a difference with your valuable words…
Sometimes, they may have to be used as swords.

Stand up, be brave, we only go around life once
Stand for good, may your words,fill the air with a punch!

Krishika Upadhyay Date: 9/15/2025 8:04:00 PM This is empowering and bold. The message of self-acknowledgment, courage, and using your voice resonates strongly. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I never saw that before here at poetry soUp. There’s a lot I never saw here before saw here before.. that grieves me. Like you, I agree. But there were things I had to attend to like the future of the freedom of Americans.. too many of my country men are willing to wreck this country for madmen.

Linda Alice Fowler Date: 9/11/2025 8:37:00 AM Nicely done Pangie my friend. Be true to oneself!! One of the may things I appreciate about your friendship. :) Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 9/11/2025 1:34:00 PM Hi Linda, having No Fear also makes me weird to other poets)). Individuality is OK if you are Woke or do not make waves. In our current society, made of soup, traditional vales are to be replaced. Not by me., i am odd.)) Pangie, thank You.

John Read Date: 9/11/2025 7:03:00 AM I agree dear Pangie, believe in yourself and never change your ways for someone else, just follow the pathway of truth, and never use hate as your muse. God bless. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 9/16/2025 8:33:00 PM Late comment to a dear ! , john, i am alwats willing to grow. I do not have a client sedmind. The roar of the crowd teaches us nothing. Nor our crowds a friend.. nor are they wise. I know where to find wisdom.. become from those who are wise and Mick. Not from egocentric’s beaks!))) Pangie

Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 9/10/2025 9:55:00 AM Dear Pangie, Reading it felt like getting a jolt of courage and to stand tall, speak boldly, and laugh at anyone who tries to cage us. It’s inspiring, fun, and leaves me pumped to face the day with a little more fire. Yeah! Blessings, Dear Pangie, Daniel Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 9/10/2025 2:00:00 PM It’s odd Daniel. When one acts as I suggested, a lot of good can be done. And when we write with hate, harm can be done,, so you poets who hate, stop it,your pen is a gun, you inpire death! Innocent people could die, insult your self first. Daniel turn on the news, fox, and avoid liberal news who are cheering at assaniation, I think of PA last July. Never write hate poetry, i am upset, Daniel. Many here will cheer death, it is sickening, love, Pangie speak with truth,

Elena Eagle Date: 9/9/2025 1:03:00 PM A great poem for today. Very creative and great recommendations for us all. Login to Reply Panagiota Romios Date: 9/9/2025 1:15:00 PM Hi, Maria, Right on! If we do not start fighting back, we will lose our freedoms across the free world! But I know how it is here, famous poets spoke out. Some of their works are banned. Wow. Like Whitman’s Leaves of Grass? It will not be a world of doggies, donuts and demnimdenim. If our government sells . Us out. Most news channels sell out to a Woke world,,,who knows! I am not a Communist nor a Fascist. And will do all I can to keep the USA free. Pangie xx
