I Am Me
I wish to love myself,
I want to be myself,
So timing the time the first time,
And dream to hit the bull’s eye,
Before… off the hands it passes by.
Humanity scores it right,
Society condemns it wrong,
So I felt to decide,
Before its too long,
What me, myself & I want.
Trying to push past the pain,
Sticking to it would lead me insane,
Can’t afford more efforts in vain.
Gotta focus on the goal……one that’s main,
I do now realize…. your “promising” brain,
Which, no way…can else drain.
All you need is time,
Till you’re ripe with skill,
That’s enough to make for yourself a time,
When “no disturbing” would be the bill,
In dozens yours would be such as Bondel,
And trust me!....millions, for you, would kill.
The passion to prove myself,
To prove the righteousness,
Many of which with I have grown,
Is all being proven,
When of the Self, have I taken hold.
It’s been enough of it,
Enough of waiting-for-it,
It’s time now to move,
For delay….there is no room,
Coz this is the time …….ONCE in a blue moon.
I got a little swayed,
I do that agree,
But not was that for nothing good,
Instead taught me – “When, how, and why be free?”,
By god, and thus keeps going my spree.
I tell the self from earned experience,
When you have the confidence,
And desire to make feel your presence,
Keep pressing for prominence,
Ever spreading your fragrance,
And that my dear….. needs perseverance; with patience.
Work your mind out,
And bring your heart out,
Sow the seeds you want to sprout,
Something world would miss and can’t do without.
I feel my tree grow,
Though slow may be the rate,
But, for now, matters is the flow,
That’s nowhere now astray to go,
Since in my hands I’ve got the fate.
Ink and sheet be my friend,
With that my life…”am” gonna mend,
The rules are now sure to bend,
Coz the darkness is….undeniably…not far to end.
There might be millions like me,
And I know there are many like me,
Even better than me,
Still above all…….matters to me,
Is that ...…“I am Me”.
