CELEBRATE YOURSELF

I have a child in me
who fears isolation.
I have a villain in me
who is a prejudiced idiot.
I have a lass in me
who wishes to look beautiful  always .
I have a genius in me
who yearns to achieve .
I have a dreamer in me
who wishes to unleash reality.
I have a joker in me
who adds humour to every cell .
I have a fool in me
who complicates simple things.
I have a saint in me
who controls the rest of them.
I have a god in me ,
who loves to touch lives .
All of them share the same space
presenting themselves in a myriad of forms.
Yet,I am no perfectionist,
I commit mistakes.
But, I am myself
and enjoy being that way.
You too are a multi- coloured soul,
Celebrate your uniqueness,
Celebrate yourself!

    Nice poem ! Very well put... My favorite lines that describe the issue and the solution together...
    "All of them share the same space
    presenting themselves in a myriad of forms.
    Yet,I am no perfectionist,
    I commit mistakes.
    But, I am myself
    and enjoy being that way."

    Would love to see more whenever you put them up

Those bangles in my hand    jingle very often to tell you that my gestures speak as much as my eyes . I am powerful, poignant, intense and passionate.

Dance

Photo by  Drew Colins  on  Unsplash    In 6th grade, a group of girls  refused to take me in  for an intra-school group dance competition, some thought I didn't look good enough to be on stage, some thought I didn't dance well enough to be on stage, they danced for Aaja Nachle, the irony of it all. I have no hatred for any of those girls, I don't even remember most of them, they did only what they knew, the problem with that incident  especially at the age of 11 or 12, is that I was never angry with them  as much as I was with myself  for not being good enough. Today is international dance day, so much has changed since then, dance has meant a lot of things over the years to me, so this is to remind you  that the stage will never define what it is to move your body to the rhythm of your soul, to feel sweat dripping down your elbows, so this is for you  who dances in the shower, who dances in your bedroom, who dances on a friday...
