Whom Would I Listen To

Sometimes when am emotionally strangled I sit in the corner of my room and think and blink, also cry untill my eyes run out of tears.. When I am hurt for any reason.. My.. Mind blabbers: "May be I shouldn't have attained birth" Specifically ~"Not as a girl" Why me?!!! If only I could be a boy ~ Would be physically strong, could go out anytime without fear, absolute freedom, no security required, no restrictions, no molestation, no labour pains.. sobs .. Occupying the pause.. My.. Heart consoles: Stop my dear Throw away the fear Freeze the tear And glow like a fire Face the obstacles being bold I know you are strong Being female you can bear a life within you unlike a male. Most of all .. Gender doesn't seem to be an issue..whence there's strong willpower and confidence in you..!!! Words are too short to describe your abilities, talents and skills. So you are empowered & independent.Be Stable. Otherwise, I might explode. Hearing those last words I quickly grab my pillow embrace it tight unlock my might close my sight and imagine myself in a graveyard I tremble ...oops, That is not the place am supposed to be at mid-twenties.. I have just begun my life There's lot more to explore Long way to go.I sigh.. Placing my hand on my heart listening to the loud thumps Promised it saying.. I wouldn't give up nor break down for any reason hereafter...!!! "Be you" Never copy and transform into him or her!! Be grateful to lord who has created You for a purpose. Listen to your heart at the time of conflict; It comforts you to handle situations with ease. 3-8-2020 Second place in the contest. Note:If only,may be ,sometimes Poetry Contest.

Thought provoking words Deepa, with a clear message, be yourself always, trying to be like others makes you vain and bitter. Well written and good luck in the contest. Tom
