i am just me

NafisaSB

I am just me

Yes, I am only me…

A person once careworn

And now, a bit carefree…

I like to sit and read

A life of contentment lead

To rudeness pay no heed

I just trim off the weed…

Mostly I do smile

And try to hide a frown

For it is now quite easy

To wear a thorny crown.

The years have mellowed me

For I know right from wrong

I ignore the rotten apples

For my spirit is still strong

Some days I am merry

And bubbling to the brim

On Others I am serious

Though never really grim.

The years have been a challenge

That I rose up to meet

So that, today, the future

I can, serenely, greet.

In myself, I am quite happy

I, do not, company need

But am equally content

To mingle, and to meet.

It has taken me years

To escape from my cage

Yes, it has taken me eons

To reach this mellow stage

  • Comment from author about the poem: finally, have got the guts to try to stop pleasing the world, and do what makes me happy because those who care will never judge, and those who judge don't really care

    Please know I haven't ignored your poem, but do find your comment particularly pertinent.....

    • NafisaSB

      it's easy to be a doormat, but then it is so satisfying to express your innermost feelings because those who care will understand your actions better..
      so yes, more than the poem, i agree my remarks carry more weight for me too..
