If you are the ocean, be the ocean.
Don't try to shrink into their tiny pond!
Just because they are incapable of carrying all the water you have.
In the end, they are going to blame you, for their inability to hold you whole...
Don't try to become a single drop!
Just because they are not able to understand you.
In the end, they are going to blame you for their inability to understand your depth...
Let them stay at the shore, if they fear your depth.
Don't try to become a calm river!
Just because they are desparate to find your end...
It's their inability to understand your infinity.
Don't try to hush the waves!
just because they are deaf to your song.
In the end, they'll blame you for the rhythm their ears can't hear.
Don't try to mould in their glass!
Just because they can't see your beauty.
In the end, they'll blame you for the limits of their vision to see your shapeless beauty.
You are an ocean
beautifull in your
own shapeless
wild way..

Deeply philosophical this poem gives various examples of why not to conform to others views and desires. All put in a metaphor of water from ocean to river to glass and drop. Nicely done and most poetic
Thank you so much!! 😊
You are always most welcome Antra
Antra, this really moved me. There is such a strong sense of self-worth running through the poem. I love that it never argues for becoming less…it argues for embracing exactly what you are. Powerful write, my friend. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
