It's Okay, you can Smile!!

Shredded you, torn to pieces,

Been a victim of the devil world,

Fight your miseries,

Open up your mind,

This realm is not so simple but twirled.

 

You are a lover of pure thoughts,

Bestowed with heaven of heavens,

They, who maneuver,

With shallow mind,

Look at the rainbow as black and not seven,

 

Build yourself a flaming sword,

Guard your own paradise,

Rise and shine,

All set to walk down a glittering aisle,

My dear beloved heart,

It’s Okay, you can smile!!!

The feel of a wedding promise here. And a message to protect what is most precious, live in joy, and experience life on your terms, not their's. Well done.

[JE Falcon]

So smooth, almost whimsical in its rhythm. And the last two lines, wow, I loved this.

[Anuja Sharma]

Thank you for your review. I am so glad you liked it!!😊

[barleygirl]

Your manner of expression, with your trademark double-exclamation-point after every title, is just that -- double exclamation points!! Typically I do not go for such trickery as exclamation points in writing (often overdone) but this one really suits you. You have a genuine way of being ridiculously upbeat in your writing, in a way where it doesn't come out sounding ridiculous at all. You make a believer out of people, even when the harsh stuff of life seems so much louder than the cheerleading you do (((HUGS)))

[Anuja Sharma]

I really love when people give such honest, genuine and nice reviews. Thank you so much for this. And yes, sometimes it just becomes 'your' way of doing things and the same is happening with me. 😌
I'm so glad you loved it.

[Cassie]

[Anuja Sharma]

We are our own enemy. Sometimes the negatives come to the fore. We have to replace them with positives. We have to make our own light z fight our own corner. That's what your poem made me think of Anuja. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us.

Chris

[Anuja Sharma]

Yes Chris, Indeed you read my heart. We are all responsible for the good/evil in our lives and we have to be our own guardian angel. Thank you for taking a halt here. Much grateful for the review.

[Chris Shaw]

You are welcome dear poet. Excuse the typos. I am on the small screen on my phone. My eyes aren't as sharp as they used to be :)

[Anuja Sharma]

No worries Chris. I always cherish you beautiful reviews & poems, coz its the context that we should get out of it. 😊❤

[Chris Shaw]

You are a sweetheart. Have a lovely day :)

Has something of a mythical sound to it. One wonders who "they" of the shallow minds are. Whoever, the speaker feels beset by them, even shredded. We all have dark sides, so I wonder if this is an allegory of the individual mind, where one needs to forge a flaming sword to fend off the demons of the lower self.

[Anuja Sharma]

Well yes John, the context here is to be your own guardian angel amidst of this world full of demons who let you down at every step, try to burn your confidence.
But anyways, thanks for reading & reviewing this piece.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

We are hardest on ourselves, our own worst critics....often just seeing the negatives.

But on closer inspection, we have many things to be thankful for, many things to make us smile if only we look hard enough.

[Anuja Sharma]

Thanks Jacob for stopping by. Grateful for your review.

[Betty Hermelee]

It’s hard to break out of a certain state of mind or mood, in this case hitting on oneself, not trying to lift out of the state of doom, even with encouragement from a loved one… I really like the last line, as if the encouragement is working!
Well written piece.
Best, Betty

[Anuja Sharma]

Thank you so much Betty. Glad you liked it.
And true that one has to be their own encouragement in the dooming state. You, shedding tears, means nothing to anyone else.
