INSECURITY  (Ghazal)

INSECURITY (Ghazal)

A Chapter by Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)
"

stealing your own happiness

"


Oh, woman, dear, don’t be so insecure;

You’re only hurting yourself when you are insecure.

 

Look  at the mirror and see how beautiful you are,

You don’t need to feel bad and to be insecure.

 

When you see others smile and happy in their lives,

Can’t you just smile for them and not feel insecure?

 

When someone deserves a prize, an award for his deed,

Would you aim to claim it because you’re insecure?

 

When someone stands now in a place where you dream,

Would you pull him down there when you feel insure?

 

When someone’s being praised for an excellent work,

Would you make some sour grapes- deeds of an insecure?

 

Yes, you are stealing a moment of your own joy,

Every moment that you’re jealous and you feel insecure.

Author's Note

Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)
Ghazal

A Ghazal is a poem that is made up like an odd numbered chain of couplets, where each couplet is an independent poem. It should be natural to put a comma at the end of the first line. The Ghazal has a refrain of one to three words that repeat, and an inline rhyme that preceedes the refrain. Lines 1 and 2, then every second line, has this refrain and inline rhyme, and the last couplet should refer to the authors pen-name... The rhyming scheme is AA bA cA dA eA etc.

insecurities are the worst enemy upon looking up into your inner self, we can't help but feel those, after all we are all human, yet it doesn't mean you'll have to put all the trouble just to be perfect in the eyes of many... this piece reminds me of the quote i posted last few weeks ago, it says:

I may have too many insecurities at bay, yet I never let it blurry the road I take..

With that said, this piece is a good reminder, that we must not be clouded by our own self-judgement and self assessment... from time to time, we must let our soulful light be free from all the negativity...

very nice work, pretty friend.

Words of wisdom, sis!
And, one of these days, I will try to create one or two of these little structures and schemes you share.
