The unique one

Someone said i want to be as intelligent as Einstein ,

Other said i want to be as kind as Mother Teresa ,

Yet another said i want to be as brave as Malala Yousoufzai ,

Then , I wondered why people want to become like others .

Why to be like someone?

When you are the unique one.

Everyone born is unique on this earth,

with his own precious value and worth.

With his own unique abilities ,

And his own disabilities .

Why to be like someone ?

When you are the unique one.

As  fingerprints of two individual can never match ,

dreams and possibilities too  can never match .

Why to compare and compete yourself with other ,

when you yourself are your most strong competitor.

Why to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

The story of tortoise and rabbit still keeps on inspiring me ,

the tortoise kept on running with his own speed you see.

But the rabbit compared himself with tortoise and thinking himself faster slept ,

but the tortoise inspite of knowing that he was slow than rabbit won because oblivious of anything else he gave his best.

Why to be like someone ?

when you are the unique one.

The story of tortoise and rabbit's race ,

isn't different from  our life's case.

A person who keeps on improving himself everyday , every moment better than previous,

Wins this race of life than the others who inspite of having qualities , competes with others and become over ambitious.

Why  to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

Life is not the graph where after a point , motion stops ,

rather it is the synonym of continuous motion and progress.

Everyday comes with new energy and challenges too.

And you in desire to become more better than previous day , 

surpass the one who were in front of you as they competed with others than themselves.

Why to be like someone?

When you are the unique one.

I  don't want to be intelligent , kind and brave like others ,

Because I am Riddhi , one of the kind.

I want to be me , what others say never bothers

me, so please keep in mind.

Why to be like someone?

when you are the unique one.

This reminds me an inspiring ad of Classmate stationery!
Of course I believe there's something unique in us...And I feel bad when at present successful people have to face comparison mostly! No matter with which legend you're being compared but you're unique along with your ability!
It's strong write riddhi!
Keep it up😊

Wow..amazing..What you have written and what you have done is beyond any compliment and beyond imagination .. I have enjoyed this from the beginning to the end... and Yes it is absolutely right that there is something different and unique in everyone..and just we need to recognize that uniqueness..
And if we are comparing ourselves with someone, we are insulating ourself and nothing else ...
Very beautiful composition...
And my favoritecreation also..
Love it....
Keep writng...

I like the idea behind the poem, which you've beautifully expressed.

[Riddhi]

Thanks for your review..

Inspirationally, insightful poem. About being just being happy with oneself. Instead of looking always towards others for motivation and stimulation to make them feel better and be better. But to look within themselves for greater greatness as they are unique within themselves. First and foremost.

Thanks for your review...I am glad to know that you liked it...

Really the classmate company should put your poem on their cover page. It will be way more logical than other things they do for advertising. First of all your poem is up to point and frank. It doesn't try to bridge the gap with long incomprehensible vocabulary and mystically structured sentences. Second, the examples you give are framed uniquely unlike several poets who use cliche lines. Keep on writing works like this.

[Riddhi]

I am really glad that you liked it...now i am actually wishing that classmate company should use my poem for its advertising...Haha...Just another daydream of mine!!No , not actually daydream , because its already night in india..

[Shubham Sharma]

Or better start your own brand of notebooks and make your poem your cover page. I bet you will recieve the best word-of-mouth advertising.

[Riddhi]

Is it??? You are joking , right..By the way , in future we will do one work we will launch our brand of notebooks together and we will earn more than Mukesh Ambani...Haha..Just kidding..

'Life is not the graph where after a point , motion stops , rather it is the synonym of continuous motion and progress. - Everyday comes with new energy and challenges too.'

Whilst we can all find examples to trust ourselves to, you're so right.. each of us IS unique and - nothing, absolutely nothing, can ever alter that. Your thinking, your attitude, is magnificent! The repeated last two lines of each stanza are like a proud banners. Brava!

Thank you..I am glad that you liked it..
