It's me

It is dedicated to the girls who were let down by society even by parents and siblings. Get up. Be confident. You are beautiful. And love yourself Honey.

It’s me

Far across a girl walks to come abreast

With dazzling beauty of her eyes

As her latency warms up the room

The heavens and the Earth sighs too.

 

As she comes closer I found

Her blatant, red, glittery lips

Hiding some words within

She wouldn't let anyone so easily kiss.

 

The drilled art on her cheeks

Flashing faintly in her smile

Not every body gets this dimple

Have been seeing this for a while.

 

When the fairy air hugs her face

Her curly hairs touches her neck

She softly takes them away

The artistry of this damsel is not fake

 

 

 

In curiosity to contrive who is she

I deliberately looked into the mirror

I was astonished to see it was me

Thus  Perspired with anxiety and fear

 

The world never realized my elegance

Because I myself was never convinced

Now the world is changing around me

With allurement and glamour stands combined.

 

 

I will walk with head held high

I shall not be suppressed by the superior

Every child is a gift of GOD

I am bashful and modest but not inferior.

This can motivate men and women to find their inner being their self worth or rather their inner beauty blooming from their flower sometimes we let the best things in life slip away. Nice words here and as you said. Every child is a gift of GOD, and as always keep writing fellow writer.

[Mary Christabel George]

I think this is a peice that alot of teenage girls would appreciate. It is quite intellectually written, which is great. And from what I hear, violence against women in India is pretty bad. So, womens empowerment is a big deal. Great job!

[Mary Christabel George]

Absolutely...
You have caught the right nerve.
"It's me" is dedicated to all the girls who were never given opportunities and had suffered Inferiority complex.
Since I stay here I have observed some things related to Education and Empowerment. Else this is a beautiful nation too.
All the women of developing nations can understand my point of view here.

Nicely done! It's clear you put a piece of yourself into this poem, and it makes it feel even more real. Great work

[Mary Christabel George]

Thanks a ton Will :)

I am reminded of Janis Ian's At Seventeen. Although I feel this is stronger. A plaintive but strong song leading inexorably to that beautiful last line.

[Mary Christabel George]

I feel honored that it reminded you of Janis Ian.
This is a great compliment Ken.
Thank you so much.

Foreigners seldom appreciate the cultural and religious differences a native of a country exists within. It is easy to stand tall for the rights of others to do things we wish them to do when we aren't the ones to pay the cultural and day-to-day price. I respect the bravery of any woman - at any age - that succeeds for even a day to reach out for her dreams.

[Mary Christabel George]

I respect what you think and said... Thank you so much Chris.

[Chris]

you and I both know the world is seldom a forgiving place.

[Mary Christabel George]

Hmmmmm....:(

Truly breath-taking and inspirational…Love the motivation and emotion you put into the flow of your words. Great write, thank you so much for penning. :)

[Mary Christabel George]

You are welcome dear. I am glad you liked it.

[AYVID N]

Wow! Such a motivational write for all those girls unloved because they were girls...
We are so full of beauty and wisdom and yet so modest about it. Offering and giving so much and not receiving what we deserve yet loving on unconditionally.

You brought out all of this so beautifully Mary! I loved it. Pen on!

[Mary Christabel George]

Thank you so much Divya for the compassion you too have for such girls.
I am glad that you find it a motivational one.
God bless!
