The power of being YOU...

this is a poems which talks about the powers that have freely been given to you and helps us weigh how we use them...

You can make others happy,
or you can make them sad..

you can encourage others,
or you can demoralize them..

You can quieten someone bitterly weeping,
or you can cause someone to weep..

You can love people,
or you can hate them..

You can be a good friend,
or you can be a great foe..

You can be like a cool breeze,
or you can be a grand storm..

You can be interesting,
or you can be irritating..

You can be the best source of inspiration,
or you can be the huge source of degradation..

You can be very precious,
or you can be really useless...

You can make others feel great joy,
or you can make them feel deep pain..

You can turn others to be optimistic,
or you can turn them to be big sadists...

These are the powers, given freely
to you,
and its totally upon you,
that what out of these,
you choose...
And these make the person,
who today, are you.

these are your powers of being  you.....
given to you, so that
you can easily choose,what
goes really well for you..
and the world knows you,
for what qualities you deeply
have in you...
and not that, which you and your heart
clearly knows,
should not lie in you..!
so, whatever you are today,
please be true to you....
and celebrate your powers of being....
......YOU.

This has a great message as well. We were given free will to choose, and many of us have chosen poorly. I guess given my negative view of the world and those in it, I am choosing to be demoralizing. However, when I look, there doesn't seem to be much reason to choose differently, as it appears there really is no other choice.

A lot of the time, I also feel useless, rather than precious. Is that really a choice?

This, for me at least, is both uplifting and depressing in equal measure. However, it is really thought provoking.

Thanks for sharing this.

I really like the positioning of the opposite ends of each action. It reads a little starker than your poetry usually does, but I see this is because you are talking about the power of free will, that gift that we love and struggle with. Those couplets of opposition really draw the reader in so you have his total attention for the last two fervent persuasions. Very nice, very solid.

'You can be like a cool breeze,
or you can be a grand storm.' I love this line!
This poem is so simple and the message is so clear! You can be whatever you want to be, it is your own choice. It is up to you whether you use fire as a source of light or just burn yourself. Great job! Keep writing!

we have the power to heal wounds, to ease pain, to bring joy...

if only we would do that more often than the opposite...

an insightful write.

I agree with your poem. We decide if we will be kind or heartless. A wise person balance each decision. I like the purpose and the reason for the poem. A strong ending to the outstanding poetry.
