Oh! Sweet Sunshine…

Oh! Sweet Sunshine…

A Poem by nitin

Oh! sweet sunshine

don't squeeze yourself
into that zero sized dress

like the other girls
in the party last night did

or don't change yourself
as per others' standards

the way some girls do
every second of their life

because

you are complete in yourself

and have eyes that sparkle,
the walk that glides,
and the smile that brightens
everything when you walk by

So, don't paint yourself
with all those chemicals

like these bimbos do
ignorant of their true beauty
and what all they can do

You don't need all this

to express yourself
or to fly, in this world

the identity that you search
is not in others' acceptance
it's in your expression
in the way you fashion

and

the happiness that you seek
is not in this milieu
it exists already here
deep inside you, within you

So, fly high, don't restrict
never inhibit or feel constraint

because you can't be contained
as you weren't meant to
you are as free as a bird

So, Oh sweet sunshine

Listen to me, as I say this

rise now and shine bright
giving a damn to those customs
and to everyone who says
change now and become someone

Because nobody can be you
but you and only you

and finally when you do it
become yourself, your true self

you will change the world.
