When you are being knocked down and thrown down,
But look at you , you still stand tall.
When you are being picked and plucked and poked from your home,
But look at you, you still go long.
When you are being defeated and disassembled by your own loved ones,
But look at you , you still dance and sing as there is no tomorrow.
When the world comes crashing at your feet,
But look at you, you still pick up those pieces.
When your circumstances are not that great,
But look at you, you still do not loose hope.
Look at you, love, still here and hopeful
As nothing has happened after all!

DeleteLife is a rollercoaster ride but one must never feel defeated no matter what! Picking yourself up and taking the world with confidence is the mark of a strong person.
ReplyDeleteSuch simple words but deep meaning. "But look at you"- these words can be used in different ways and can convey different meaning. But look at you, what a beautiful meaning you have chosen. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a poem, Swati. I am wishing all these things. I dont know when I will be able to say all these words. It is as if my world has crashed all around me.
ReplyDeleteWow Swati,look at you such lovely words to inspire and make us want to try one more time.Keep up the great work.It takes courage to write poetry.
ReplyDeleteTrue sometimes you feel guilty of dancing and singing despite the circumstances around you. But sadly life goes on whether you do that or not. And we just miss out trying to hold on to past memories.

ReplyDeleteI loved how this composition revolves around hope and has a feel to instantly lift us up
ReplyDeletelovely poem. it is indeed true that hope and inherent strength gets one through everything/ I hope each person going through a hard time could sense the poetry in their lives too.
ReplyDeleteToday only I came across a youtube video from Gaur Gopal das, about being yourself. your poem reminded me of that. everyone has to be happy, strong and hopeful for themselves not for anyone else.
ReplyDeleteYes a person strength lies in the thoughts and self actions. You have very well weaved the emotions in the poetry that connects to the heart.
