Learning life the hardest way

Finding Yourself.. ✨

When you look at the mirror, do you like what you see?
Is the place that you are right now where you were supposed to be?

What do you find in yourself or what face you probably recognise?
When you flip through the old album, doesn't this transition of yours surprise?
A toddler on a tricycle or a fourth grader standing behind his science project.
A high schooling awkward adolescent kid or an elegant peaceful adult in his graduation dress.

None of these faces are identical to the one staring at the mirror right now.
And your own self feels dejected in it's own body like "hey you're not allowed."

You know what's the exact issue going inside you so far?
You under evaluate yourself ignoring who and what you truly are.

Alongwith all the trauma and pain you have built experiences as well.
And the real beauty is embracing your scars, letting yourself out of the shell.

There's a constant running monologue planning all the schemes and strategies.
No matter what sort of difficulties arise, if we lose hope, that's our real tragedy.

Why don't we see a person marvellously created, loved and full of potential?
Instead of comparing yourself with anyone, being better than your past self is essential.

Just remember one thing that is important to know about oneself.
You are worth the efforts, time and energy needed to develop yourself.

Here I mention the quote of Respected Dalai Lama XIV for using one of his quote in my poem that goes like this: "No matter what sort of difficulties, how painful experience is, if we lose our hope, that's our real disaster."

I think everyone needs to know this.
