OctoPoWriMo 2013 Day 4
At times am so hard on me,
aspirations and ambitions
always on the mind,
and
achievements counts
many a times
I have told that to myself.
At times
I take insults so much
to my heart that
in anger I cry.
At times
am so harsh to you all
being my parents,husband
and friend is not
easy at all I know
but
you usually keep quiet
and love me as I am.
Have I forgotten
to be gentle
to myself,
to let go of things,
to breathe in peace,
rather than rush into things.
Have I forgotten to live
a life as it is.
Whatever
It is time
to be gentle
to you
to me
to poetry
and let it flow freely.

I think we could all relate to this. The prompt is a timely one, to make us think - and act.

I could relate..how grateful i am to have found such great writers here...
Amen to that last! I need to remember that, every day. Thank you for this lovely poem!
Sometimes we're too hard on ourselves. I know I am. And it's difficult not to be in such a fast paced, competitive world, but I guess we need to step back, take a deep breath and give ourselves a break. This is a lovely poem full of self awareness.
