What You Can Be Poem by Roselyn A.M.

What You Can Be

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes we can't be the one we want us to be,
The dream that we once mold will always be just dream
Hard work and patience, waiting for the time to see,
The outcome of hardships are never meant to be.

Most people do moan, complain and are feeling blue,
Taking everything as nonsense, no one is to be true.
Time that passes by is tiring and boring too,
Nothing was ever done and hollowness will do.

There are so much chaos, frustrations and strains,
Peace, contentment, happiness are hard to regain.
Sometimes it's simply not possible to get in,
Desperately needed someone just to be within.

But why do we stay in a world of nothingness,
Where you can't find the peace and real happiness
Stand, go out and explore, feel the air that blows,
Be the best, show yourself and ignore the flaws.

Gladden your heart, cleanse your thought, magnify your soul,
Soothe your mind, strengthen with the goodness of all.
Be with your friends, good or bad, please don't be annoyed,
Just be yourself, don't wear a mask and you'll enjoy.

Spark your day, be grateful that you have led a life,
Speak to God, hear Him and you will be inspired.
Earn lots of wisdom from the experience we found,
Boost your confidence and feel no fear around.

For us to have a happy life and peaceful spirit,
We do have to accept that all things, we can't get.
Dreams are to be broken for somebody's best.
Just be open minded, face the task to its greatest.

If you can't be the sun in the sky so blue
Because so much clouds are hiding you so.
Why can't be a comet that falls high and low,
Though you are rare to be seen you'll be magic to view.

We can't all be the flowers that bloom beautifully,
And be the center of attraction for the people to see.
Isn't it more important for you to become and be,
The roots that get water for the flowers to gleam.

Likewise, if I can't be the designer of bridge,
The engineer of buildings and homes to live.
I can be the caretaker of my children's lives,
The molder of their behavior and their desires.

So what's the use of dreaming when images are blurred,
It's better to stop reminiscing and just be tough.
Forget the impossible and be realistic enough,
For us to have peace of mind and be on the top.

Don't lose hope and have courage, still you can be,
Someone with purpose, be productive actively.
Though you stumbled and failed in fulfilling your dream,
Your goal is not to end up, now is the time to begin.

A very nice poem. Beautifully written. I have learned how to differentiate dreams from reality, to contain dissent, have self-contentment, build self-confidence, not to sulk and be reclusive when one can enjoy life, of being one's true self, to learn from our experience, to differentiate between magnanimity and humility, one need not be at the top to be felt and seen, not all is lost when one fails but it is just time to begin. So many lessons in life. 10 for this.

Gladden your heart, cleanse your thought, magnify your soul, Soothe your mind, strengthen with the goodness of all. Be with your friends, good or bad, please don't be annoyed, Just be yourself, don't wear a mask and you'll enjoy.................oh what a kind of inspirational poetry where every stanza glows like flecks of truth to guide the life with light of wisdom trudging even through the harrowed darkness hunting in sorrow, as if burning ember to ignite in soul the by audacity of hope yet beaconing bliss of own god from within on our path of mortality by immortality of truth, that parades with pride and prejudice of crystals of reality, wonderful write by ingenuity,10+++, thanks for sharing
