The page is blank
waiting to be written on
but no thoughts, no words
my mind is empty tonight.
This is me
this is who I am
I seek not, approval
nor followers,
nor friends.
Do not come to me with questions
for I have no answers
do not turn to me for advice
cuz I do not know what to say
This is me
this is who i am
when you take off the mask
and strip off the layers
I think what I want
but I do not write what I want
approval
a bitter bitter word
Can I not like whom I want without wondering what you will say?
what does it really matter
what you think?
Be true to yourself
cuz at the end of the day
when all of those who were 'friends' have left you,
and when the world does not see you
only YOU will matter.
only you.
This is me
this is who I am
if you do not like it
you came to the wrong place.
"Only you will matter"
ReplyDeletea friend of mine recently had this as his facebook status:
To the world you are one person, but to one person you may be the world!
:) and once again yossi, you have managed to put a smile on my face. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBe who you are, you're better at it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's good not to seek approval, that's an amazing trait. Although you say you don't write what you want...I think this is a good place to be.
hey altie
ReplyDeletenice poem
hi cma :) thanks.
ReplyDeletemushkie i was too tired to comment last night. i think that if you feel uncomfortable writing on your own blog then u have a problem.
Just remember, the whole world was created for you. My Rabbi talked about that on Rosh Hashanah. The reason RH is two days, is so we can crown Hashem Melech, and become Avraham Avinu because the whole world was created just for him. If, we fail to do that, we have the second day, that to pray to Hashem that we are needed and necessary in Avraham Avinu's world; because when Avraham no longer needs you in his world, you are taken out. So, be Avraham Avinu, and realize that the whole world was created just for you, and therefore the world needs you, to be, well..., you!
ReplyDeleteYes and no. There can be some issues it's ok to feel uncomofortable to write about, but that has nothing to do with your post - do you mean what you said here, "I do not write what I want" ?
ReplyDeletei mean it in a way, yes. sometimes i worry what people will think about what i wrote, or if they will like it. sometimes i feel like i cant write certain things, or i have to write only this way and not that cuz what if people dont like it and will stop reading my blog. it is at times like those that i write poems like this and remind myself that i am writing for ME and only i really matter.
ReplyDeleteThis attitude is much better than the one last week ;).
ReplyDeletenot sure if thats sarcasm. does that require a 'thanks'?
ReplyDeleteThis was one of those rare occasions when I decided not be sarcastic. Don't get used to it ;).
