You. (A Poem)

May 23, 2020Sep 14, 2020 ~ The Soulful Nib

You are not your skin colour, weight, or age.
You are the smile that flashes
Over your face at the little delights.

You are not the numbers on your mark sheet.
You are the passion and interests that
Make your soul ecstatic.

You are not your mistakes.
You are the wisdom you gain,
In learning from them.

You are not your failures.
You are the courage that stirs within,
When you emerge stronger after each fall.

You are not the number of likes you get,
You are the satisfaction that comes,
On doing your job well.

You are not others’ opinions about you.
You are how well and good,
You treat yourself.

You are not your thoughts.
You are the unique traits
That makes you, you.

Hello! I’m Chetana. A Music Buff. A Bibliophile. An Organisation Freak. A Minimalist. A Fitness Freak. Writing is something I am highly passionate about. Just as people live to eat, I live to write. I’m a Chartered Accountant by the day and a creative monster by the night (hehe :D). I aim to become a writer, an educator and an entrepreneur. In this blog, you'll find my musings, introspections, observations and occasionally, some poetry. I even review books on my Instagram page. My Pinterest and Instagram pages will help you in staying updated about the new posts I put up on the blog. Also, if you love reading, do follow me on Goodreads!
