No
I won’t flaunt
But you see
I won’t any more
Hide
No
I won’t be proud
But you see
I won’t any more
Just stay on the side
No
I won’t lose any preciousness
Any more, in having to prove it
To every one and any one
I will just Be it

You are adorable Infinite Living, there was never a reason for flaunt or hiding, you can be very proud of yourself, and if you give your preciousness to other people, you will get back other preciousness and lot of love from the one who loves you most. I hope, that in future you will be able to write the same wonderful poems, but happy ones….: )

You and your words are so kind and precious to me 🙂 What a gift you are giving me with your assurances. I do feel like something has shifted in my poems …and I hope too that good things come through me. Your support means a lot, thank you so very much! 🙂

ohh, this makes me really happy!! You see, it starts already. We exchanged love…. ) and both are feeling better…and really I cannot see lovable persons suffering. I know, if you are feeling sad, you need to, ( I experience this by myself resently from time to time) But never forget to focus afterwords all the good things left and take all the love somebody gives you. If once your body is filled up with love, there is no space anymore for sadness!

Yes, happiness indeed! 🙂 This poem actually doesn’t reflect any current sadness for me …it is more a realization of how over the years in the past I have spent energy hiding, staying aside or simply trying to prove. Thankfully I am way more comfortable and confident now …and I allow myself to receive from kind souls like you so I keep my space replenished 🙂 Grateful to be in beautiful company my friend.

Beautiful, I just learnt that one doesn’t have to try and analyse poetry, just absorb the beauty of it and the poet/ poetess.
Now I see it clearly ❤️

I think this is right on one side. But is it not nice to let show – not proof- what we feel? We all need love and warmth. If I trust I can easily give love and warmth and show my emotions and I will get back all I give. O.k. sometimes trusting is just hard and this blocks everything!

when it comes to who you are, you must decide for yourself this is so true! As I also grow with my life and my environment I really appreciate the opinions of people I admire, appreciate or love. For me this is very important aswell.

Such an excellent poem.. Filled with insights into how we spend a life time trying to please others. When all we have to do is BE ourselves and love what we do.. And you finished it off perfectly
“No
I won’t lose any preciousness
Any more, in having to prove it
To every one and any one

You said it perfectly, it does feel like a whole lifetime to me that I spent trying to please others. And now feels like another lifetime where I am getting used to just being myself easily without too much negotiation, feeling the true joy of expressing from simply being truly. Thank you so very much for repeating those last lines for me 🙂 🙂

no you should not only try to please, because your are lovely like you are. I tried to and I think I failed. Anyway you can not force somebody to like you.

oh I think there is a mistake….you HAVE not to please, because you are lovely….I wanted to say….and you can not force anyhow….there is love or not….but just go on with “loving”, not with pleasing….
