A reason to live

Posted on by Reena Saxena 
I wondered why they did not like me
I was doing my best
at whatever I was good at
but yet …
they did not like me
I was not like them…
 
I moved on
doing my best
at whatever I was good at
there were many more
who did not like me
I was not like them…
 
It took a while
for me
to cross the portals
into my inner world
and know that
I’ve been looking
at the wrong onlookers
 
I am not like them
and never will be…
there are many more
who want to be like me
whether they say it or not
 
I move ahead
doing my best
whatever I am good at
I see a tribe
growing around me
and know
that the journey has not been in vain
 
there’s a world out there
which does not think I’m junk
Maybe they like my spunk
in doing
whatever I am good at
and find a reason to live…

  7. This is magnificent. A message of hope that should be broadcast! I love these words especially “for me
    to cross the portals
    into my inner world
    and know that
    I’ve been looking
    at the wrong onlookers”
