True Self!

Vatsala Verma

When you were born,
The sages and worthies must have carried you,

On their heads, oh what GREAT WOMAN you are
Meant to be HONORED AND RESPECTED;

You are a life giver, a miracle maker,
Who binds and keeps everyone together;

You are the FEARLESS AND COURAGEOUS one
Like a soldier battling on an enemy ground,

You are that DAUNTLESS WOMAN,
who inspires not only the people In your surroundings;

but also the one
who keeps sneaking, peeing and wondering about the purity of your soul;

Your soul is massive and immeasurable,
Now is when you understand how to live and let go;

Now is when you walk with DIGNITY,
And stand up for yourself even if it means STANDING ALONE;

Your heart is kind and generous,
Admiring your scars and inner beauty with a smile;

You have learnt to embrace,
And stand by the truth in a non-violent struggle;

You are a QUEEN who carries an UNSEEN CROWN on your head,
And hold everyone in a wide drape of your heart;

You support others to choose their favorite color in the VIBGYOR
And inspire them to keep flagging their rainbow during stormy and thundery days;

How do you manage to do that?
O BOUNDLESS WOMAN!

Polishing the mirror of your heart continuously,
So that each person can reflect back with clarity;

You are the author and destiny maker of your own story
So GET UP AND GO;

Go BEHIND YOUR DREAMS, fly as high as you can,
your spirit of endurance and strength will make you win;

You have been through a lot,
Fighting with doubts and criticism;

It is the SHARPNESS IN YOUR EYES
And the WARMTH IN YOUR SMILE;

It is the LIVELINESS OF YOUR VOICE,
And MAGNETISM IN YOUR APPEARANCE;

It is the DANGEROUS CURVATURES OF YOUR BODY,
And the GENTLENESS OF YOUR HANDS;

This makes you as great a warrior with shield,
Spreading courage and love, it is the way you believe;

Walk with your head high and heart pumping with happiness and faith,
Believe in the TRUE POWER WHICH RESIDES WITHIN;

It is above the capacity of an ordinary man to understand you,
Because you deserve to be around someone of your being;

You’re Highness! YOU ARE INCREDIBLY AND SUPREMELY A NOBLE WOMAN,
Who stands with the crowd but completely stands out from them.
