I believe in me

By A_shy_dove, Hubli, India

There's only one thing I believe,
I believe in me.
So what if I am not the smartest?
My hard earned knowledge is worthy.
So what if I haven't yet got the Grandee?
I know that I have the precious ability to repartee.

I just can't believe in fashion,
but I believe in interaction.
I've come to know that one's mind is highly reliable,
but worthy only if it's remissible.

Our mind is just like a crude diamond,
we should carve it so what if we swirl?
It is not as hard as operating an opera,
It is just as flexible as hydra.

I know I will grab the golden chances confidently,
and I will never compromise with my originality.
I want you to listen, my tensed heart,
that there is one thing I truly believe,
I BELIEVE IN ME..!!

The confidence in this poem is simply radiant, as I imagined you intended it to be. I like the philosophy of it, and the way in which you relayed it to us. The dove needs to be internally strong as it flies through the turbulent air. :)

Namaskaar raven. I have been thinking for a while what to say in response to your comment. As you might have noticed, I am not very good at socialising. And I think its rude not to respond to a person who has taken the pains to read my poem and then post his comments. But I would like to say that I am veeeeerryyyyyyyyy happy that you took out the time to do so. Thank you very much.... :-)

Oh, I'm very glad! And I am delighted to! You are by no means socially inadequate; and even if I thought you were, I'm the same way, so it wouldn't matter to me. :)

What is the meaning of 'namaskaar?'

It's the Indian way of saying hello. Namaskaar and Namaste mean the same. They are both Sanskrit words.

Oh.. I forgot to say that these words can also be used when ending a meeting or conversation.. :-)

Hmm. So it can 'namaskaar' can be both a greeting and a goodbye, of a sort?

Right. No separate words are there for goodbye and hello. It's a very polite and ancient way of greeting.

Perhaps, in a way, if you believe in yourself, you believe in everything.

Beautiful poem, Dove, it's voice is loud and clear and strong.
