"Be Yourself"

A closed box

Stifled breaths

Grabbing holds

A very restless mind...

Lock it someday

Drop it from the highest peak.

You were once a swimmer newborn

dive deep in the soothing turquoise,

Quench the child in you

blow the dandelion,

Immerse in the melody of nature

stomp on the fall-leaves,

Move the inflexible do the difficult

dance on your favorite tune,

Throw away the glooms

dress up in Saffron-Orange,

Let the Earth be your piano

wear the symphony of anklets,

Dry the tears in your eyes

Adorn them with the deep of kohl.

...Yes, for once "Be Yourself"

Today, let the mask drop

let the truth reign

let the soul be free!

This poem is written for the Poets on the Page's first prompt-January 2016. It was to explore yourself, un-become what you are not, drop everything that isn't you and embrace the real you.
