Truly You!

Posted on April 10, 2020 by Shreya Joshi Posted in Poetry, Writer lifeTagged life, NaPoWriMo, Poetry

Be,
Not perfect,
Just truly you.

Follow,
Not trend,
Just your heart.

Dance,
Your move,
Not to impress.

Sing,
Your heart,
Just for yourself.

You,
Believe me,
Are truly special.

Don’t
Kill yourself,
Being someone else.

For NaPoWriMo Day 10. A Hay(na)ku.

    I too find Haiku very complicated. This happens to be a very close and simple cousin of Haiku, known as Hay(na)ku. 😬😅

    Sounds more like a twin. I can’t do structured things, I go with the flow, formless. I envy you for getting it right though.

I really relate to these! Singing can be an amazing thing when you start off singing for yourself.

  That’s an amazing advice. But I think sometimes it’s okay to blurt it out. To say you’re confused and not confident, after all no one can always be confident. 😬😬❣️
