Poor me
I started beautifying me
I tried prettifying me
I learned embellishing me
I stuck on to the obsession of decorating me
As I thought it is the important requirement of all
As I thought It is the sought out thing by all
I forgot I could dance and mesmerise all
I forgot I could sing and tranquilise all
I forgot I could paint and hypnotise all
I forgot I could write and influence all
I forgot:
I can do many more things and activate all
I wasted all my talents for the obsession to look perfectly
How sorry I am
It is only I woke up when I spellbound listening the people sing
It is only I realized when I awestruck seeing the people dance
It is only I came to know when I Bewitched by the paintings people draw
It is only an eye opener for me when I read the Writings people penned
I thought of my skills only when I learned about the other’s skills
And the importance attached to them
More than the beauty
Poor me
I learned in totality
Beauty is not the entirety
Skill is also a celebrity
