Overtly Sensitive
Opportunity made
Constant overtures
Provoking me to go for worldly success
Oh, happier me failed to pick them up...
But then it’s alright, isn’t it?
Millions of overt invitations
To follow the herd
Headed for illusive heavens
Ignorant me let my dreams lead…
But then it’s alright, isn’t it?
Every hit on humanity
Leaves feelings of hurt
People have branded me
‘Overtly Sensitive'
But then it’s alright, isn’t it?
Overt facial expression of happiness
And an unconcealed bubbling enthusiasm
Invite continual wrath from
A lot of less than ordinaries
But then it’s alright, isn’t it?
Temptations abound
What with overt behavior
Heart & mind keep fighting
No compromises, God wins
But then, it’s alright, isn’t it?
Happy & sensitive
Ignorant dreamer, overtly enthusiastic
Yet accepted by
Cuddling parts of my heart
Oh, that's indeed alright, isn’t it?
Alright indeed!
ReplyDeleteGo ahead. God bless you.

It sounds like you are struggling a bit with yourself. I think in the end, it is alright.
ReplyDeleteDear Ramesh,
ReplyDeleteGood Morning!
The flowers are in full bloom,
In various hues and sizes,
They just bloom and spread fragrance,
Without asking is it ok with you?:)
Everything is alright,
As you are a kind hearted dost,
With all the soft feelings,
And a flow of sincere words,
That win the hearts of many!
Wishing you a wonderful and energetic week ahead,
Sasneham,
Anu

ReplyDeleteyes indeed it is alright to be overly sensitive. i love this poem and the language you use it. i read it almost 5 time.
ReplyDeletegreat poem.
World has it's definition of success, you have defined success on your own.
ReplyDeleteWorld defines happiness in it's terms, you have defined happiness in your own.
You overtly write about this success and happiness of yours and let the world accept.
