OSI Prompt 124 : OVERT

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?

  4. Dear Ramesh,
    Good 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

  9. World has it's definition of success, you have defined success on your own.
    World 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.
