Lost In A World Of My Own

All too often we hide from ourselves because we are afraid of what others may think. Well I have recently decided that as long as I am happy with myself that has to count for something. I was taught by someone special to reach in and pull out the confidence that I have deep inside and wake up to a bright day and accept the smiles and love that is offered to me by so many, of course I will gladly return it ten times over and as usual my smiles are free 24/7.

Lost In A World Of My Own

I look forward to the mornings,
When my days are full and bright,
I can’t wait to open up my eyes,
 To another day to turn out right.
I can’t wait to see your face,
As it shares a smile with me,
And I’m sure you feel the return,
As I return it willingly.

I pick up my guitar to play,
I sing it loud for all to hear,
I’ve found the confidence within,
It was hiding there somewhere.
Even if they don’t want to listen,
I don’t care for I am in my home,
I’m here just pleasing myself,
Lost in a world of my own.

I pick at the chords, a time or two,
Until I get it down pat to play,
They don’t have to listen, if it hurts,
For I am pleasing me in my own way.
I sing with a joy inside my soul,
And love hiding in my heart,
Something I want to share with you,
Right from the very start.

So I’ll come searching for it,
When my day is full and bright,
That smile and love you share,
That makes each day seem so right.
I don’t mind what others have to say,
If they chose to leave me all alone,
Cause I am pleasing to myself,
Lost in a world of my own.

They do say that charity begins at home right? How can other love, honor and respect if you do not love yourself first. Learn who YOU are and stand tall......

Be safe,

I agree with the other reviewers, Rose, and your premise for this poem is right on. As long as we are able to please ourselves, nothing else matters. If we have joy in our hearts and love ourselves, sharing joy with others and sharing our love is much easier.

Outstanding message!

Pleasing oneself always comes before anyone else can be pleased. Good write.

A wonderfully uplifting poem!

I have learned that if you are pleased with yourself - you can easily please others. That 'shining' from within does, indeed, radiate outward for all to see.

Blessings,
Kathy

you are so correct in your dialog--it is very hard for many to truly be open--you have taken the advice well and your confidence surely shines through

Very sage, Rose. I truly believe we have to love ourselves, and be happy with who we are, before we can love and be happy with others.

It's good that you have discovered the inner peace naturally. Some people have to depend on a pill -- it's called "Damitol"

I worry about that too sometimes; people tend to judge me because I am short, chubby, and physically disabled (walk on crutches). Sad when they can't look beyond all that. Still, I try to be happy, try to stay positive; I don't like being rude to others, and I try to treat others as I would like to be treated: with dignity and RESPECT. If people are rude, then I let 'em know, no question; I don't hold back! LOL Great write, Rose; well done! BRAVA!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

Never give a hoot what others may be thinking, they're prolly not thinking anyhow.
Believing in God confidence, is far healthier than self confidence, His just don't fail nor is frail...

I love this poem. It speaks to those of us who have traveled the same road. I am sooooooooooo glad that you choose to please yourself because it spills over to the rest of us.
My very best regards,
