Concept No. 12 - The Secret Special

giphy (9).gif

Somewhere inside our heart,
we still believe,
that we are a piece of art,
that we are unique.

This belief of ours was once strong enough,
even stronger than the reality, our fantasy was tough,
no matter what the elders said,
we only trusted what we had in our head,
we believed we could do anything, our childhood had no fear, it had no dread.

But here we are all, running in the same race,
we still believe we are special, & you know what, that's what was our mistake !!

We believe that we are special,
and we ignore the world,
we forget to compete and wrestle,
and don’t make any effort.

We don’t realise we might be unique, but so is everyone else,
when we had to stand united,
we stand with conceit, ego of the self.

Yes we are all special, there is no doubt in that,
but to prove it to the world, we need to attempt.

But we do nothing,
we are all filled with proud,
feeling extraordinary in childhood,
but later filled with doubt.

Because we did nothing to prove our worth,
we turned into that rabbit
in between a race who slept on the berth.

The rabbit believed he was unique,
and didn’t make any effort,
the tortoise staggered as he was ordinary
and that’s what made him special !!

So in the end I would just say,
you might be exceptional but you need to make your way,
the world doesn't know what you know in your heart,
prove this to them by stepping out of your zone of comfort.

Welcome back to steemit :)

Yes we are all special, there is no doubt in that,
but to prove it to the world, we need to attempt.
------- Very deep meaning. But, I think, the reason for this is more inclined towards the fear of failure. In childhood, we even didn't know how to take a single step, we fell down, stoop up again, started walking, then running. It took us time to reach this. Now, the failure of fear stops us taking the 1st step. I wish, we could have our childhood attitude back...

There are many factors responsible for failure. Fear is one of them no doubt. But for some people, this too is one reason what I displayed in the poetry.

Thanks for your comment:)

You are right; we can't expect the world to recognize our talents by hiding; we have to earn recognition from the world.

Yes You get it right :)

Very philosophical thoughts: if everyone is special then special is not enough. One has to step up to truly be special. For you, stepping up has become a habit, therefore, you are special.

Thanks for reading it church boy ;)

I really like the write-up it's really nice... well written and motivated too...

I am glad you received some motivation. :)

Stepping out of the comfort zone, that's how we do it 😊. Good poem.

Yeah !!!
Thanks for reading ;)

Its beautiful. It just got me thinking. Assume I'm nothing to be something? wow. I need to read more from you.

Thanks dear. Keep visiting !! You will find amazing philosophies every time you come here. :)

The last line is my favourite, "prove this to them by stepping out of your zone of comfort.".

Being outside my comfort zone is where I try to be. It's where I learned to dance and share art and speak publicly, ect. I'ma follow ya.

Being there makes us nervous but it can be taken as fun !!

Helps us see new opportunities and enjoy and experiment in our lives.

Thanks for the comment :)

Thank you

awesome! i like poetry

amazing! Thank you.

Yes, we are all special. It's just that sometimes we don't see than in us because we tend to listen to what others are saying.

Its a wonderful poem, our journey from childhood to adulthood gets so much contaminated and conditioned. You can only become special when you understand how special others are also. Ego can take you down. Beauty is within you and all around you also.
Thanx for sharing this @himshweta

This is filled with truth... We are all unique but we all need to prove herself in one way or another. If we remain silent the world will not know what we are made of. Nice poetry.

You got it right :D.

Thanks for voting and commenting dear. I will check your blog now :)

An interesting philosophical statement, and one that carries with it a lot of weight. Some say that those who know most are the first to admit how little they know, for they know enough to know all that they don't, while those who know the lease are blindly confident, not realizing the steep precipice that is their lack of knowledge and awareness.

This sentiment and more is captured here, overconfidence has led to the downfall of rulers, generals and kings, one must always guard their minds and hearts by keeping in mind the lessons of those who came before us.

Thank you so much for the reminder of these things, @himshweta, it is no small task. Thank you for bringing more light into the world through awareness.

I am glad you could relate with it :) Thanks for your time.
Thanks for the vote and comment. :)

I will have a look at your blog now :)

If we leave the judgement behind, we can admit we all are here to support each other and visit with our community.

Yes exactly!!! There is no requirement of judging anyone !! Not even ourselves ☺️. We should just explore and enjoy our trip on earth :)

Thank you for the votes and comment dear :)

No doubt everyone is unique & special in someway or the other but before proving our speciality/uniqueness to the world some of us have to find what our speciality is. Some find it sooner than later. Some are afraid that they are different as others don't understand them and discard their uniqueness , but everyone should embrace it being unique or rather being positively abnormal and do something meaningful with our uniqueness.

Yes we can find it out with time but still that feeling of being special always remains with us in childhood.

Thanks for taking the time to read it and comment. I will check your blog now :D

Stumbled upon you on discord and I might say @himshweta I'm ❤❤❤ing YOU!giphy-downsized-large.gif
