I Am What I Am Comments

so much anguish, a strong purpose and will power are exhibited in this poem...

Writing can be used as a healing process. This poem sounds like a need to heal by understanding one's actions to another once loved or maybe still loved while the other seems indifferent to that love given to them. Control of another person is strange and sorrowful state of affairs. It is generally done out of fear. The voice of the poem has realized that fear and has taken control of their personal feelings without surrendering the relationship. But if it too is an unhealthy place to be. For they are at the whims of the person's anger. They should not be trusted at all. a poet friend RH Peat

a brilliant poem from china. total out pouring from heart. i liked your bold style. mr.ravi, s detaIed comments itself speaks well.. voted10 surya.

I appreciate such an outlook and your boldness. All the struggle of an individual is for internal and external freedom and all the inventions and comfortabilities are byproducts of this thought as one can see. Just to site an example, take the invention of telephone. The development of telephony to the present concept of mobile and much more is the result of such a thought. The moment mankind thinks that it has attained complete freedom, all the future inventions would automatically stop. The moment mankind thinks that he has attained complete freedom in the social, moral front, all the future laws would automatically stop. Actually, all the laws are really meant to give more freedom to us - I mean the basic concept. As a human being, how far can we go in the level of freedom in the present set up is a question. We have so many tangles in various walks of life. Within this material life, what we actually need is an adjustment. We can't break every law and system to live the way we would like. (Osho felt that all systems led man to slavery and he tried to break all the systems to live in a free manner. What happened afterwards? He brought in a new system that was quite impracticable. You can't do away with systems and laws. At the most, you can bring in reformation to systems and laws) . What we can have is complete internal freedom and this attitude would slowly take us away from material slavery too. Freedom is actually a thought and is not at all matrerial. Internal freedom can be achieved only out of a sense of detachment and discharging our responsibilities in an impassionate way. Co-existence is more important. We may think that our parents and this society are pinning us down but if we can view the things from their standpoint, they are only telling us out of their basic anxiety and nature. We can't change their Nature. Can we change OUR nature? Tomorrow, the same story would repeat when we would be telling this and that to our children. We will surely say that we are only trying to correct our children out of our views about life and not interfering in their matters but will our children be pleased with that remark? Surely not. Our parents and the society too maintain the same view as we are having now. This is the truth. We have to accept this. If we can accept life as a variety and not as a case of diversity, the problem is solved. Within variety, we will get all sorts of societies, individuals, civilizations and different voices. If we can view this with equanimity and be able to stay as a lotus in the waters of life, our life is really blest.

Hi Aparna your poem has reminded me of my poem MALAISE where an innocent girl happened to be robbed with her womanhood at at her early age.. for more you can go thro' the most impressive part in thy art lies with the following lines for me Lift my veil and see I am Durga Saraswati Kaali** That is what I am…. I stood up and survived All your lies and illusion Undulated by your fake promises hi! go ahead you can. 10+++
