He wanted to have hope (Original poem)

He wanted to have hope
He wanted to live a good life
He wanted to love
He wanted to smile
He wanted to be happy
He wanted to live for what he believed in
But they didn’t care about his hope
They wanted to box him within narrow domestic walls
They didn’t care about his good life
They didn’t care about his love
They didn’t care about his lover
They didn’t care about his life
They didn’t give him a chance to have hope
I say we avenge all these fallen hope warriors
I say we say no to family rules, caste, religion, societal pressure
I say we say no to ego
I say we say no to hatred
I say we say no to jealous
I say we say no to anger
I say we say no to control
I say we say no to manipulation
Because maybe one day he will be reborn in another life
And he will still have hope
And maybe we will care about his hope
And maybe we will care about his life
And maybe he will be able to live for what he believed in.

What’s confidence? – An Original Poem

Daily writing prompt
Who is the most confident person you know?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What’s confidence?

What’s confidence?
To be humble, yet fiercely brave
To be reasonable, understanding of your enemy’s pain
To not be violent, but argue peacefully.

What’s confidence?
It’s not about speaking in a charismatic way
It’s not about lying so subtly
It’s not about manipulating to get your own way.

What’s confidence?
To be honest about your needs
To draw healthy boundaries
To respect yourself.

What’s confidence?
It’s not something to show others
It’s how you feel about yourself
It’s about your values.

-Anirban Saren

If I had to say who the most confident person I know is, it would be-

Not one person, but all kinds of people who share value of humanity.

And guess what everyone can be a confident and good human beings.

But if I had to say one person’s name- my mother.

She is the most confident person I know.

Thank you my dear followers/readers/writers.

Honestly I get social anxiety in the comments sections of some of your posts. Y’all know so much more than me and I feel like if I comment, I’ll look like a fool. But I will try to comment more.
