Poems
5d
In our actions lies our well being.
In our actions lies our well-being.
We rise each day,
Do our work with courage,
Shining like the sun without fear.
Ambitious,
We strive to make everything work,
Perfectly, seamlessly.
But then,
We become obsessed with glory
Craving recognition,
Longing for appreciation.
Who doesn’t want others to be proud?
Yet this desire builds a cage
A prison of expectations
Where our happiness becomes theirs to decide.
We can’t control their reactions,
Their thoughts, their praise,
Or what they expect from us.
So instead,
Let us take joy in the doing
Find freedom in our intentions.
Not to be thanked,
Not to be seen,
But simply to live… freely and fully.
What are we without others recognizing our deeds?
