A Spectator Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Nnabuchi Akpeh, Nigeria Dec 28, 2006

Per chance I were to be a Spectator
Watching the "Self"
Go through his daily routine
Would I find him worthy of me
Would I wish he were not
Would I wonder
He's being victimized
He's playing the victim
Can I justify his esteem
Can I build his confidence
Would he gain from my insight
Were his ways to change
Then I wouldn't be me!

but dont you think that change is the only constant thing in this world? i think life is a learning process.. for me, we dont have to be perfect because no one is. what matter is that we learn from our imperfection... self-worth is a life long quest...what matters is that we aim and try to be the bes-version-of-ourselves..



Coming out of you....

That was a nice view to go as a poet because sometimes overview are good even as dangerous as they could, may be. I love the Idea. And I hope you gain all the greater insights you will ever need. Keep it up! Peace and love!
