Poem : 🌷 " Let's Do Our Best "...
Poetess : Tilottama Vijay Lele

People will always have something to say
No matter how carefully we move or stay

We tiptoe through life, hurting no one,
N yet find ourselves misunderstood one

When we succeed voices will get louder
When we fail they’ll turn into whispers...

Many'll comment on our choices…
Without ever having to make them face 

Like every step we take is being watched
Being constantly observed n criticised...

People who don't even know our story...
Or about d weight we constantly carry...

They only understand what they want to.
When we do our thing n stand our ground

They'll call us difficult n uncharacteristic
If we follow dreams, will call us unrealistic

N when we choose peace over chaos,
They'd say that we easily gave up tasks 

It's exhausting to realise that one version,
Will never be enough for everyone...

Der'll be days when their words'd echo
We replay in mind n wonder if we're so…

We'd doubt our voice, worth n decisions
We'd forget that they’ve bad intentions

They just want to see d surface only
N they’ll mistake it for d whole story...

D truth’s we can't explain that to everyone
Any amount of honesty will stop no one...

Learning to let go of that, is painful,
But it can also be freeing n helpful...

Their opinions R shaped by their fears
Access to our truth, no one deserves…

It's their frustrations n unfinished battles.
Hence what they say about us is hateful

Not every comment deserves our energy,
Not every judgment needs our response

It’s not easy living with this awareness…
We need to stop absorbing outside voices

It takes courage to choose d cause...
We learn, “our life isn't lived for applause”

Not everyone is meant to see that way…
N in our life not everyone is meant to stay

People will always have something to say.
But we'll live with our own choices,..

We've to stop explaining our own life
To people who' ve predecided otherwise

Hence let them go from our life quietly
As it is we should leave them, silently

We’ll continue moving forward so that,
Our heart, words n d truth remain intact.

Whatever we do, something people'll say
Let's do our best n achieve success…
