Poems coming next month - About February themes!

I will be posting a few poems next month. There is always a lot happening in February, and there are lots of good themes. One of the things happening next month is  Black History Month, and I will be posting a couple of poems I did a few years ago that I think are fitting for that theme!

The focus of the poems are about people being who they are, and about anti-racism.  These have always been topics that are close to me and I feel very strongly about them. I think these topics affect everyone to some degree; whether you are a victim of bullying, or if you feel insecure about who you are, everyone faces or deals with racism and criticism in some form or fashion.

You should never change your interests or anything else about yourself just to make other people happy, no matter who they are, or who they think they are.
Don't ever sell yourself out! Keep the personality you have, it's who you're meant to be! People can either love you for who you are, or they can go to hell!
Let people hate you for everything you are, but don't ever let them love you for something you are not. Never sell yourself out, it's not worth it, it takes up too much time and energy. It's far better off to just be yourself!

If there is only one piece of advice that anyone ever takes from me, let it be this one!
You can't please everyone, no matter what you do or how you act, there will always be someone there to judge, criticize, and find something to do or say; so you might as well just be who you already are and do whatever you want.
Just like snowflakes, no two humans are exactly alike, not even twins. We may all share similar qualities and have common aims and interests, but we all have some small difference about ourselves, and that is what makes the world so great and keeps the universe so interesting. If everybody was the same the world would be a very boring place, but luckily we are not all the same, we each have our own face and we are all individuals as we are meant to be. Love yourselves as you are and don't ever change for anybody.

In some cases, when you sellout you get paid off in some way. But that pay off is really not worth losing your soul. Don't sell your soul! 
I hope you will enjoy the poems when they are posted next month, and as always, I hope you will all have as much fun reading them as I did writing them!
And most of all, I hope everyone will be able to take something away and find some courage after reading them!

Happy New Year! Goodbye 2014 Hello 2015!

Happy New Year everyone!

As we say farewell to 2014, we welcome in 2015. I hope you will enjoy this poem I did for New Years and I hope that everyone who reads it will be able to take something away from it. Have a great year everyone, and remember to never stop having fun! Life is too short, so live each day like it's the last and live life to it's fullest!

 

 

Resolutions and Revolutions

By: Vickram Bachan

 

 

And so as another year is gone,
a brand new one is beginning to dawn.

Yesterday is over and today is a new day,
tomorrow may be a blur, but let nothing stand in your way.

While another year has gone by, old memories are not dead,
new memories are added, and we wait to see what lies ahead.

Resolutions are made and goals are set,
make your dreams come true, and this the best year yet.

Keep the promises you made to others and yourself,
don't push your ambitions aside or leave them on the shelf.

Always remember and never forget,
you control your destiny, and your fortunes will be met.

Never give up, and never back down,
to get to the stars, you must start from the ground.

Conquer all obstacles and every road block,
don't ever stop trying, there's always time on the clock.

Accomplish the impossible, and prove everyone wrong,
never stop fighting and always stay strong.

Welcome new challenges and defeat them all,
always be yourself, and this will be the year you stand tall.
