I Am Important #AToZChallenge

They said- "You are a garbage-bin.
You can only attract filth & sin.
You are idiotic; you have no talent."
I decided- "I am important."

They hurled abuses, threw refuse,
Treated me like gross stale news.
I still held onto my nature innocent.
I decided- "I am important."

They filled me to the brim;
And when things got really grim,
The garbage-van was sent...
I decided- "I am important."

It was interesting to see,
How I got cleaned thoroughly!
No more stinking content!
I decided- "I am important."

Do you feel Garbage-bins are important? Do you feel you are important?

I'm participating in my maiden #AToZChallenge. I For - I, Important, Innocent, Interesting
My Theme is- Poems About Life.

I, Me And Myself

“Who am I?” I ask myself seriously.
The sands of time show a pretty reflection.
What others see isn’t the complete me...
There’s so much more than first-impression.

I Felt Rich!

I felt rich when I got to board an AC-Bus going my way-
Yesterday when I started for the local-market...
Also as I got a seat & didn't have to stand!
My purse made me feel rich when I had to buy a ticket.
