NaPoWriMo Day2: A bag full of gold coins

I have not inherited a bag full of gold coins,
but a bag full of hopes and expectations,.
It weighs down my shoulders,
put off my quest for free movement.
It suffocates me with its presence,
but should I be whining?
My shoulders are well nourished to carry the load,
the investments that didn't go to buy gold coins,
went into my development;
For nurturing a healthy mind, soul and body,
and inculcation of values and skills,
and indeed the time that  fostered the process.
I am the bag full of gold coins that I inherit,
Just a little polishing and self belief required.

Beauty is subjective, but everyone unanimously accepts that it is not artificial. Make up, accessories and clothing can do little good if you are not healthy and happy from inside.
''I am not that beautiful,'' she says and it is the most beautiful aspect of her.
She may not comply to all the universally acceoted parameters of beauty, but I know that she is kind, honest, good-spirited and loving,  Hence ''beautiful'' is a word zi would always associate with her.
