THE WAY AM I
Nobody knows me,
Not even myself
I meet people everyday
I talk , I laugh , I smile
Others say that I lie.
I’m complicated, orphic
hard to understand
Just like the way we don’t know what happens in between the oceans.
I’m an arcane,
Have a mind as weird as wonderland,
As calm as a river,
As raging as a storm
As quite as a forest,
As aesthete as an art
As mysterious as the space between the stars
.
Under the sky, we count the stars
I’m a mess, we all are
And I’m proud to be imperfect,
imperfectness is beauty
Imperfectness is the invisible evidence of being a human being
Even the gods are imperfect,
How can I not be?
How can you not be?
How can they and we not be?
We all are similar but different,
We all are common but unique,
It is just the way you are,
And it is just the way am I.
