The Permanence in Me

My only makeup was my smile,

As life has been larking on me its snare in guile!

My heart skips a beat while adrenaline gushes through my vein,

I run up till the ever-lasting walls but cannot stop the burning pain…

My free soul needs a cocoon to hide where it can defy,

Just like the caterpillar who was once too afraid to fly!

Here in the solitude I can sense this tranquility so motherly,

The musical trance to me is what it is to the larva the sweet mulberry…

Why should my anguish be hidden deep there, when I can throw it?

After all it is my broken heart that has to suffer every of its single bit!

Weather it is the destiny or the karma that plays this acrimonious game,

I overpower and take control to show it is my life and I only I can tame…

I nurture my mind to build a new self inside,

In the ‘Permanence of me’ I take a long stride!

I process myself to become a valiant warrior and shrewd Wight,

As if in a fairytale’s later, the innocent princess plots a ploy and wins in might…
