You before You


From the shoulder that bears all the weight,

The load of the entire world, clawing its talons

Inside your soul, wrenching and exhausting it, the spine strengths

Every morning, recomposing to get up at the ring of the alarm

Even though there is weariness to the bones and have no serving clones

That is You


A testament of truth, an honorary code of conduct

An assortment of atoms, craving to carve its own path

With stumbling hurdles in every step, a pigmented fate

The footprints that you leave behind on the beach

Will follow you all the way, unwashed on the bay.

That is You


Standing in the eye of the storm and yet having control

Roaring louder than thunder that has struck down

Silencing the havoc around with focus at its core

Marching on forward fearlessly, carrying along with pride

A legacy forward on the finger tips, a rising tide of eclipse

That is You


Enduring every pain that shoots through you, adds on to fuming flame

That chars evil within it reaches quenching the desire to be unleashed

But it burns slow, with vigor and gentleness through the marks of scars

And at times the ablaze is swallowed, sinking into darkness

Embrace it, dance with it, make it a guide and let it not hide

That is You.


Like the last true warrior on the battlefield, that has slain

All the dragons restricting your glory, a rising phoenix from the ashes

Sleep at last, deep, peaceful sleep, not lost over people

Trying to drown and slaughter, futile attempts over a survivor

Atop a colossal mountain’s summit, the sky is also not a limit

That is You.
