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.
