simplicity
naked truth
what a strange beauty there is
in learning from the opposites
I love freely
because I know how it feels
not to be loved
I appreciate little things
whole heartedly
because I know how it is
to be taken for granted
I try hard to understand
because I know how it feels
to be misunderstood
I am and I am not
yet I persist
I often smile at the sun
I seek light
because I have seen
the darkest of nights
I know what freedom is
because I had been tied down
for too long to a place
I didn’t belong
I long for my home
because I know how agonizing
that separation is
covered in thorns
I delight in soothing
someone’s pain
having drowned in tears
I delight in a smile on a face
yes, you can call me insane
because I know there is nothing
no nothing in staying sane
I know yet I remain a fool
hiding behind words
look how I spill
my heart out
how amazing it is, I wonder
to have learnt from contradictions
