People will always be there
But don’t try to please people
It will delay you success
And make your failure come so fast
I am afraid and I’m scared to show
it
I fear if I don’t write this
Then I should never write again
And I fear if I do write it
It would not be as good as it
should be
But I do like to try, though I’m
not a supernova in the pen galaxy
How do I write about this ephemeral
glimpse of inspiration?
It passed like a fire fly through
my lonely nights
I don’t know how to put into words
what I know of this essence
While some people are born to be
poets
I was just born into poetry
But I still admit, my relationship
with the pen is an accident
This is a fiction but inspired by
truth
I am nothing but a spectator
I can’t seem to bend nature to my
will
What then is the point flaunting my
royalty
I am just like a king in exile
Robe-less and crownless
A mere dust
It’s a privilege to know the moment
of one’s death in advance
You just have to prepare for it
But it’s a curse to be so far from
home
We won’t have the chance to say
goodbyes if we have to
Don’t ask me if I’m preparing to
die yet
Surely death is inevitable
But if I am to die
With God’s grace
Let me die as a man
Not as a beast
I have been through a lot
I wouldn’t like to say I’ve got
experience more than my age
But thanks to God I don’t look like
what I’ve been through
I belong to the fellowship of
people who bear the mark of pain
But my soul has emerged with the
force and splendor of a sunrise
I have integrated my innocence with
my gallant spirit of a warrior
I harmonize my humility with my
power
But it is interesting; I bear the
scars of war
Hoping they do become stars someday
The pain that came with the scars
made me feel alive
