You're blundering
Last updated: Mar 12, 2024You try to tie me up in chains
Suffocating in mediocrity
You try to hold me back in vain
I will raise my bloody head with strength each time
through pain…
This ain’t the first time I am smothered in knives
My scars have healed but they’ve taught me to strive
Hyenas flat have come and gone with time
Now I know how to deal with double headed snakes
Try to smile and put a pithole in my way
Try to cut my hands and legs
So that I crawl to you for help
But I won’t ,
For that’s not how I was born and raised
I was born like a lion and will die like one,
never slouching my spine beneath my height.
And though the strength in my voice and the light from my face
Drips you in anxious sweat
Stop checking if your chair ain’t broke
Stop checking if your pants are dry or wet
Stop checking if you’re stumped or still alive
And look me deep into my eyes
For I know how to kill my foes with a stare
And I know how to bleed your soul with words
Stay away from me, you won’t be able to bear;
Don’t blame the flames if you play with fire
Don’t laugh in battles and cry in war
I’m strong, I like a peaceful world
You’re Dunning weak but seek a fight.
Are you Shishupal or Duryodhan,
too blind to see the God before ;
Are you so lost in vanity
Your senses betray you?
Wake up, you still can beg for grace
Your troubled strikes on simple men
reflect your haunted past
and your shawl of insecurities,
that my presence blows away
and leaves you bare to winds of change.
