Once a star of a long lost galaxy
I now am mortal of few tendencies
My hands are shaky
My gait slow n weak
What point life arrived
Looking back feels weary
Ended in sea of grief ... shortly
Wrath and anger consumed me all
I was my life’s own
adversary
Haste made my present invisible
Regrets magnified faults to infinity
Regrets are for the bounded ones
Remorse for the ones in captivity
The freedom of choice, to live as wish
Is your own, not other’s luxury
Then why you limit yourself as a star
When the universe is flowing in artery.
Such vastness of thought
Such awe in imagery
Physical strengths were a bonus
Provided for early mastery
Your ideas made you special
Not hercs or maiden personality
So be your own hero
Create your moons and Sun
Gloominess is not the very option
Hope will rescue all torn n weary
Get up and stand for your own self
Show the world your shiny destiny.
(Samima Shah-Faheem)
