Being Me

Odes and tales on me are befitting of books

I am a woman who will adore them

Romanticize and ruminate may be

But I see through hollow words

Do not confine me to a book

I am the ink that will float above paper

And splash your wall with colors

Sit up and brighten your life

Do not confine me to a song

For I am every lyric that tunes carry

I will infuse music into listless lives

Enjoy the melody when your soul lulls

Do not confine me to ignorance

For my wisdom surpasses ages

I am the elixir you seek

Quench your thirst for sanity

Do not confine me to your heart

For my love is magnanimous

I will shower it on fertile and arid lands alike

Cherish it and heal when in agony

Do not confine me to this world

For, I am the sun of fragile planets

I have universes to protect and nourish

Revolve around me to sustain and grow

Unchain me from unreal expectation

Release me from trivial bondage

But this freedom you supposedly give,

Was mine to take when I pleased

But I refrained, in hope that you will see me

For all that I was, I am and I will ever be

For the simplicity and magnificence,

of just being me.
