I and Myself
I’m so hurt, but I won’t weep,
I’m so tired, I can’t sleep,
I’m the liar, who can never lie,
I have wings, but no talent to fly,
Life is what I envy the most,
I’m the parasite helping my host,
I’m the enigma who convincingly failed,
Won the marathon, but still I trailed,
I burnt out the fire, but the ashes still live,
For eternal satisfaction, there’s nothing I won’t give,
The morning sun triggered the rain,
I betrayed myself, but felt no pain,
I deny myself, when I have nothing to hate,
I’m anemic, I carry the trait,
Triumphant from battles I return,
But seldom the war,
I’m not the person, the world takes me for,
From the inner depths of my soul I ran,
The day I learnt to cry like a man.
