I welcome myself with some delectable soul searching,
No pretense, no judgments, no critical lenses,
The relegation of self-banter censured,
The adrenaline of confidence worth emulating,
Had I known the above, I would have known my worth!
The nomenclature of society etched like a pious mural,
Right or wrong- the debate of life marinated so well,
Decisions seeking favors from corrupt peers,
Those sleepless nights deepening the darkness,
Had I known the binoculars of life needed adjustments!
The vexatious castles of thoughts,
Those endless cigarettes now running out of fumes,
A narrative of life spread out like an ambush attack,
How to handle the chaotic mess ruffled insanely?
Had I known; only if I had known.
The fresh coffee finally speaking,
The marination of respect and commitment,
The malleability of cage (life) worth exploring,
The impact of ‘character sustainability’ revealed,
Had I known that this is ‘me’: the Creator!
