Me , Myself and I

I’m like the earths crust , I sustain all my burdens singly , though forsaken or forlorn. Yeah you have afflicted me with those pain and agony. You boot me and pierce me and try to knock me down. But still I bear them up with strength and power ,though bitter or sour and I am never going to give up or surrender

I also resemble the waves in the ocean that look calm , delicate and subtle. You can adore me ,  rejoice with me , laugh and play. But you can never perceive what I am concealing on the inside of my soul and sooner or later when they crash and collide , my rage you’d witness popping out monstrously.

I am even similar to a tree. I stand alone , unassisted , independently , not concerned of being unrecognized or not being paid attention to. Though you plot out there to cut me and slash me down , I merely do I what I require to and keep growing not bothered of the injustice you create.

Moreover , I am seriously misunderstood just like a cuckoo for a crow. Throughout my life I endured being misunderstood by the humankind as something I’d never be. But nevertheless I manage to voice out my difference with a “coo” and strive to make them realize.

I am rigid as ice as well. Cool and Solid , I might look. But when heated and impassioned with your love , utterances and conducts , I tend to melt too promptly.

And I am like the blue sky , looking pleasant , charming and harmless. But through fury , I’d scream and roar like the growling thunderbolt. But sorrow often tends to overtake it hastily and making me weep and sob until the world is drenched. But I don’t even fail to smile , suppressing my sorrow like the rainbow that conquers the darkness and turns up soon after a rain.
