I Am The Black

By Giridhar Alwar

At times,

The longest days tests your patience, but

The shortest nights give you deep sleep.

The longest path finishes in no time, but

The shortest holds you at the beginning.

The longer life gives you no joy, but

The shortest death can make you feel complete.

The people stood the longest understood you not, while

Those who stand shortest gives you no pain.

The love looks like hell, but

Hatred gives you happiness at times.

Positive thought makes you weak, but

The negative thoughts make you strong.

Weakness becomes your strength, and

Strength becomes a weakness.

The good in you looks bad, and

The bad gives you a good companion.

The world is full of darkness, and

Darkness shows the light.

I stand as much as I can,

I live as I wish,

No matter what.

I live the fullest, comparing no life in this darkness.

I try not to find any light until I feel fear, and I wish I would never.

People might call me a moron, but I stand-still responding to them not.

Even if they call me not a human, I feel not, and I go on my way to set my limits high.

I raise like a sun to pierce the dark rather than trying to find out the light.

I walk like a king even if I hold no title, as I’m still unbroken.

I live like a legend satisfying my thoughts, making no disaster for others.
