I Crave to be myself

Original Submission by Rajni Verma

I crave to be myself

I crave to be myself

My truest self which knows no limits

but laughter and love

The unconditional love

The core of my heart

And the life I strive for

The essence of my existence

The reason for eternal happiness

The way

The path

The road

The destination

Love

Laughter

Life

With

People

Who know no boundaries but human beings

As heavenly souls

With discrete hearts and varied interests

I am nowhere near to see them

But I am sure that they exist, and I will find them in roads I am yet to travel.
