Who Am I

By Shobhit Gupta

Am I the light which brightens up the moon 

Or am I the darkness showing impending gloom

Am I a clandestine affair with the devil 

Or am I a conspicuous matrimony in peril

Am I the silence before the storm 

Or am I the uproar in a college dorm 

Am I the hot chocolate on a cold winter’s night 

Or am I the melting snow from summer’s might 

Am I the Atlas who holds the sky 

Or am I the Icarus who dared to fly 

Am I a melancholic candour 

Or a guarded delight 

The Yin and Yang within me 

It’s a balance, a perpetual fight
