WHO AM I?

By Avanya Saxena

Who am I?

I do not know. And the question’s answer Is too slow

Am I the sky? About which we know so low

Changing minute by minute By what the people show

Or am I the earth below? Scarred day by day By beings who took advantage of me And then, got away

Or am I the water? Following my own flow Unaffected by the obstacles in my path As victory is all I know

Or am I the wind?

The one who observes them all The purported and the perfect dolls The true and the false

Or am I Fire ambitious, resourceful, and clever Whose self-esteem is always higher And has no respect for the liars

Perhaps I am truly none But a mixture of all above

Changing and growing like the sky That is who am I

Scarred like the earth but mostly the cause of mirth

Unaffected like the water To whom destination is always broader

Observant like the wind Yet innocent and kind as a kid

Confident like fire To whom success is the biggest desire

No matter what I am like

I will never fail to be me

As whatever changes outside

Nothing can change inside of me
