To be Me and to be You
Woke me up this dawn
And even sleep which walk with yawn
Could not stand up to them
In bed, I laid
Eyes widely opened
Body turning and tossing
An indication of a restless soul
My restless soul asked
To be Me and to be You
What would you have me do
For I cannot go on like this?
Separate Us!
To be Me and to be You shouted
For joining Us as Siamese
Has caused your and our restlessness
Separation will cause one to die
And I was not ready to bid one goodbye
Restlessness, I however could not continue to take
And the least opportunity I will escape from it
I tried to reach a compromise
But this was not one of a cohabitation
Let one die to gain rest
Keep two to lose rest
As I weighed the two options
There was a knock on my life
I opened the door
Only for Past, Present and Future to enter
I sat with them
I looked at them
I spoke with them
And this is what I gathered
In having to be You
Others would come first
An ear has to be left
And Weak would be my title
In having to be Me
I would have self first
Two ears might even be cut
And Strong would be my title
Which would it be?
To be addressed Strong or Weak?
I sat there confused
Not knowing which to choose
Alas! I chose just before morn
I chose others to be first
I chose to be called Weak
So, I chose You
Your strength will make me Strong
Love will make me conquer
And O! I will even end up to be Me
I choose to be You..
