f only I could whisper tales of joy,
To the flora and fauna around me.
Oft I wonder, why thoughts and words fail me?
Ain’t I a human armed with intellect?
And then it sinks in!
‘Cause I failed to coexist with nature.
If only I could soar high in the sky,
Above the realms of societal standards.
Oft I wonder, why courage eludes me?
Ain’t I a woman, with wisdom galore?
And then it sinks in!
‘Cause I failed to live just for myself.
If only I could put thoughts to paper,
Like a showman pulling out a rabbit.
Oft I wonder, why is my canvas blank?
Ain’t I an artist, with talent to boot?
And then it sinks in!
‘Cause I failed to observe and introspect.
