Cover

I came here, without a cover
But they covered me, with a wrapper
Later I started, covering myself
The skin, the eyes, ears and nose.
And then the foods, covered my tastes
Covering all my, senses intact.
While my body, became big,
My mind had also, got its cover.
Even the thoughts, I covered it well
Without showing a free will!
All the things I got is covered,
Beautifully with different colors.
But, one day I’ll shed all my covers
And go to there from where I came!
