Paghunda Zahid Poet Free verse

Part of Me

Part of me wants
To bear wings and flee
Part of me wants to stay
For life is beautiful this way

Part of me is intuitive
And seek the light of heaven
Part of me is logical
And seek factual truth

Part me wants to be happy
And ignores the cries of humanity
Part of me cares about others
And cries for the sufferings of human beings

Part me wants to be part of universe
And think of doing things bigger than myself
Par of me love its abode
And procrastinate major things

Part of me wants to be recognized
Part of me wants to remain unknown
Part of me wants to be pampered and loved 
While the other part is rational and loves sanity

In Conflict between being nobody and somebody
I am passing my life or rather it is passing me by

Stuck between mind and heart,
Possible and impossible... 
Easy and hard... 
I grew up, and I am still living
Unable to figure out... 
Purpose of my existence

(~Paghunda Zahid)
