Royal Clown

I used to walk heedlessly, that’s why I met people vibrating at low frequency. Eventually, I had to find my own authenticity, stop moving ahead needlessly. To do so, I had to acknowledge myself, find out what I actually want, study my weaknesses, past mistakes, accept reality so taunt. This journey unveiled a beautiful soul and heart so bright. Came out, you were wrong all along, I’m not the blight, rather a rare mind that is filled with delight. But you knew that already, hence it terrified you. For you, rejecting me was the only way for surviving, Just as brightness chokes darkness, good vibes are outrivaling. You have sealed your world and you protect it well. Letting anything disturb it, would destroy you as well. Your ears are guards, holding sieves of speech, keeping away messages that might breach. Your eyes are shields, reflecting images so old, rejecting everything unknown. Your mouth is a king that sits on the throne of a heart. That poor majesty, twisted in painful agony. Difficulties in life are supposed to make us climb, yet some of us prefer to grime. The one who tries to escape or hide, fools himself with an utmost crime. It takes courage to admit and forgive. Breaking free is a choice to gain relief. Either be a prisoner of your kingdom or a free mind, who has gained wisdom. No one else is to blame, when you have decided to fail. In the end, lying has earned you a ridiculous crown and a coronation ceremony for a royal clown.
