Summer Solstice Premier Contest: Uncover 'Me'
Listening to songs I never loved,
Wearing clothes I never cherished,
Adorning a cloak that never suits me,
Trying hard to accept that this is the new 'ME',
As time flew,
As I shed my old leaves and gained new,
I realised that this was never the 'ME'
That I wished to see.
Revolving around momentous bliss
Whirling around proclaimed pleasures
Haunted by fears of social rejection,
Coerced me to abide by falsehood, but not for long.
The world in my view...
Many bodies with single voice,
Not because of unison, but because of subjugation,
Fear to raise views, fear to express opinions.
Let go to gain more,
Let go of falsehood to gain brotherhood
Let go of fear to gain bright years
Live your life, not someone else's...
