Unique

If you bring forth a thought 
To compare then you must wonder
What a man I am, awkward 
No one is like me 
Nor I resemble with any other 
Not even I am like the wind you can measure 
In volume or litre, my essence is not in any height either 
In length and width I do not spread 
Like the sun I do not shine
I am myself I need not to be rain 
Nor to be a piece of diamond
I reflect I glow what I am
I am proud of my individuality
I do not like what you like me to be 
not even l like to be, like a rose you can treasure 
the beauty in red or blue, my value is not in any color either 
like sweet or sour I do not taste 
like a rivulet I do not murmur 
I hate to be like any one 
Not even I like to be beauty you can desire 
In thirst in lust, my power is not in gory pleasure either 
In sound in song I am not born 
Like a bird I do not sing
I need not be like a bright full moon 
Or a piece of glittering gold 
To me I am more valuable 
I love to be myself 
On my own right I am me that is enough 
No depth of an ocean I sought 
Nor I vie the might of the sky 
In blazing uniqueness my glory dazzles
