Eulogy

EULOGY
--MERAKI

I lie here, content
No, not endorsing a life of zest
Or days of melancholy
I lie here at ease,
For now there's respite
And I no more need to maneuver
The graceless rinks of maturity

I've had my share of happiness
And equal blows of fate
Pits and heaps, Tides and Ebb
At times assailant, at times bait.
In short, I was a butterfly,
Only with a twisted life cycle.
In triumph, I fluttered (butterfly),
In troubles, I idled (larva).

Adversity was never my complain
But I prefer it self-inflicted.
Coz I'm OK to reap what I sow
The brunt of another doer? not accepted!
Have you ever thought of it this way?
There's freedom in that too.
Strange as it may sound, it's quite true.

So don't come to my grave
To find a lifting eulogy.
My deeds are in my psyche alone
I seek no approval, no apology
So come to my tomb, make your own conclusion
That's my parting gift to you :)
Judge me all you want, I'll make no intrusion.
You see, there's freedom in that too!
