I have been so lucky
in meeting the obstacles that I did
in those aggressive encounters
that brought out the best in me
and I learnt to face myself
devoid of shame
bereft of conventions.
I have been so lucky
being deserted in difficult times
I learnt to walk alone
and enjoy the solitude
It lifted all pressures
of conformity
and reciprocity
I have been so lucky
carving my own path
along with identity
I have a face and soul
beyond heredity
nothing seems strange
anymore.
