I am

I’m the sun, the moon, the stars,

I swoon.

I’m the light that lingers,

The morning dew.

I melt underneath the blue sky,

I am the blue.

I’m the paleness of your skin,

Purple hue.

I am the caressing of the cheeks,

The red in you.

I’m the sea that breathes,

Swollen crease.

I stand in the darkness,

Black.

I am you.

This poem represents how as a Human being, with time I have slowly supressed my emotions, desires and true personality, moulding it as per the norms of the society. Sun, Moon and stars represent my emotions, which keep changing, swooning and varying. Since my childhood, different experiences and opinions of different people has led me to forget my true self. I have moulded myself as per what the people surrounding me wanted me to become. I'm the blue like the sky, the redness of the cheeks, which means I have forced myself into the process of Metamorphosis at every stage of my life as per the opinions of views of different people regarding me. The words "I am You" means at this stage of my life I'm like any other human being in this world, who have lost their true being, true characteristics, true personality since childhood. The different colours represent how I blend into different colours and have lost my true colour. So if something was blue, I became that blue, if something was red, i blended and became red, in the end I have lost my true colour.
