Part Of My Life


I was born there,
crawled on that sand
even uttered my first word
mom, with innocent smile
forever, I take guarantee, and it would be
part of my life.

I was wrong, and never get the chance
to walk on that same very sand
I thought peace was like a
breeze of air that comes from the sky
at that same very sand, and would be
part of my life.

Unfortunately, I saw myself suffering
on different soul/ sand, this time it is
part of my life.
Seeing a doctor month after month
was part of my calender, getting
treated from the same disease was
part of my life.

Malaria, was the only enemy I had to fight
long term,
I would be told to avoid mangoes
that too was
part of my life.

Moving places was something,
I do regularly
that too was
part of my life.

Speaking different languages
was part of the swapping places
so I would survive it's barrier
that was part of my life.
