To Life..!

You surround me

As you always will.

You'll tease me when I groan

And you'll applaud me at times.

You'll see my raging anger

Behind my flawlessly calm face

And my turbulent tears

Behind the cheeriest of my smiles.

You'll also see my faith in you

When you yourself strike me.

You'll laugh as you trouble me

Yet you'll respect me as

I strike them troubles aside.

You'll be charmed in my pious white

Yet you'll paint me black and smirk.

You will love me each time

I love you more.

You shall help me even when

I'm too proud to take your help.

You give me the red cloth

And you're the mad charging bull

Yet you'll be honoured as I face you

And take you by the horns.

You maternal smile

when I stay stubborn as a child,

And your humble bow to my acts

which you yourself have taught me.

You steal my hungry stomach's morsel

And you salt my wounds.

You surround me with friends

and cheat me as you take them all away.

You teach me to love

And you love it when I lose it..

Yet you make me fall in love

again and again and again...

What are you exactly,

I know not.

You drive me with a mad ambition

To master you.

Yet you humble me down to my knees.

You'll act as such to make me angry at you

You'll even make me hate you

But you've yourself taught me

To love you in a million ways

For you it is who makes me

And you alone is what's truly mine !
