Magnificent Agony

Oh, soul, how immensely resilient you are?

A display of fireworks, illuminating afar.

For this world shatters everyone,

Yet, you hold your shattered pieces as one.

My dearest, you are a poem,

A beautifully concealed tragedy to behold.

With two eyes that blaze like the sun,

Fierce and passionate, like the battles you’ve won.

So young, yet ferocious in your own way,

A string of personal disasters in your stay.

As if within you is a ball of burning fire,

Or perhaps, the moon that never tires.

A spectrum of impossible colours,

Is spotted in your rainbow, reflecting in wonder.

You’ve walked a road full of thorns and spikes,

A highway that leads to glory and greater heights.

Mindful of the rocks you’ve climbed along the way,

To get to the end of the trail and rise another day.

The wars you’ve fought, and never spoken of,

Those silent screams, no one could hear above.

Played your heartfelt melodies, by the edge of the roughest seas,

Amidst the winds, that carried your pain with ease.

Your pain, oh how magnificently it reshaped you,

The most exquisite kind of agony, that moulded you anew.

For nothing can hold a rebellious mind,

From breaking the shackles, and leaving the past behind.

You are a precious work of art,

A valuable antique that sets us apart.

The rarest wildflower discovered,

A desert rose, that never withered.

Your beauty is striking and unique,

A rare gem that the world seeks.
