Dichotomy

I drew it on a moonless night but the lines came to me on a sunny afternoon.

Fell upon the world -

Soaked in blood, with a crushed skull.

Fragile as a toad

Lighting smiles, that took long to dull.

Crawling out the crib -

Nurtured, nursed, and left to play in dust

Either winning or learning

To strive you need to, do what you must.

Got tall and been confused

Lying under stars, wondering, what am I here for?

Stifled as I recall

Even mightiest Gods, had to earn their name in war.

Hardships are inevitable -

Pleasures unquenchable, chase it even with strides long!

Like shadows and sunshine

Joy and Sorrow, happens to always tag along.

In the journey of life -

Dichotomy is, even the most shiniest diamond

Came out of

Dirty coal, that’s been torched-n-toughened.
