I am my relations
I come from
My burdens
My obligations
My responsibilities
And identities
That cage me
I come from
My desires
My needs
My aspirations
And incompletions
That fail me
I come from
My connections
And disconnections too
I come from
In me
Within me
Out me
And Other me
I come
From
The womb
The blood
And the soul
That embody me
I come from
The name
Of the family
And the caste
That birthed me
I come from
My neighbourhood
The smells and sights
The senses and noises
That shaped me
I come from
My work
My titles
My power
And the seats
That feed my ego
I come from
The streets of my childhood
The memories of my past
The food that I feed
And the body that I call mine
I come from
The grass
The flowers
And thorns
That nurture me
I, we, us
Aren't we one
Us, we, I
We are one
In oneness,
I am enough
I come from
My burdens
My obligations
My responsibilities
And identities
That cage me
I come from
My desires
My needs
My aspirations
And incompletions
That fail me
I come from
My connections
And disconnections too
I come from
In me
Within me
Out me
And Other me
I come
From
The womb
The blood
And the soul
That embody me
I come from
The name
Of the family
And the caste
That birthed me
I come from
My neighbourhood
The smells and sights
The senses and noises
That shaped me
I come from
My work
My titles
My power
And the seats
That feed my ego
I come from
The streets of my childhood
The memories of my past
The food that I feed
And the body that I call mine
I come from
The grass
The flowers
And thorns
That nurture me
I, we, us
Aren't we one
Us, we, I
We are one
In oneness,
I am enough
