The Dragon Fly

When I opened my eyes…there you were,
In front of me but not knowing who I am,
Because I had a mask on hiding from her,
The same one--sided smiley mask I’m sure.

Many thoughts ran through my mind,
Like what did she hear from his lines?
Or does she even know that mask is mine?
Well doesn’t really matter, everything seems fine.

But one thing that occured to me is that,
When my mask fell off I became so frighten,
I even had to hide from you under the mat,
Our distance was so distant at that moment.

Unexpectedly you still came to see me,
Despite knowing within me lies a malice,
You just stood beside me…instead of saying farewell,
Then I realized my dream has something to tell.

Where have you been all this while?
Or was I too blind to see…
That you have always been behind me?

Why didn’t I take you with me?
Was it because I was ignorant…
Trying to act tough like a tyrant?

How did it become so beautiful?
Despite being thrown aside…
The wings refused to divide.

Whenever I stretch it out widely,
I am confident & headstrong,
Whatever problem may come I will take them on.

What have I become with these wings,
Is truly a gift & blessing from the Heavens,
For it allows me to fly away from that cavern.

I guess this is what a new hope feels like.
