Why Am I?

Accept who you are.

In a locked room, 

there's a room 

where a cat hides, 

quiet on the side, 

yelling, "Why Am I?"

beneath those words,

it breaks pieces gradually.

Scars become fracture. 

Flesh becomes ashes. 

But when it looks at the mirror,

in the reflection,

there's a soaring lion 

looking to the feline's eyes, 

uttered, " I'm You."

Just grow and be yourself.

Thank you! :)

[samarahmed]

very true you should be nothing but yourself and nothing or no one should change that and the poem made me think of so much while reading, great poem!
