Epiphany

The stink of fake concerns 

The stains of contaminated loyalty 

The disgust of your confident lies 

They have all grown over a time 

On your face

Making it uglier than ever 

But do you know the difference,

That I am maintaining between you and me?

I am notorious when it comes to reputation 

And you are always in need of building it,

Higher and higher 

But still, I am being respected,

And you are being disgusted. 

I am a loner yet powerful of all, 

You are so full of people 

Yet empty of all.

I have the wings that never land,

But you have the legs that never stand.

You are the fire that burns human down,

I am the water, cleaning up their wound.

I no longer see myself in the mirror that you gave,

I carved the one for myself, 

Keeping it with me till I reach the grave.

I don't see myself from your eyes anymore,

I have fed my own with a vision

So I am dreaming more and more.

The fragile person you once knew is long gone,

And here is the thing that you took very wrong,

A rebel is never meant to be caged,

And I was never the one to be tamed!
