Words Poem by Kikee Doma Bhutia

As light as feather
A woman's heart
Free yet tied
Who am I?
Who I was?
Who I am trying to be?
Find your centre
Find that root from where you erupt
Searching, crumbling
Into different parts
That one part you may be
You should be
A human is not human without a body
Little different walk will make you animal
Little different talk will make you outcast
All you need is that faith
That you are who you are.
A rally around the market doesn't define who you are?
Shouting from the microphone doesn't too
Even crying doesn't and
Winning an argument definitely won't
You will simply change the environment but not you
When you don't know who you are
How can you find out who are the other, those exist outside you?
I wonder
Your identity is not the shadow of your father overlapping you
Not your brother protecting you from bullies
Nor your husband, who is self involved
And the lover whom you try to hide
You are you,
Not the body that carries you places
Its nothing but ash
Not the parts of the body
It has its own name
When you cannot find you within you
How will you define yourself?
I wonder
Still live, turn like a water in every shape
Learn from the wind to toss the lighter things around
And leave the heavy useless things in ground
They belong there
Your name is antithetical
What is your name doesn't define you
Your fame is theoritical
Once you are lost, your fane does too
I know you have nature and rivers to preserve
But do you know who you are?
Who you are to preserve and decide what outside of you is destined for
Sounds selfish
Sounds grounded
But that's where we belong.....
That's where we belong
We know some things are meant to be
We know the apples falls on the ground
Why do you try to find gravity
And create whole havoc on earth.
Why different ways of producing
And adds up to global warming
Thats what happens when you venture out
Look inside,
What you need?
Who you are?
And maybe there won't be any problem in Earth
No UN, and NGO's to save what they damaged!
Who knows who's right?
Who writes?
What' wrong?
