Knowing Myself Poem by Kranthi Pothineni

Knowing Myself

Rating: 5.0


Fear said knock the door
Before the rain pour
And wet you even more
In its dark thunder roar
To crush you beneath floor

Desire said fall before war
Before they cut your crops
And take you to their shore
To work as slave in store
For life long without score

Mind said me to ignore
My fear from hearts core
My desires words of four
But told to taste the sore
Only to find my hidden ore

'Fear, Desire, and Mind', in these three different angles 'Myself' has been judged well.
