Born Here – Delhi Poetry Slam

Born Here

By Suprabha S

Born in this body, limited by the physical,
Carefully filtered appearances, curated wounds,
Identifying with emotions fathomed, every reaction justified,
My feelings, my logic, my memories, all are me,
Experience of the being through endless drama.

Born in this society, limited by the identity,
Eager for a faction to belong, inherited traits,
Owning a tribe’s legacy, every division warranted,
My name, my status, my entitlements, all are me,
Experience of the being through tireless pursuit.

Born in this planet, limited by the resources,
Incredibly engineered conception, balanced subtly,
Abiding the unwritten laws, every creation matters,
My soil, my water, my climate, all are mine,
Experience of the being through selfless co- existence.

Born in this cosmos, limited by imagination,
Grandiose spectrum of light, infinitely timeless,
Accepting our minuscule presence, every breath conscious,
My soul, my journey, my karma, all are mine,
Experiencing the being through boundless gratitude.
