by Ayyub Hussain
I was born to be a poet
It is my greatest honour
It is the source of my power
Writing poetry is my hydration
It is life that makes me thirsty
It is life that makes me weak
But, writing poetry to being strong and healthy
I still have the face of a child
I’m too cute to be someone’s muse
Nobody can take advantage of me being young and wild
The ink I write with comes from my bruise
My loved ones gain immortality
My life becomes a story
I aspire for literary glory
I’ll feel peace when my soul ascends from the territory
I’m happy to be the poet
I’m meant to be more than a pretty face
