Awe! Such a relief, At least now I know why,

I never knew how to answer this question: "Who"? "Are"? "You"?

I don't know "Who am I?" Well, Who cares?

Am I fired now?

Hooray! Isn't it more joyful than sorrowing lifelong failures?

The light shined, “They” were not awakened enough to see what they could,

They learnt to mirror. Did the light break? They thought so!

Neither, enough to ask what they should!

And the light revived towards the window

They only followed, devoted to being a "follower.";

They didn't know! The light never fades!

They played with shadows and became shaders!

Nevertheless, the light glowed, And yet, they postured within the shades.

They hoed eyeballs out with their fingertips,

played around with words and grew glories of darkness, creating shadows in their gloomy mind;

they chose to be blind, deigning the shady world's nothingness,

They called them names! And here we are! Humankind!
