I once put myself very low,
bowing down to the arrogance of the group.
I once take myself too high,
prioritising my kind over the rest of the world.
I lie while seeking truth;
I pray while abandoning gods;
I laugh while hiding tears;
I rescue while burying fellows;
I hate mediocrity
while discriminating the few;
I preserve goodness
while accompanying the evil.
But I am, you are, we are –
a leaf breathing on a branch,
a deer jumping in the forest,
a river running towards the sea,
a star surfing across the sky.
I am a human being
walking on the earth,
non-innocent, complicated, and precious..
Yet no more precious than any other life form.
