An undiscovered me..

What i am, i do not know
how i feel i hardly show
Been taught to never be at an extreme
conditioned to be like the heard and seen

Then suddenly why this urge to fly,
ripping the clouds to test the sky
What madness is this to do the new
to wander places been by a few !

Driftwood i have been for a long long time
flowing here and there led by people who are mine
and i thought i was happy to have taken the backseat
until one day i happen to meet..

A stranger who shows me a life unseen
takes me to places i have never been
tells me i know nothing - besides my bubble
a life so safe, miles away from trouble

"but thats not all- open your eyes and see"
he nudges me to bloom and be more of me
to think in a manner i havent done before
leaving inhibitions behind- walking beyond the shore.

"Can i really move beyond?" - im forced to ask
if this is not me, in whose glory do i bask..
"am i a facade even unknown to me?
then will you help me see the person i could be?"

If theres a world out there beyond my shell
i want to touch it all, see heaven and hell
i'm scared, terrified, excited too..
but to beat it all, u always compell

Will you see me through it all, i do not know
how you feel about it, you never show..
but u'll watch my back this much i can say
in your own indifferent but caring way

That would be enough for theres nothing i expect
just knowing you are there makes my day
looking forward to this strange journey u led me into..
somewhere down the road i'll find my way !
