Ruler Of The Rain

From the day the almighty sent you to this earth,
people told you what is “right and fair”.
The paths you are allowed to travel,
and the ones you shouldn’t even dare.
On the path that the society paved for you,
they push you on and on.
Without even giving you a minute to think,
if it’s really where you belong.
They tell you about the alley
which is travelled by a few.
They tell you that it’s the path of uncertainties,
and should not certainly be chosen by you.
They label you for hours and hours,
of all the things that the society expects you to be.
But little do they know,
you are not labels and that you would never be.
Before he sent his beautiful creation to the earth,
the almighty told you things that were worth.
He told you that it’s okay to be broken,
bruised up and scarred.
For every bruise is a reminder,
of the monsters you have slain and the battles you have won.
You are born to be a rainstorm,
to let your heart scream with passion like howling wolves.
You are born to be chaotic and bold,
to show that there is beauty that cannot be controlled.
So, the next time they tell you,
about the society’s “do’s and don’ts”
do not be scared to break free
from the cages of their expectations
and wander off the edges of the road that they paved for you.
Forget the maps of the society,
follow your heart at all costs.
For you will never really find yourself,
if those maps aren’t torn.

You are like the fierce ocean,
your shining waves can’t be kept at bay.
You are like the raindrops,
re-born every minute of the day.
You have the power to give life
and to it away too.
They will run for covers,
when you will descend from the roaring skies.
And if you hide behind the scorching sun,
they will yearn for you,
as their leaves start running dry.
Whatever it is you think you know
about your heart and soul
let me make something clear to you
there is no hell in this universe
that you cannot walk through.
Do not be scared of bruises and scars,
for there is a pride in surviving the pain.
Remember what the god told you once
You are born to be the ruler of this life;
the ruler of the rain.
