I am in the land where culture is valued.
Religion is the definition of who I am
But who am I? Love is insane,
I only know who I am when you look at me!
I exist in a world that is full of laughter.
Happiness and sadness is the only proof
All I have is serendipity.
I weep tears of joy when you smile at me!
I am miserable in this universe yet delighted.
My satisfaction takes advantage of my arrogance.
I float, fly and disobey the universe, but
I only feel my surface when you touch me!
I am an existing corpse because of your shadow.
My existence gives me a ticket to be part of ecosystem.
What sense of humor you have?
I am born again when you play with me!
I am disabled in making conversations.
Your stares are only means of communication.
Look at me, smile at me.
Touch me, play with me
And when you talk to me
I will know who I am through you!
