What makes you feel
the comfort of your true self?
what makes you feel
the anger within you?
what takes away the anger
within your angry self?
what makes you better
than the concerned heart?
what scares your eyes
not to see the other?
what really scares you
further than your self?

what makes you better
than the other?
is it the beauty
on your muscled face
that roars to its smile
or the look within your eyes
without saying?

what makes you further
than the other?
is it the body that carries
you and walk like an old folk
waiting for their nature call
and gone once tired to walk?
is it the legs of your body
to walk you that way?
is it the only thing about you?

what makes you bother
the other?
what bothers you
about the other?
do they too
bother you?
how sure?
dont be that too
you belong to the humans too
you are not better
you are just a unique other...
