Me?

a poem by Anjali Nair

Opaque, that is what I want to be
Crystal clear, that is what I am-

Happy, that is how I would like to be
Numb, that is how I am-

Strong, that is who I want to be
Sensitive, that is who I am-

Now, that is where I want to be
Then, that is where I am-

Life, that is why I wish to be
God, that is why I am.
