I
Listen ! Let me tell you a story.
I've bore witness to Pain, as i've also seen Pleasure !
Laying it's marks on the plains of my shoulders.
II
Pay attention ! And hear me well.
I've seen Lies, and i've heard the Truths.
I've seen Lies in their truths,
As the truths in their lies slope down on the premium of my laps.
III
Calm your nerves ! And don't get it mixed up.
I've heard about Existence, and i also believe in Nothingness.
But i haven't seen the Essence of life despite our Existence ,
When after Death everything becomes Nothingness.
Just like i've seen Birth but haven't felt Death,
But I've seen death seeping from the last breath of enemies and lovers Health.
IV
Relax ! 'Cause i know you are confused.
I am human and i believe in Existence.
'Cause i've perceived Doubt, and i've also exhibited Faith.
As i relay my Fears in the realm of my Courage.
And my Courage proved nothing to the world even jn the midst of my Fears,
V
Believe me or not, It's your Choice !
That I've seen the World, and i've heard it's Words.
That I've seen its Storm wailing, and I've experienced its Stillness.
That life is a Circle, as it continues to roll.
And everyone will get to experience its sides
As you'll hear it's Tales and see it's Proofs.
You'll Smile at its Praise and Frown at its Blame,
You'll Run from its Error, and Walk into yet another Terror.
VI
But if you want to know more, as life itself has more to give.
Journey with me, And i will tell you another story.
Lie here with me, and i will show you it's Legends,
Dine with me, and i will tell you it's Tales and explain its Folklores,
As you've prepared to hear the Unseen,
And eventually you will see the Unheard!
