Advance with Love!

I am a person of my own,
I tried to meet social expectations
but couldn't fit in any frame.
It wasn't my fault.
It was my hair
that billowed with the breeze
and altered the set style.
It was my arm
that went up
when heard the call
and fell out of place.
It was my leg
that hurt just laying
in the old structure
and unfurled breaking it.
It was my mind
that couldn't tolerate,
the stink of stale ideas
and rolled out of the shell.
It was my vision
that responded to new experiences
and expanded out of the blinkers.
It was my colourful heritage
that couldn't standstill
within one vapid doctrine.
It was my polyglot heart
that empathised with the strangers
and repeatedly jumped out of the lane!
And because of the mystery of love,
I survived and thrived
in new shapes and forms!
Drops of love from above
keep me wet enough to be reshaped
And grace continues to forgive
my frequent solecisms,
As I continue to evolve,
break social constructs,
and go beyond boundaries
just to fall in love and be loved
over and over again!
