I Can!!!!!
by Leenuka Reddy

I can wage war with the storms.
I can lift the skies with my bare two arms.
I can cross the desert in the scorching heat.
I can happily give up on all the life's treats.
I can fearlessly enter the twister.
I can walk for miles till my soles get blisters.
I can care less what the world says.
I can sail my boat no matter which direction the wind plays.
I can smell flowers where the world sees none.
I can play my music and dance in the blazing sun.
I can give up on my food and water.
I can readily die today and not worry about life in hereafter.
I can give up on all the smiles.
I can crawl the earth for miles and miles.
I can abstain myself from reading, which is a second life for me.
And i can cheerfully suffer all the life's agonies.
I can cross the temptous seas too.
And I can fight the whole world for you.
But is that what you want?
And is that what I need ( to do)?
To show you how I feel for you.
