MY LIFE 'Mi Vida''

I'm a Sand,
A fine porous substance,
Created from the roughness of rocks,
Moulded to perfection, but
Ready to engulf the world by the power of my dust,
Destroy every creation sculpted by me.
I'm a Flower,
A dried withered fruit, or
A healthy productive fruit,
With a pungent or beautiful fragrance.
I blossom gracefully when the sun rises and hide my ugliness when the sun sets,
Protect myself with my thorns, but
Still get stung deeply by my 'protective thorns' when I try to wallow around.
I'm a Tree,
Free from the shackles of the earthly bodies,
Spread my green leaves without feeling obscure,
Never shying away to show my beautiful perfection,
Stand tall amongst all shrubs, but
Fear that I would be cut down, and
My leaves would turn brown with no importance.

I'm a Bird,
Flying graciously like no one is watching me, but still
Get devoured by the predators of the land and sea.
I'm Human,
Born with a promising life,
My heart as pure as snow,
Free from sins that could stain me from up and below,
Hoping for a perfect future, but
Here I am,
Tangled up with emotions,
Wining and dining with the Devils of hell,
Purchased my soul without asking if I wanted to sell.
'Life is a rollercoaster,
Of emotions and trials,
It was boldly written on the poster'.
