I was born with unlimited dreams
The kind that extremely gleam
Brighter than any grand entrancing
Stream, so breathtaking to see
The profound and admirable artist
I have become, the rara avis within me
That emanates the greatest enchantment
In life, creating perennial and fantastical
Poems for people who can establish
A connection with my swan soul

I am not for everyone
I don’t share the same beliefs as others
I am an awakened man existing
With powerful potential
Knowing where I belong in society
Comprehending the fact that
Many will be against me
And never love me because
I am on a different elevated frequency
Than them, that as much as I may
Love them with all my heart
They will never allow themselves
To coexist with me

I fathom out the reasons
Why I exist the way I do
Why I am the rara avis
In an unpredictable world
That fluctuates periodically
I was never meant to walk
With all the ones I came across
Even though the genuine
Kindhearted soul inside me
Wished to create unbreakable bonds
I had to perceive that many people
Would never come to accept me
For the person they saw in
And out of the shadows

I see that it’s far fulfilling
To live in seclusiveness
Conscious of the things around you
But flowing like a proportionately
Voluminous and brilliant river in stillness
No need to feel intimidated by anyone
Because it’s one with nature and the universe
It cognizes its power and purpose
The same way the rara avis within me do too
