pachyderm

she taught me this word
long back...

she said am a pachyderm
i asked what that is?

she told me what it means...

today the word came back to me.

am a pachyderm
was it my necessity, then?
is it now?
i don't know.
do i just simply feel safe being a pachyderm?
i don't know.

i feel
i am a coward
i am shameless
i am spineless
i am pachyderm

i am
tired
i am
lost
i am
hurt
i am
alone
i am a
pachyderm...

if you are a pachyderm,then everyone else is...
it's not about you..
nor about others...
it's about being the humans i believe...
tell me,
are the cowards,the spineless'
aware of their 'ness's???
you could be hurt
you could be lost
you could be tired...
but how can you be a spineless
how can you be a derm
a pachyderm??...
why are you negating a possibility of restoration??
you could be in a state of negation..
not cessation...
negation is always negation of something...
negate the negation..
n you will get what was being negated...
so i say,
it's not perpetual
it's not cessation...
