Allow me

Allow me to stand knee deep in mud
To breathe in the scents of the world
Burying my hands into the vastness of the air
Feeling the wind blow on me.

Allow me to jump into a puddle
And splash little droplets of joy
While I roam aimlessly
On account of a freedom exercised by me.

Allow me to wallow in my own pain
To pick myself up for my own gains
To bash myself for my crimes
And to be allowed to let some slide.

Allow me,
To have the freedom,
Where I don't have to be allowed.

Allow me. 

Ways

I know not your ways
Though I am well versed with the game.
I grasp on to little findings
Clutch on to them tight.

Still I know,
Two steps from here,
What I learnt wont be the same,
It wont be the same game.

Soon, everything around me will change
What I've clutched on to will remain.
It's need however
Will begin to slowly fade.

Before I know it
They will leave stains.
