The air was rife with the welcoming fragrance of jasmine buds and dried spices - the stench of sickness and death long gone. With each step she took forwards, her feet felt freer and lighter - the hard shackles of prison having been cast aside for the silvery sensation of anklets. And as a short gust of breeze flapped her veil backwards, Heera almost glanced over, imagining that she'd been gifted wings - the wings of freedom.

My ego throws thorns in my own path -

a barrier to the long road of learning.

A small part of me wants to ask you to stop O friend, to not leave;

when my pride starts its bitter churning!

Tis true, my ego is what saves me

from losing face and trials umpteen!

But a lot of it could be avoided in the first place,

If I would simply ask 'What could this mean?'

Part of me suspects I'm a loser, and the other part that I'm God Almighty!

Oh Khuda, my ego is a complex thing!

Impossible to follow, though I know balance is the key -

Both; a humility to listen up, and yet a belief in my own being.

The Shehzaade facing up to his ego.😊

The verses voice the struggle within himself with impeccable precision.👍🏼

The edit- the sitting stance , his look- you have captured it all brilliantly, Sahiba!⭐️ 👏

Thank you Rosejaan!

The art was directly lifted off the 'dark prince' from the prince of Persia... but yes... I thought the expressions and the entire representation (half of him gold, half dark, on a throne) was quite close to the Shehzaade... 😳
