Draupadi I am
For not marrying five men
but embracing five virtues of them
Arising from the fire like her
Being honest, truthful and unparalleled
Draupadi I am
Mindful of my thoughts
Believing the infinite krishna
the supreme enternal energy
the translucent force of existence
Draupadi I am
learning the lessons of life
as she learnt the vedas and shastra
playing with words like her with arts
being brave amidst getting ripped apart
Draupadi I am
Every time I looked upon the God
saved by the miracle hands of HIS
arising from the sea of disgrace
fierce enough to believe HIM and arise
Draupadi I am
The day I decided to marry integrity
No matter what, will be honest to my thoughts
to my quest and to my deeds
Living every moment truthfully as it is last
Draupadi I am
The day I decided to marry courage
To be brutally brave and be strong
A well-deserved choice and willingness
to confront pain, agony and intimidations
Draupadi I am
The day I embraced the smartness within
wilfully struggling to be skilfully high
fighting every battle of life
with the mighty will and wisdom of Arjuna
Draupadi I am
The day I married being humble
attractive, diplomatic and helpful
Loving to cook and feed people
Always wanting my akshyapatra refilled
Draupadi I am
The day I awakened to be beautiful
making God my everyday companion
Life making me wise, mystically compassionate
Faith is the biggest sword I used to fight
Yes, Draupadi I am
Just because, Krishna is my name
what matters most, is HOW
well you walk through the fire!
And become one with Lord in life's game!
