 I had dirt imprisoned in my nails; which seemed all the more abashing when I

stood in the limelight; confronting public, 
 
I had scores of dandruff imprisoned in my scalp; prompting me to inevitably
scratch; although it blended strikingly with my black coat, 
 
I had tumultuous strength imprisoned in my clenched fists; having stupendous
power to decimate impostors swindling the innocent, 
 
I had eloquence imprisoned in my throat; which made me chant melodious rhymes
of synchronized music, 
 
I had tenacity imprisoned in my emphatic eyes; which possessed the prowess to
melt the supremely intransigent, 
 
I had a frivolous smile imprisoned in my luscious lips; which seemed all the more profound; when I encountered ravishing beauty, 
 
I had a jugglery of obdurate muscle imprisoned in my legs; enabling me to traverse long distance in acerbic sun; bereft of a vehicle, 
 
I had millions of hair imprisoned in my skin; cushioning me from uncouth blows
of the society, 
 
I had salubrious blood imprisoned in my intricate veins; instilling in me the
strength to sustain life, 
 
I had a crimson pink tongue imprisoned in my mouth; granting me the
indispensable ability of speech, 
 
I had a bulky wallet imprisoned in my trouser pocket; making me feel
despicable; when I stripped it of its currency, 
 
I had a flamboyant horse imprisoned in my stables; on which I used to sit and
gallivant through the mountains, 
 
I had infinite lines imprisoned at the back of my palm; which audaciously
portrayed my destiny to unleash, 
 
I had unfathomable cells imprisoned in my finely chiseled brain; blessing me
with the capacity to decode the most baffling of enigmas, 
 
I had golden droplets of sweat imprisoned in my armpits; inundating the placid
surroundings with unbearable stench, 
 
I had tones of air imprisoned in my inflated lungs; which made me breathe; 
relish every unveiling second of life, 
 
I had yellow enamel camouflaging my teeth; making it impossible for me to
smile, 
 
I had nostalgic memories imprisoned in my subconscious mind; as I ruefully
reminisced all those moments when I was young, 
 
And most importantly; superseding all things; I had her love imprisoned in my
heart; which bestowed upon me the impetus to blissfully live; fight for justice in this nonchalant world.
