Have you seen me?
I look for myself in the anonymous dark lanes, fearing to
find out what would be me. Deep down in my heart I know myself and believe I
deserve to soak in blinding lights of fame, recognition and applause.
Will I find myself at
the end of the lane?
My quest to meet myself is hindered by the countless number
of ‘others’ in whom I see a part of myself. The way they look at me colours my
mind and I take a detour. It feels like I’m stuck in a maze.
Can you tell me the way out?
I have come a long way and yet have miles to go. I need a
friend who’d lend me an encouraging hand. I need a guide who’d help me read the
map. I need a companion who’ll make the journey a happy dance.
Will you come along?

ReplyDeleteI NODDED MY HEAD FIERCELY TO THIS ONE!
Red, maybe it's a natural thing but the beauty lies in not succumbing to the reflection?
DeleteFinding oneself requires that special nudge from a loved one. And I second Red! Amen!
ReplyDeleteTrue that!
DeleteVery interesting and also the way you write is different that made me to read further.... and totally focused...Will keep coming for reading this wonderful style of writing...
ReplyDeleteI believe that we keep searching for self and as we feel we've reached self, the journey gets harder as it eludes us. Loove it. That's why I love The Alchemist which is so true bout our path of self discovery:)
