The Mirror...

I wish there was a mirror,

Which told me how I felt

Which showed me my true self

But then I am afraid

That if I knew what I was

Would I still love myself?

Mirrors are traders,

They give you what you give them..

Neither less, nor more

But of some things m still unsure

Wht if …..the mirror doesn’t reflect the truth ?

Wht if ….its a shrewd trickster,

Swindling around with our images?

Coz what I see in the mirror is not me, I know

And what I really am, I still hesitate to show….

I wonder whether I will find a true mirror,

Reflecting ME,

Echoing MY voice…

Though harsh, but so true,

Though aching, but still so sweet,

Coz mirror is reflection of pretence, not thoughts

It is so untrue and false,

It deceives me throughout my life,

Gets me back to the start…

to go around again!

I blind myself to my own thirst….

I starve my soul,

Bind my flight,

Curb my voice,

Mould my image,

To fit that mirror,

Oh! That limiting mirror…

Unaware of my potential,

Ignorant of my choices……

If it’s just that mirror which hold me back

I refuse to gaze in it

I reject the need of its approval

Coz I know that it’s too shallow to gauge my depth

And I pity those who spend their whole life framed in that mirror….

Oh! That limiting mirror…..

Magic Powder

A magic to some

Many get hypnotized,

Sooner or later to learn

The tunnel ends in darkness black….

A black hole say some

Some say magic black

But I tasted the rare perfume

Which smelt truth, some time back…..

Too weak to smile

Too frail to speak

Too tied to run

Too sleepy to see

Too cold to feel

Too blinded to understand

What actually was ……

Coz I was drugged…..

Yes I WAS drugged….

The magic ended…as it was supposed to

But it was too late…

By now everyone was under its spell…

What difference does it make….

You get drugged or it drugs them all?

I woke up sadder, but wiser

Ran away when I heard it coming closer….

The magic left me with pain

And I learnt never to trust again…

Wht if….I had not been drugged?

Wht if …..I never woke?

Wht if ….I remained a slave forever…..

And gave up my all…… forever?

I wish you learn it the easier way,

But if you fall for it, which you may ..

Remember what I say

Run for your dear life straight away…..

Or get drugged like me

Crave for life and free-will

Cause it is on the kill

It IS on the kill…….
