Identity

Who am I?

I asked my father once,

He left me into wonders contemplating,

“Find yourself!”

From then on, till now I am on the voyage..

Moving on and on, yet haven’t reached any point,

I still ask myself, who am I?!

I am none yet I am all,

I am a fraction of self with so many selves interacting with you all,

I am what you see and what I don’t see,

I am what I see but you don’t see!

I am one and all yet I am nothing at all!

Who am I?!

A summation of integrated experiences that brings me to the null,

I want to look deep into my skull and find what’s inside of it-

Reflection or reflexes?!

I am what I reflect and what I not!

Now the question is reflected back ,

I humbly ask,

Well, Who are you?!

Audacity

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles
