White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-258 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY When I look at me I look at a life spent in vain The mirror tells Where and how I erred I visualise The time wasted In cultivating and nurturing relationships, In socialising myself That turned into liabilities at a later stage. I see myself chasing marriages Carrying coal to new castle to go ahead In the rat race In proving myself My love and integrity, intention and concern And my superiority over others Trying to satisfy everybody I ended up satisfying none My endeavour only landed me In a pool of sorrow Striving to convince others I convinced none Lost me in the way and My significant others Their changing moods And fluctuating priorities Became the source Of my happiness and sorrow Could not understand How time flew by In proving and projecting myself In satisfying my ego, hatred and greed. Pride, selfishness and malice By the time I realised Found me on the wrong side With my body and mind Not responding Let me come out of the ashtray To see whether anything still left in me To make a comeback To find that moment I have been waiting for ages Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty
