Always in my skin
But inside me
It is others that I see
When I was child
“Speak the truth
Great men speak true”
Was what my teachers said
Truth is something that great men say
What do ‘I’ speak?
What does the born ‘Me’ say?
When I grew up a bit
My friend said
“You are a Dumbo!!
If u want to be in demand
Speak less, listen more..”
As if this world’s a store.
Today I listen more
Maybe the born ‘I’
Was a good orator
and thus, I question
what is it that ‘I’ do?
What is it that the born ‘I’ does?
When in the street light
With my shadow beside
I realize that I’m an exhibitionist
Always been looked at
By my shadow or by the born ‘I’
With the question still unanswered
Who is ‘I’?
Am ‘I’ born?
Or is ‘Me’ Cultivated??
