If It Was Me

I wouldn’t be rude to anyone the way others are, thinking that being rude can control someone. I wouldn’t lie to anyone like those who defend themselves using false phrases. I wouldn’t cheat anyone the way some friends—or even love—can. I wouldn’t discriminate between urban and rural lives. I wouldn’t be disrespectful or misbehave, especially when someone trusts me enough to recommend me—for a workspace or elsewhere. I wouldn’t offend others like different generations often do. I wouldn’t bring self-discrimination into my life. I wouldn’t body-shame myself or chase artificial ideals that don’t fit me. I wouldn’t try to be someone else or shape my life around someone else’s path. I want to live as who I truly am. I will never adopt attitudes that make my life unhealthy. I will never falsely accuse someone of being a bad secret-keeper. I will never place someone’s problem on another person who has nothing to do with it.

This Moment

 


He collated himself to an opulent

Who is ahead of him

He wasn’t in the range of breathing the air of prosperity

Nor in the vicinity of luxury

                                                  

He drenched himself

in the pool of hallucination

to lead a life of plethora

And compared his LITTLE LESS life

 

This moment...

 

Reality embraces his soul

as he tipped his head

towards the corner of the highway

Where he wanders

the life of Riley

 

This was his silent struggle

 

Until he seizes the site

where an amputee beggar

and his life saviors,

a crutch and a pair of prosthetic legs

 

He said,

Shall I compare my life and yours

The life I have is like Mount Everest

And yours is akin to the ice on the summit of it.

 

This moment...

 

the cloud of envy trespassed before him

He vaguely smiled

And a note placed on

And he tilted the head

to get a glimpse of the mansion

 

Then emerged the unrequited salvation of strife!
