Self
My self
Do I have the strength to take on my self?
Question so deep like sea shelf
It has bothered me always
As I could not properly guess
If someone really wants to know
How have I managed with river flow?
I should have remained grateful
For their being so thankful
Yet there is an urge from within
It depends on how I assess and win
How much I have an ability to withstand
This will shape destiny for others to understand
I may not exactly know
About person with whom I want to go
The calm water sometimes prove illusory
That really makes me to feel so sorry
I have limitations to go through
To face the situation really tough
It was likely to cause confusion
Yet I faced no such compulsion
What an ordinary man to reveal?
When he has nothing to conceal
Life is crystal like water
To prove sincere one need not act as hater
I shall not be able to speak
As I have proved weak
Yet ground has proved firm
Only I have stand tough and confirm
