SELF

Walking along the one man trail
Planning to do something,I know I would fail
I wondered and wondered about who I really am

Throughout the journey of life
I never wished to be alone
But amidst the voices in my head,I hear
I knew that the time is finally near
That time,the very time to desert myself
And start knowing thyself

Who am I?I ask
Listening to hear my heart back
But I hear not,a single syllable
Silence,is all that it returned
Has my heart gone numb,I mumble
That thought and my heart tremble
Felt it at the right spot with my finger
And heard it beating like for a singer
I have not yet received the answer
Doubted  whether my heart knew it either

Now I find myself lost
In the thick dark forest of my own thoughts
There is neither  light
And none to guide
Where do I go?I have no hint
I searched for some help to find my way
But  nobody seemed to have succeeded the play
Failed to spot even a footprint
The flame of hope flickered and gradually died

I thought and thought and finally realized
The only way out is to chop down the forest
That forest,created on nothing but my madness

I decided to kill the question
The question that I kept asking myself
At the end of the half traveled journey
I now realize,finding myself doesn't really matter
If I am good to the world
Then the world would be good to me too
That's all needed for a happy pleasing life
And that's  all  I ever wanted
