Be Yourself
Caring for others
Listening to others
Seeking their attention
Valuing their opinions
All these are good
But when they grew
To the extent of
Caring less for you
Careless for yourself, rather,
You should feel you are out of track.
You become their opinion.
Their thought
Their mouthpiece
Their nonsensical mirror!
How long this should go on?
How long should you become
A stranger to your very self
A refugee to your own house
Come back to your self
Come stay with you the person
Neighbors can feed you
Hug you; caress you;
They cannot just fix you.
Your being fixed with you
Or remaining unfixed
Depends on your self-fixing...!
