Bigger Than Myself

BIGGER THAN MYSELF


   When thoughts cease to flow
     where does ego go
       blowing bubbles of illusion,
         creating confusion.

    All along tried to pull the trigger
    to hit the bigger personality than mine,
    so that I can adore, I can admire,
    I can depend on a genuine adviser
     My idol, my mentor
    to venture free in thorny journey of life
   or atleast to love on dreamy desire.

    I regret not to meet one in my familiar zone.
    Searched and searched in vain only to rue. 
    Though true, interacted lot not few.
    If seemed bigger from far,
    coming close got shocked to look at small aperture. 

    All around small pebbles rolling stumbling, mountain not to reach.
    In the last phase I had to realize silhouette of ill fate
    overshadowed me, being bigger than myself.
    May be aromanticism floating in my heart 
    or narcissism is  bubbing in my blood.
