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.
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.
