Losing Self

Losing self 



I lose myself 
In many colours of my child's laughter 
In soft caress of those candid smiles 
In sleepless nights of innocent cries,

I lose myself 
On busy roads that once led to school 
On weekends usually long awaited 
On festivals and family celebrations,

I lose myself 
As I pass by the shopping malls 
As I wait outside of cinema halls
As I queue up for Nando's n chillies,

I lose myself 
To relive memories etched in time.
