Stranger in the home

                                     I am a stranger in my home
                                            Confined to myself
                                       My bedroom is my abode
                                          My study is my world.
                                           Lonely but not alone
                                      I am in the  company of my
                                       Thoughts and imagination

                                       Aliens may not appreciate
                                         They find me eccentric
                                         They may shower pity
                                        And sympathy over me
                                         Poor beings, devoid of
                                        Beauty and glory of life
                                         Living like vegetables

                                             I am not alone
                                      Many met the same fate
                                  Difficult to judge, who is right
                                   The onlookers may be wiser.
                                    Mundane but closer to life
                                       At the end of the day
                                   It is one's choice which rules
