You already are
Not what the world
Wants you to be
Dig in deeper
And run through
The vacant tunnels
There’s a parallel world
That exists within
Always a paradox
At the helm of confusion
To be someone
Carved out from
Ideas of popularity
Dichotomy too strong
Not for the feeble hearted
To realize the true self
And emerge from the shadows
Pulled apart
Before you realize
It’s a constant battle
When you can devote
The energy
To build a meaningful life
Because you already are ©

I continue to be struck by how you write things exactly in the way I see them 😉 You add the poetic touch, of course, which isn’t much in my repertoire. That’s what makes it such fun. You think in a similar way but express it using a different language. It’s wonderful. Thanks and greetings, Sam 🙂

Sam, that’s such a wonderful thing to say and this is a huge compliment for me. 🙂 We are intuitive minds I guess and see and experience life from a different perspective. 😉 We may be using different forms of writing to express life, but realize and see life from the same light. Your writings are what I connect to and every passage that you share from your books are a revelation and makes me ponder. It’s a learning for me. Always appreciate your encouragement and thanks always for the feedback you give. Greetings, Amitav. 🙂
