I with Myself

Take care of seconds; minutes will take care of themselves,
Take care of You; The World will take care of itself,
You always say, "The World is so ugly, not worth living",
Saying so, have you ever seen the World inside yourself?


I stopped for a while, spared a thought to the above line,
Wasn't that an utter nonsense, a sheer waste of time ?
It's the others who need to improve, I was born faultless,
It's you with zillion imperfections, I am just the perfect;


Shrugging off my shoulders, I just moved ahead,
The distance to be covered was still more, time was less,
But as you know I always had been a believer of short-cut,
And the greenery in my pockets is loved too much;



A few hassles here and there, I reached my destination,
Ecstatic as I was, I started a huge celebration,
In that frenzy I saw all the people are of my kind,
So perfect, So faultless yet So dark, so selfish;

Now I realize what I see outside is what I am Inside,
I was always a success, an achiever but was never right,
The World was never Ugly, But today it appeared so fair,
Funny But true, to know me I needed someone to hold mirror.
