Decided to leave

It was not me at all

How could have that much fall?

I was so resolute and brilliant

This looked something subservient

 

How can I look like cruel man?

I did all fine things for man and woman

How many institutions were run on charity?

They had fine display of standard and quality

 

I thought something had really gone wrong

The theme was entirely different from original song

The mirror had no real reflection of its own

But I was renowned man and well known

 

Till this time I was falsely made to believe

It was under falsehood that I presented and lived

It struck my mind that mirror is reminding me of something

It has altogether different picture for real thing

 

Even though I had escaped people’s attention

My conscious was there for its mention

It spoke gently when I was facing mirror 

There absolutely no misjudgment or an error

 

The mirror was reminding me of impeding danger

I was about to face ire, rage and anger

People were trying to know about my intention

I was fool not to catch nerves and attention

 

Was this a stern warning to mend the ways?

Was it some signal to remind me of going away?

I thought of it and decided to shed the double life

How difficult it was to live on the edge of the knife?

 

It works on no particular principles

You may find many followers or disciples

But the moment their goal was over

You will be left alone to find the shield or cover

 

I laughed at the mirror impression

Though I was same but left me with depression

What would happen if I am dragged and made scapegoat?

I will have no shore, no friends or no body in the boat

I have had some tell me that others see us completely different than we see ourselves. That others see us in a better light. Recently, I had one tell me something completely different. She said some of us see ourselves in a better light than others do. She implied that some of us are horrible creatures and don't realize it. Maybe, it is somewhere in between all of this. I seriously think that it is a good idea to look inside ourselves and be sure of who we are and what we are doing. To stop and reflect........excellent piece my friend.

Your experience may not be confined just to you. It appears to me its the rage of the times, how the past is catching up to us in the experience of karma. When it is possible to bring ourselves around to view the whole world in our perceptive experience, it becomes a little better. A nice write!

Perception is ever in the mind of the beholder and not just the image recorded or seen. Afterwards all images are subject to a mind's modification as to what was and wasn't there... life isn't fair.
