Interrogative Introspection


Who am I?
Am I the truth or just another lie?
What have I come here for?
To win over something which was earlier yours?

Whom do I belong to?
Am I one, many or just a few?
What name can you give me?
Is it fate or do I write my destiny?

Am I new or second hand?
Is it the first time or the umpteenth time?
Can I hold on or let it decay with slipping sand?
Does it really end or it resurrects after number nine?

Am I me or pretending to be myself?
Can I experience it as if I was someone else?
For once can I shut up and listen to myself?
For once can I be me and let MYSELF dwell?

  4. I think some days we are new and others we are here for the umpteenth time. Deja vu and all that. It's definitely best when we feel new. That's when I write my best.
    Try your best to be new even if that only means new to you.

  5. @Shettall: :) Thanks.
    @Philip: I completely agree with you.It is easy to fall back upon what you have been doing but it takes quite an effort to come up with some thing new.
    Will remember your advice. Thanks mate. :)

  6. I like the words. Makes sense, all the more because we (ppl like us) are in that phase of life ...
    The questions (most of them) are truly intellectually stimulating. However, acc to me this one is missing one clear minded flow. Even a representation of chaotic and disturbed mind would need a flow, which I somehow find missing here.
    Brave attempt though. Welcome I say ...

  7. @Devesh: Thanks. :) But, I would say it has a single strong link which happens to be 'I'....
