When I am alone
in my own company.
we converse with each other.
We converse with each other,
of conflicts , raging in the battlefield of mind.
of turmoils and anguish , away from prying world.
We debate with each other,
in the courtyard of our maternal home
of the rights and wrongs of the bygone past.
We fight with each other.
the sibling's trivial trifles.
Only to patch up the chasm.
We cry on each other's shoulders,
sharing the sunshine and cloudy days
and wipe each other's dew drops.
We laugh together
and the sound echoes manifold
to reverberate in the alleys of the heart.
I love my own company.
When I am all alone,
I talk to myself.
When I talk to me
I can be me, sans mask
of fake emotions.
I talk to myself
in unspoken words
as none understand me,
better than myself.

P.S. :- As socialogists say that man is a social animal and it is necessary for him to get along with other people for his mental well-being.In this fast paced life, it is necessary to be alone to introspect and have some me-time.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your encouragement Apala.
DeleteAt times, we are lost amidst the daily chores and demands from family and friends. Our 'Me' time really helps to tap the potential of the subconsious mind and explore new areas :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I am a great FAN of your poetry now:) :)
Thank you so much Gayatri. I should thank you for introducing blogging to me. But we forget to have our 'Me' time.
DeleteThat's the best thing to do! no one knows us better than us.... and if anyone can tell us what is the right thing to do..it would be just us!
ReplyDeleteAgree, the little princess.
DeleteLearning to love oneself and be comfortable with oneself is an art. One that we must all learn. Because we spend more time with ourselves than with other people.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, loving oneself is the most difficult thing to do as one is always critising oneself and constantly comparing oneself to others. We should stop this.
Deletethis time of the day is my fav time.. Me time... how i love myself then :)
ReplyDeleteYes evening time is also 'Me' time for me , SuKu .
Deletesuch a beautiful rhythm.. the poetry itself brings out the best about human nature.. as you have rightfully mentioned...
