Define Me

You define me as the Almighty.

You define me as the Supreme Self.

But do you know

Who I really am?

You search in the dark corners
For me.

You chant hymns so that

I may appear before you.

But think; you have left out a place,

A sanctum.

‘YOU’

Within you, I rest;

I’m with you from birth till death.

Do you want to know

Who I really am?

I’m a figment

No, I’m more than a figment
I’m a part of your subconscious

Which tells you

What’s right and what’s wrong.

I’ve defined myself to you

Now, you define me.

The Limelight

The paparazzi pursued a figure,

A thespian.

She was dazzling in her outfit,

The flash bursts made her look literally like a star;

The star-struck people gathered around her

With placards and banners.

She had attained stardom.

But what I could see was her silhouette,

Coz I couldn’t find her genuine self.

The glare of publicity had covered up
Her own self.

Should this be the attitude?
She fails to realize that the Limelight
Lives short.
