Knock knock…
Who is there?
It’s me.
What do you wear, Gucci?
No, a simple T. Oh is it!!
Where do you eat, at fine dining?
No, I love the street.
So downmarket!!!
Hey, you don’t walk in elegance and style!
I don’t know.
How do you achieve it?
Believe me, I tried!
I tried to read and understand.
I strived to choose the best values,
I tried to live my life humanely,
I preferred kindness,
I connected with joy,
I learned to recognize my ego,
I discovered how to silence my mind.
Oh! I think you have comprehended it wrongly!
For you to be somebody,
You need to do just the contrary!
You will not accomplish anything like this!
Start again. This time try harder.
Kill that compassion. Keep that nose up.
Your head in the air.
And attitude, high.
For you to be valued,
Conceal the true you.
Keep them guessing.
Keep them at bay.
Allow the price tags to talk, Okay???
Oh no…! Why put up an act?
I can’t do all this… !
I only know how to be me.
Authenticity is crucial to my being!
Maybe, I am naive.
Maybe, I will never learn worldly ways.
Maybe, this would keep me alienated.
Maybe, I go astray.
Yet, this is what I choose to be.
Happily a misfit!
