I dont wanna be me

Every morning when I wake..
My existence seems to me to be so fake..
Pretending to be somebody else, Am I just an apostate?
grappling my soul to become somebody it was not
the soul digressing elsewhere, this storm is not going to abate

As I see my reflection in the mirror while I clean my teeth..
So helpless I feel, my alter ego taking a back seat..

As I take the bath, thinking it would make me pure
So many guilts scorching my conscience, make me so unsure..

As I spend other day in office, I sold my body and soul
Standing at the edge of the cliff , but not ready to make the fall

As I go to bed at night to take some rest
My mind taunting me
'How can u just sleep boy, when once again you've failed the test

When you were kid, I taught u to be free
You forgot my lesson, accepted your bonded labour with glee.

When you were kid, I taught u character
You killed your soul, turned into a malefactor

When you were kid, I taught you to be true..
You crossed all your limits, lied to everyone, just to get through..

When you were kid, I taught you to be humble..
You shred to pieces eveyone's feelings, like u r king of a jungle..

When you were kid, I taught u to love ur parents and take their care
You earn a million bucks here, they weep for you there, your presence so rare..

How can u just sleep boy, when once again you've failed the test'

Fantabulous!!! Really. Most of us think this evry moment.
The mapping such thoughts to ink is amazing.

Boy a drop of courage will let you free. just a drop.
