Low Me.
by shalinijena
I am flawed.
I am the definition of a perfect defect.
I think about saving the world,
helping the poor
making a difference,
cos I got nothing else to do.
I am jealous.
Because I am not happy.
I search for faults in others
Because they got some purpose,
while I got none.
All of a sudden
I don’t know who I am
Where I belong
What I want
Where I stand
Friends of who I cared
Seem like strangers
Like fools
of some other planet
to who I neither relate
nor understand
I am bored
because I am empty
There is nothing to try
and nothing to fail
I am lost
and that’s
just few of the lot.
SHAJ 
I am wondering, why I didn’t read this y’day, it was my all low day I guess 😉 Thanks for flying by my blog. Will come back and catch up! 🙂
That was fantastic poem! I only wish I had your talent 🙂
they are just mindless feelings of the moment 🙂
There are times when everything we counted on and understood dissolves in the gloom of an emotional trough or relationship failure. Perspective, however, is not reality. Let us hold on to the truth that God is still there holding this frayed world together.
True and thank you. I do love my life btw 🙂
I am burning like hell right now. I should have written that one….oh no oh no oh no! I LOVE IT
😀 I am glad!
I was under the impression, it is me who has to take the legacy of Kamala das ahead..Uffff, I was so wrong…Bravo!
That’s kind of flattering, only if you are NOT sarcastic 😛
of course not sarcastic. If I refer to her name, is only cause i am her big follower. Your poetry had a glimpse of her. Please continue writing in this space as and when it comes. God bless you
Thank you so much 🙂
*fascinating -> dreaming
😀
I love how co-incidence works, Sha! I absofuckingly LOVE it:
a. I quit my job to work on ‘spreading joy’
b. I don’t find motivation in being materialistic/fascinating about concrete jungles
c. I am lost [And I happy since am exploring]
d. My close friend just put me off his life after his rough times were over & I always served him a doormat and I never realized this
e. Ennui loves me too
And I love you!
LOL! 😀
First we got a lot in common girl! 😉
second, I am glad I was low. 😛
Cheers to us and to our neverending ennui! 😀
There is only one medicine for this state: Travel ! Alone, that is.
haha. true. Once I start earning, that will the first thing. 🙂
Arre steal if you have to ! I had a thousand bucks and I was in Laddakh for over a week- parents didn’t even know 🙂
Lol. U dont know my dad. He is the army man! 😛
And i should follow ur idea! Shit. That will be so super dooper kewl! 😀
And btw. Why do travellers love ladakh so much? 😮
Well you are his daughter 🙂 And the world knows that daughters are always a step ahead ! So.. 🙂
I was not sure either why they rate Laddakh so high on the places-to-be-list. But when I was there, with nobody around and walked 30 kms/day on foot- I guess I did learn a lesson or two 😛 It might be because you are close to nature. Away from mobiles and computers. Its just …you… there you know… Any place would be as good, if I am to be believed.. 🙂 Inexplicable experiences.
You deserve a big hug for this poem! Each verse is an independent story so true it resonates deep into every human mood/character. I especially love this: “I am flawed. I am the definition of perfect defect.”
This has made my day. Thanks.
That makes me feel better for a day like this.. Thanks 🙂 A lot!
