I was a guy,

who belittled himself

to the sanity of a fullstop,

didn't know who I was

all my eyes did see were

a mesmerized fog,

a fog mesmerized at to why

I was watching it

I was clueless of my being,

felt bad about myself,

total lack of self confidence

But today, on the 16th of November, 2009,

I learnt, that like all problems,

if we hide our weaknesses,

they soon become very big monsters,

in the closet of my mind;

and I learnt, that if one must conquer,

one must be a team

the truth sets as free

but the truth is ugly

lies are handsome,

but very unhealthy.
