Whatever I do is done by someone
Whatever I speak is a mime there
Whatever I read is read there by someone
just like me
A short and thin person

"Am I sleepy"
Was the question in my heart
"Certainly not"
Was the response by my mind
"Was it a ghost ?"
My mind asked
"No not a ghost just like me"
My heart responded.

I was pale and blank
So I asked my mom
A "MIRROR" was the response

I then realised that a mirror
can do whatever I do
and speak the same words just like me but with a mime.
And show how I am.

I being a small kid of 7 years discovered something new.

Walking on
shattered dreams like
broken glass;
piercing the soles of
my feet like the
soul of my
heart.

Untied my laces and
slipped off
my shoes;
it's hard to
let go when you've
nothing to
lose.

Fill my cup
     with your scent
   Let me drown
           in your essence
               I'm dying
           of thirst
And you're the only
      sustenance
On which
      I can thrive
   And finally
        *Feel alive

How I've longed
To kiss your heartbeats
     Into the open...*
