Many books you might have read. 
But, did you ever read the reader? 


Many songs you might have listened.
But, did you ever listen to the listener? 


Many places you might have explored.
But, did you ever explore the explorer? 


Many events you might have experienced. 
But, did you ever experience the experiencer? 


Many journeys you might have voyaged.
But, did you ever voyage to the voyager?


Many facts you might have known. 
But, did you ever know the knower?
This poem is inspired by ancient spiritual texts which emphasize on knowing oneself.

Rae
It’s all her fault
She let it happen
Who knew she  played the part of an insignificant  person oh so well
The extras in those movies
Yup that’s her
Everybody’s the main character in her life story but her  ,
So she settles  and hide
And politely pushes herself   to the side
Says everything all right
Pretend
Disguise
All the feelings she  tries to hide
Always come back to haunt her
Then she’s  left alone
And then ask “why “ ?

She’s  kind
And sweet
And ties everything together so neat
And then she’s  left alone
Everything unravels
And then ask “why”?
  
She says the right things
Always been supportive  
Never really cared about herself  only others
And then she’s  left alone
And resorts to writing her  emotions on a piece of paper
And then she asks “why” ?

She’s  responsible
She’s  always relied on but when it comes to her there’s never a person she can rely in
Does what she’s  told
No matter how much she breaks
She doesn’t show one crack
Her heads off the rail but she makes sure it appears on track
Never pushes anything to far
Calmly keeping up the act
She doesn’t  step but tiptoes
around everyone and anything around her
And then she’s left alone
And she really wonders “why”?

— The End —
