#aboutmyself - Hello Poetry

Am I really self-centered? Well, certainly am I not selfish Always, do I help people in need And you definitely cannot accuse me of greed For my family, cousins and friends My love and care has no end! Am I really self-centred? Not boasting, but am I kind And loyal to a fault Certainly, am I a compassionate adult And do my best to empathise with people As far as possible Including even those who don't deserve it Because, I know what it is like To be ignored or laughed at Hence, are there certain jokes For which I do my best To keep a poker face Since, I do not appreciate insensitivity After all, known am I, for my sensitivity!! Am I really self-centred? Yes, there are certain times When I do tend to be self-obsessed However, not too often do they come In fact, often has my heart bled Even when it was not required!! Am I really self-centred? Well, many a mistake have I made However, always do I apologise And give people space I don't repeat my mistakes either Because, truly do I care For the wellbeing of others!! Am I really self-centred? Many a time, have I cried Even for relatively small things Doesn't that tell you something? The fact that I care a lot About other people's opinions Should ideally show, that I am self-centred, NOT In my life, have I learned a lot of lessons And, over a period of time, changed for the better Hope this at least provides the answer To the question I have been repeatedly asking Genuinely sorry am I, for all the time wasting However, I am sure you would have understood by now As to why and how This issue means so much to me!!

Need I, to change myself? Well, the question is easy not Because what doth change exactly mean? Need I, to change my behaviour? Depends does it, on the situation However, were you to ask me to change Something that hath been a part of me For years and years The answer shall a resounding no be Because, were I to change my nature Then Ashwin I shall be no longer!! Need I, to change myself? Well, when it comest to anger management Change I can, certainly Of course, it is but something Already am I working on And I boast not But strides, have I already made Thus, am I on the right track Need I, to change myself? Well, when it comest to self-belief Agree we all should That this is but something Which I need to work on Because, currently drowning am I In a pool of insecurities Some of them being self-created But yes, working on it am I Through therapy and reading the gospel everyday And of course, penning poems like this!! Need I, to change myself? Well, when it comest to certain painful incidents in the past Do well I certainly could To make an earnest effort Towards forgiving and forgetting Not because those people deserve it But for my own inner peace As have said repeatedly All those dear to me Need I, to change myself? Well, were there something Which I am happy with not Then yes, may some tweak be needed Because, as said a very dear cousin sister of mine Change is but something Which would keep me happy and protected Need I, to change myself? Well, when it comest to my character Once again, the answer shall a resounding no be Of course, a few behaviours here and there Can altered be, if required But then, doth it apply to everyone And most importantly Believe in myself, I must No matter what Again the words of my dear cousin Amen!

If you ask me about me, I can honestly and painfully tell you I fall in love with people whom never been loved. I always want to pour myself in the mouths whom never tasted love. I suffocate them doing so. I drown them in it. I bury them. I love harshly, dangerously, strongly because loving them with the efforts and knowingness, that I too was never loved. Never understood. Never heard. I want to stand in for all that never was in their lives. I see deserving in them, deserving of all the love within me. My love is gluttonous.

ME

If you ask me about me, I can honestly and painfully tell you I fall in love with people whom never been loved. I always want to pour myself in the mouths whom never tasted love. I suffocate them doing so. I drown them in it. I bury them. I love harshly, dangerously, strongly because loving them with the efforts and knowingness, that I too was never loved. Never understood. Never heard. I want to stand in for all that never was in their lives. I see deserving in them, deserving of all the love within me. My love is gluttonous.
