White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-258
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY 

When I look at me 
I look at a life spent in vain 
The mirror tells 
Where and how I erred 

I visualise 
The time wasted
 In cultivating and nurturing relationships, 
In socialising myself 
That turned into liabilities at a later stage.
I see myself chasing marriages 
Carrying coal to new castle to go ahead 
In the rat race 
In proving myself
My love and integrity, intention and concern
And my superiority over others

Trying to satisfy everybody 
I ended up satisfying none 
My endeavour only landed me
In a pool of sorrow 
Striving to convince others
I convinced none 
Lost me in the way and
My significant others
Their changing moods 
And fluctuating priorities 
Became the source 
Of my happiness and sorrow 

Could not understand
How time flew by 
In proving and projecting myself 
In satisfying my ego, hatred and greed.
Pride, selfishness and malice 
By the time I realised 
Found me on the wrong side 
With my body and mind
Not responding 

Let me come out of the ashtray 
To see whether anything still left in me 
To make a comeback 
To find that moment 
I have been waiting for ages
