The Self's Riddle Poem by Aman Biswas

You think too much
Before you thought too little
On a journey to find yourself
You lost the purpose you set out with


You look at a mirror
To see whats beside you
Forgetting that it can't show
Whats right behind you


Only if you would turn
To see what stands in your shadow
What creeps behind you
Where stands your actual foe


Only if you would trace your steps
To see where you began
How you took your first step
While remembering how you dressed


You forgot that you were you
When you set out on a journey to find self's riddle
And now that you are so far ahead
You have lost yourself, little by little


Only if you would realize
That its as easy as to go back a few steps
To find your true self
That you set out on a journey to intercept
