Magic Box (September 3,1992)
Who I Am
Tell me, how can I be like one guy I'm not?
What is so wrong; Showing what I have got?
Everybody knows, that life is too short,
Then why act like we're in a bad wicked plot?
Reader may think, this is just random thought,
NO! Since I'm cant get all the answers I sought
I'm gonna fight, Though I have never fought!
But I'll stand up, Even lit match stick is hot
I just dont give a damn even if I'm caught
They may rip off my soul, no regrets, on spot
Yet I dont care, I shall give my best shot
For my self and soul, like my teachers then taught
This is me, telling all, I'm no scapegoat!
Ready for war, armed with belt and brown coat,
Those men who agree, shall give me one vote,
No more commas now, I am done; Thats it. Dot.

This is a good poem Aswath and well penned. Thanks
You write wonderful poems, Aswath! Through this write you have mirrored yourself and your struggles! I feel so much for your feeling of loneliness.But I'm sure your writing poetry for which you have beautiful skills would help you in a large way.And with your studies you should be fully occupied! With all best wishes!
you feel alone even if you are standing in the middle of the crowed, there always this voice inside your head saying you don't belong here, inside your mind you know you are a different person you decide to be one yet you can't be one.....but still it doesn't mean that you are weird it means that your time hasn't come yet and when it will come people will scream your name...and all you will think that............ god what should i do with weirdos........
great job sir........bravo
Everyone has struggles, but in this world we are not alone. There is always someone weird enough like us to be by our side.
You are well ahead of many with an indomitable spirit and a verve to fight for your own space.If you have that undying spirit of fight within you, if in permissible limits, don't look back. Go ahead! ! I really enjoyed this poem, especially the way you have concluded it! ! Aswath.. thankyou for your sweet comments! !
I am not worthy of your wayward wierdness. Another fine write my friend. Always someone stronger, faster, smarter than you. But your talent reaches far beyond and inspires many alike. I would gladly stand on the frontline of battle with you.
