Am I? Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Am I?
Tuesday,29th October 2019

I am selfish
so finish
the sentence with self-pride
and honestly decide

what makes me think?
and put ink
for self-esteem
and trim the whole body

am I so beautiful?
or successful
in life
even though it is torn with strife

past memory hunts in despair
I stare
in the mirror
and find human error

who am I in this earthly heaven?
why should I think even?
why should I narrow down?
an answer is made not known

I brush aside
and confide
in confidence
why should I feel tense?

if nature is kind!
I find
its reflection in my movement
I really feel proud at this moment
