Ego And Alter Ego Poem by BASAB CHAUDHURI

This is my conversation with myself,
ego and alter ego face to face,
what I am and what I become,
the real and something that's not so real - a mask.

Why can't I be happy?
What does it take to fill the heart with happiness?
Can I touch happiness some day just like a jellyfish?
Will my tongue get the taste of happiness?

Confusion is a trait of my character.
Questioning is my passion.
Touching the depth is in my nature.
A different point of view is my love.

I see and at the same time I un-see,
I be and at the same time I un-be, means I do not be.
Wave and particle - yes, I am
yet I am confused whether I am.

It is difficult to understand me, right?
Better that I am forced to remain quiet.
Night deepens and these questions come,
what I am and what and why and how I become.
