I lOST MY IDENTITY
Believe me! I lost entity of my own shadow
When I followed shadows of so - called greats.
Sometimes Nietzsche ruled my fresh mind
Sometime Jesus appeared to rectify them.
I intend to perceive myself as Buddha
But my behaviour favoured Hitler then.
Do their souls embody inside me?
Or my own soul is dead alive then
I gaze at my own plain mirror
I can't find reflection of mine.
I'm searching myself inside me
But not capable to find out yet.
Shall I manage for meditation
Or need to seek for revolution.
I need to visualise myself inside me
To establish myself as an unique me.
I need to preserve my fresh image
To ensure my own precious identity.
It is indeed a great poem.Congratulations for poem of the day.Every individual has his own identity and an inner cry to see it distinctively.But it may be shadowed by the so called greats.The pain of lost identity and cry to establish own image so marvelously portrayed in this poem- - - - - I gaze at my own plain mirror I can't find reflection of mine. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I need to preserve my fresh image To ensure my own precious identity.

A nicely crafted poem with a philosophical undertones seeking self-discovery. Thanks. I quote: I'm searching myself inside me But not capable to find out yet.
I don't think you lost your identity, you are exploring in life and we as human beings oft tend to look at the best and famous personalities of the wolrd, like Hitler (your poem) as the most powerful man, everyone was afraid of him, till he commtted suicide because he lost the war, like Jesus (your poem) the highest Almighty with no sins at all, indeed we tend to be the utmost best but the experience in life make our mind change, maturitygives the clue
Nice expression with beautiful words, thank you poet.
A very good and thought provoking poem. We become a composite of many big and small personalities before realizing that none actually belongs to us. Our own self is simply a reflective mirror holding layers of perceptions for us to choose from. Congratulations for member poem place and thanks for sharing it.
It is always good to find yourself and know exactly who you are.
