Introspection Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Introspection
Study yourself, test yourself, and rate yourself,
But it will be a fatigue that may make you tired,
Leave it for others who see your all at a glance,
May be you deserve to be high rated and admired.
It's a risk; you are beautiful but may underestimate
Introspection like any other thing has an alternate
Why don't you love someone and just look into one's eyes,
Swim in a deep blue ocean; fly in the light blue skies,
Your loved one will overlook all that's not smart
He will find what's in you is a work of art
Love can block even your thoughts polluting your charms
Your styles of talking, walking and stretching the arms
May be a stone in your bosom, love can make it a heart
For a rover of love it will be a boat with a soft thwart.
Introspect
Doomed into myself,
myself into me.
Carrying all the flaws,
the flaws are me.
Awake, the street light looks at me..
maybe its saying "Sleep, its not yet morning."
Sitting beside the window, I'm trying to swim.
The thoughts have depth, own words don't help. I'm drowning.
Arrival of morning, I'm still lost within.
They said to introspect, but this almost killed me.
I think that Dr Dillip K Swain's comment below cannot be improved on! I can only add that I like how easily the poem flowed from line to line which is not common to intellectual poems in my experience so extremely well done! !
An excellent piece of work… highly intuitive, focused and factual! …..Study yourself, test yourself, and rate yourself…a clean and clear recipe to comprehend ones personal traits bit by bit. The conceptual analysis with elegant poetic expression makes this poem great! Thanks a lot dear sir for sharing…10

Introspection is method of self discovery! A life never examined will be like stagnant water! There, worms and maggots can breed. When looking into oneself, the blemishes can be identified and rectified one by one and we will be persuaded to move into a state of near perfection! A poem with moral implications!
