The Other Man Poem by Asokan Suppiah

The Other Man

Sit still concentrate
Look at me
You remember me
I am the man
Inside you
The other man
The one you talk with
When you feel lonely
The one who rejoice
At your success and
Shed tears for
Your sorrows
The one take the burden of
Your wrongs and guilt
The one who voices
The words of encouragement
When you fall apart
The one who knows
The secrets buried
Deep inside you
I am the other man
The man
Help you in taking decisions
And stand by you
Till the end

I am the other man
The negative of
The man you are today
The one who lives
Within you and
Dies within you
Without recognition
So concentrate
For a moment and
Look at me
Find the short comings
in me and sort it out to
Perfect your life because
I am the other man
The reflection of you
