Nitika Sawhney
A different me I saw in me, like literally
The uniqueness in us, though widely known
For me but, it was something unknown
Trying to decipher my dissimilarities
I grew up imbibing your similarities
A smile here, a shout there
Absorbed a lot to show-off my flair
To be counted among the accepted men
I showed-off as a natural, so clever I was then
.
Hidden somewhere in me, was inferiority complex
What I considered alien, and felt distressed
With age and time, like you I matured
Realization dawned, and I found my cure
.
A different me, I now see in me
The uniqueness in us that’s widely known
Introspect says, I breathe in a skin of my own!
