Poetry

I Am Me

I am born –
Into a certain genetic combination;
Into a certain social, cultural economic fabric –
That is not me.

I am trained, I am conditioned –
That is not me.

I am me,
Because –
I dream, I hope, I think,
I journey through life discovering myself,
Once found, I aspire perfection.

Then when I peer into myself;

I see the world just the way it is
And all the beauty it contains,

I am free from all the ties that bind
I bind myself to the world around me,
I revel in these ties that bind.

I see the barriers in my head dissolve
I see humanity and marvel at it,
I revel in being human.

			I write what impacts me, what strikes my fancy; as I live my life day after day.

Once an idea takes hold, I go where it takes me as I try to shape it into some form of written expression.  

Each idea is a beginning of something inexplicable.  As I work with one, it may grow into fruition, go dormant biding time or just die away.

As I run with an idea through the annals of my mind, not knowing what would be fashioned from it, I discover something about myself, gain better understanding of the people and the world around me.

On this blog I have shared some of that experience as stories or poetry or essays.  I have also added some quotes I like.  

If you enjoy reading the pieces as much as I enjoy writing them, please share this-link with someone you know.

Thank you,
Lekha Murali
