Doppelganger me.


Is it just me
or every waking spirit,
coats itself
with a shield of glee.

Masking the accepted
social smile,
and revealing the dread
in the depths of night.

This is not often
though spontaneous;
observations, jesters,
noticed by me.

Juggling in others
the mirrors of me,
or mirroring myself
on others plea.

Is that for real
that is apparent to all..
or the one confronted,
just by me.

Do people belong
to where they are?
Or where their hearts,
might as well be?

Is it in us
that the pair of the claws
of the closet
resides?

Or shall I
ask myself,
is it walking barefoot,
strolling somewhere outside?

Nonetheless,
wherever it be;
call it inside
or outside of me,

There is a cold
breeze of air,
surrounding the enchanted
just the thought of thee.

Some confront them
others choose to ignore,
letting it behave as a passing thought
or a shadowy history.

But with me in it,
the scenario changes;
as I love to shake hands
with the doppelganger me.

Stay Raw.


Don't shut your eyes
face the ugly truth.
Let the pupil inject
the moment's balloon.

Don't turn your back
to the tethering crowd.
Rather punch back the blurb
hard and tight.

Stay raw,
bathe naked in sunshine.
Be aware of the fact
the night balm melts with time.

Laugh it off
if need be puke it out.
But don't keep it to yourself
the baggage of droops.

Confront the real you
shake hands with your shadow.
Ask her to stay anywhere
but not inside of you.

Only then you can scan yourself
X-ray it well.
Staying raw is not primitive
it's then you'll find the new you.
