Person and Personality
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
At my mirror I stare
Ask who is this person?
And what is this person?
The one that me back stares
Nice, honest, a loving person
Is that who I am in this house
The same? , once I walk out of the house
That turns to someone different
The person in me is independent
But not independent is the personality
Though both are not different entities
Personality is a knower
Personality is a desirer
Personality is a doer
Personality is a dreamer
Involved in role-playing
And in employing these powers
While independent of them
Is the person fair
It's a simple being, pure
Beautiful and full
While personality is hurtful
Creating all the problems
It's nothing
But a collection of in-built reactions
Let me cite an example
Here is a man who has had
With his wife a quarrel
With a bang he shuts the door
Comes out of the house with no cheer
Yet the way he shuts
Reveals that the husband is still there
Though he has left his wife dear
And this is husband's hangover
A role rolling over unto a person
Until he arrives at his office
The husband is still there
One role overlapping the other
Resulting in a build-up of reactions
Crystallizing unto a personality
Made up of leftover reactions
Such as anger, jealousy, hatred
Frustration and so on
Nice comparison between person and personality. Resulting in a build up reactions personality plays a major role either in positive or negative perception. Beautifully presented poem.
Our personality out side is very volatile! It changes according to our moods and the demand of the situations! Yet there will be left over reactions! If we had an unpleasant experience sometime before that day, it will have a lingering effect on our personality the rest of the day! Interesting write Deepak!
Beautiful poem where person and personality reflects differently every time. One's personality is flexible and changes with the situation. Sometimes he may carry the same personality whole day long, while if any pleasant things happens in mid of day, his personality can be cheerful and may forget whatever happened in morning. Mostly one thoughts leads to another. Loved the way you presented it so well.
I liked the deep felt thoughts that you have penned down. Beautiful, thought provoking lines.
