Temptation Poem by Poornima Thapa

Temptation

Rating: 5.0


Living life with a depth,
Fighting a battle with self,
With what I think,
And to what I perceive.
The wrongs and rights,
The war waging inside me,
of the shadows with the shades.
Sometimes even I couldn't gauge
the whys of the what.
The heart, a mirror,
the conscience with a soul,
You see what I am not,
I see myself, not being me.
That make me strangely
a stranger, not quite free.
My own self lost somewhere,
missing something in everything.
Not quite here, not quite there,
A part as seen, a part as been.
