The ‘me' I Hardly Knew Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

The ‘me' I Hardly Knew

Rating: 5.0


Thinking for long about me
That failed to surface like cream,
In an early morning dream
I once met the real me…

I found him inconsistent,
And open to sudden change,
At any unknown moment
Found his behaviour strange,
And always hard to predict,
And harder still to label,
Prone to heart-induced errors,
Yet, transparent like mirrors,
For, he was a liberal
Out himself to contradict!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Initially when I found these traits in me, I thought of changing myself. My elders/seniors also gave similar input. And one day I realized the truth…. Mahatma Gandhi, I read somewhere, refused to be consistent. So was Nobel Laureate and poet Tagore. He often changed his views. Yes, there is little merit in being consistent and predictable, though society may like this trait.

Thanks dear PP for the good words. But, from AP to PP, let me this tell.. Off late I am trying to put my thoughts in the so-called modern format of penning poems.

An honest evaluation of oneself. The world is always changing. There are times that our decisions and ways need to be modified to cope with the modern times. Probably, the only thing that we should be consistent with is the moral aspect of our decisions and ways. A great insightful poem. Well conveyed and crafted.

I like your feedback. You're right about the moral aspects one's personality/character that need to be consistent.

A sincere self evaluation! There is an amount of inconsistency in everyone. Sometimes we behave in a way we never anticipate or others expect. Such unpredictability can be a little troublesome. But being hard like a rock without budging an inch from one's previous stance also is not quite good! Great thoughts....
