TWO SIDES

 Naked feet dipped in salty sea

Breeze shifting something in me

Looking at the ever changing sky

I realise, ponder, wonder and sigh

at the battle between the two halves

of my identity which are nothing but

the morales against the rationales 

which are nothing but who I am

against who I pretend to be 

which are moons apart yet in one body

constantly fighting to win everybody

but to lose myself slowly and steadily 

Which plan to choose?

Easy or tough 

Which path to follow?

Smooth or rough

Life gives us two options

One is easy, tough the other one

Easy is the way towards stormy sea

Tough takes you to the calm locality 

Every person has two sides

One is shown, hidden the other one

A duality governed by the balance

of light and darkness, within us

is capable for both good and evil

Those holding the true power and will

blur the moral dividing line inch by inch

making identity stronger stitch by stitch

Which plan to choose?

Easy or tough 

Which path to follow?

Smooth or rough

I am the un in the unconventional

 I am the un in the unconventional 

and to your surprise I am actual 

and not a character, 3 dimensional 

I am too vocal about my beliefs 

I have a comeback for every tease

I am in awe of my pure realities

and not suffering from disease

Disease called falsity or hypocrisy 

and to be sure I am not a fantasy

I am the un in the unconventional 

and to your surprise I am actual 

and not a character, 3 dimensional 

On the stage of life and survival

Where life looks like a carnival

people are dancing in the foreground 

I am playing music in the background 

I am not sad remaining unrecognised 

Because I am used to, being deprived 

I am the un in the unconventional 

and to your surprise I am actual 

and not a character, 3 dimensional 

I don’t care about brownie points

All I want is to follow the waypoints

to the home of downrightness 

where responsibilities are not illness

where people should accept each other

as a person and not as a title or banner

I am the un in the unconventional 

and to your surprise I am actual 

and not a character, 3 dimensional 

Home is where one can lazing around

Where one is not always tied or bound

Where one can remove the masks

of diplomacy, mundanity, hypocrisy 

and just breathe in 

affection,compassion, cooperation 

Where people are not judgemental 

Where people are not grumbler 

Where there are no curtains of hesitancy 

Where people are candid absolutely 

I am the un in the unconventional 

and to your surprise I am actual 

and not a character, 3 dimensional
