Am I Among You?

People here, people there

Like they’re nowhere

Am I too, the part of this world?

I see myself, nowhere

Fake smiles, distressed heart

Cuddling people everywhere

Am I too, the part of it?

I see my ecstasy, nowhere

Challenging life, torn secrets

Imputing games everywhere

Am I too, the same genre?

I see my cynicism, nowhere

Turning backs, seductive traps

Exalting reality, nowhere

Am I too, the same sculpture?

I see my sincerity, nowhere

Insatiable relations, bogus concern

Malice perfections everywhere

Do I need to be part of this?

I see my conjurers, everywhere

Tragic episodes, tensed pulses

Accepting fates everywhere

Am I too, the same beetle?

I see my convictions, nowhere

Nurturing farce, transient dawns

Weary swings everywhere

Am I too, a part of pretence?

I see my resolves, nowhere  

People here, people there

I feel my soul is else somewhere

Am I too, a tear-some fibre?

I see my eyes disquiet, nowhere

People here, like— nowhere

I steer my exasperation everywhere

Am I too, a nuance together?

For, I see my altruism, nowhere….
