        Myself

At my younger age,
I needed everything ,
Everything was essential ,
Essential was everyone,
Those days were mysterious,
Everything went astray,
Astray was everyone,

When all I had -   stolen
When friends I made-  unfriended,
When loved ones-  judged,
When the mirror was -  i
When everything was me!

Everyone resentful,
Now all by myself,
Feeling confident,
For everything is endurable,
When all is said and done
When all is assessed and analysed,
When the would have been ,
Never could have been,
Invulnerably assured,
That at my younger age,
I never needed anyone,
The moment was naive!
For everything ,
Was myself ,
