I, Me and Myself.. A Poem by Sharmila Mehendale

I, Me and Myself

 

As a long tiring day flashes by in a jiffy,

Retreating, I seek solace armed with my coffee.

Attempts to quieten a throbbing head and a racing pulse,

Ruminating on the experiences that shape my impulse.

Erasing the turmoil, dissipating the stress,

Learning to let go and find happiness amid duress.

Facing my fears, I analyze closely held secrets in depth,

Laughing silently at my awkwardness, sometimes being inept!

Knowing too well that some situations are beyond my control,

Mocking my tough exterior, have I let them drill a hole?

Sipping on my coffee I start a meaningful conversation with myself,

Locking out the whole world, there’s just I, Me and Myself!
