Poem : To a Hypocrite

~Kreeti Bhandari ~

Hey girl! Wake up from your dreams
And see this world through your open eyes
I can be your friend when you’re in need
But I cannot be your guiding light
You try to find your inner self
But then ignore the voices inside you
And then relinquish your desire to be like me
All your attempts will just make me sympathize
For your incessant but futile hypocrisy
Instead of trying to plagiarize
You just try to analyze
The difference that exists between you and me
The things to which I give a look
Are the things you give a look at too
But those are the things you truly cannot see
So just try to be yourself
You’re too among the precious creation of God
But the more you try to be like me or somebody else
You’ll feel you’re being complete
But…You’re completely not
