Another recent attempt : Hopefully a little flowy
Context: A very generic article I read that made me feel "ME Too!!" inducing yet another long, miserable mode of self-reflection. As a result I entirely missed the larger point it made. It was profound and beautiful as I later found out. Me too!?? So bloody what?
I read, write, listen and talk. I am
relating to me
always my experiences, my thoughts.
Why does it have to be me?
Do 'I' matter I ask
the grand scheme of things.
Is not there somebody else
the world revolves around?

Self-centered. No. I am
but self-obssessed?
If there be a difference.
Look, I go there again.
Look within? 'virtue' you say.
But I ever go inward-out?
Stuck in. I am
trapped. Hard to untangle
the I-web.
Weird watching the world. from within
and without
strength to fight free.
Move outward. Thoughtlessly like.
The path unclear
awaiting ME. I laugh

The only way I have of understanding anything around me is through me and my experiences.
what is fighting free and moving outward? I guess it is a little more profound thought that I have no idea about.
both the poems were nice though...i enjoyed reading it..
nothing profound. i don't want to be caught up in what i call the web of I. i want to truly see things.
from outside. To see what i otherwise can't because i am chained to myself
