This poem delves into the complexities of self-identity and the challenges of expressing one’s true self to the world.

With words and thoughts that often feel inadequate, my thought grapples with the misunderstanding and labels imposed by others.
I was surprised to be categorized as a theist or an atheist, feeling lost in translation, and unable to convey my inner feelings.

The poem explores the power of silence, the potential of poetry, and the earnest quest of a philosopher’s mind to uncover their true identification.

My True Essence

Words falter, thoughts fade,

Seeking my path, a trail unmade.

Whispers unknown, misunderstood,

Labeled, judged, in a world so crude.

A theist, an atheist, they decide,

Lost in translation, feelings they hide.

Yet, amidst their clamor, my voice is sown,

Embracing my essence, previously unknown.

No words for prayer, humility blooms,

In nothingness, my spirit resumes.

Flaws and strengths, both adorn,

Journey within, where I am reborn.

Through poetry’s brush, emotions set free,

Heart’s silent song, many a pearl in me.

Philosopher’s journey, earnest and true,

My real self, in solitude, I pursue.

Look past the surface, an invitation so clear,

In a land of questions, I conquer the fear.

A seeker, a dreamer, a soul taking flight,

Unveiling my core, in the depths of night.

(Vijay Verma)
