The Pretend Game

You’re me, but I’m not yet You.

not said a word,

wont say any…

with You the silence talks,

like it does with my fenny.

You know it all…

but You still do not judge me.

maybe ‘cause You know it all,

and You still found love for me.

how is it You have such power to forgive

and channelize all into positive energy..?

maybe that’s the reason You’re always right,

and can stay so calm and free..!

it’s simply true insight I yearn for,

and the deeper I try to seek…

how come You’re like the rapid fish,

the deeper You seemed to have already reached!

but if You’re my deep inside…

why is it You’re so tough to be?

help me end this pretend game

so I can be You, that’s me

so I can be just me.

- Srushti Gandhi

The Pretend Game (By me)

You seek my help to end this pretend game,

Simple it is for you to be one with your name,

Simple it is for you to be me ,

As simple it is for me to be you.

All you need to do is be free,

All you need to do is to see.

By seeing I don’t mean to watch ,

By seeing I don’t mean you analyze,

By seeing I don’t mean you dramatize,

Simply see the way it is.

Be like the bird, who just “views” the world,

True insight you say you yearn for internally,

But what is the “true insight” is what no one knows,

We discard everything that is presented to us ,

We perceive everything that only suits us.

Truth is so subjective to this world,

What is true for me is not for you,

What is true for you is not for me,

So what is the “true insight” you yearn ?

Love they say is eternal,

Love they say is the ultimate “truth”,

Love they say forgives all the time,

Love they say rushes positivity,

Love they say helps remain sane,

Love they say holds our soul’s rein.

If that is the truth we all need to reach,

Then why is it always the “truth” that is preached ?

Simple it is to reach the “truth”,

All you need to do is see.

See without weaving a story ,

See without complicating with another experience,

See without mixing your thoughts,

See without combining your wants and needs.

So simple it is to end the pretend game,

Simple it is to be the one with your name,

Simple it is to just be,

Simply love, feel and see.
