Dichotomy


It’s a sea of stars
I stare above blankly.
As is expected of me
I flow along calmly.
Am I here by design
Or by Destiny?
I watch myself do my thing
From outside my body.
Some part of me is mine.
I don’t like to share it.
I am a part of this world though
I have learnt to brave it.
I look for a familiar face
Or even a known voice.
To know that this is still me
Deep down inside.
