Some call me ” a fool”

some say “you are lousy”

to some I am not upto mark

I am often dismissed on grounds flimsy

for I load my mind

with humbleness and modest stuff

act as per promptings of the above

If stealing a few moments from busy life enjoying composure and ‘me time’

is ‘foolish’

and my need based life is ‘not wise living’

then I don’t mind prancing around

in a fool’s paradise

To some-

I lack sense of judgement and prudence

for,I cannot toss my net into the sea

utter lie indiscriminately in my defence

to a few others

I am childish,adept in acts of buffoonery

to me-

It doesn’t matter anymore

as I have found my contentment zone

and the appropriate shore.
