LOOKING

Once I had my nose
Pressing against the window
Looking inside

Now

I am inside looking out!
When outside
I wished to be inside

Now, inside
I wish to be outside
Be one with the crowd!

It has dawned that
No matter- inside, outside
I have to be in tune

With my own self
Then inside or outside
Will not matter

Barriers will  vanish
Fuse into a
Unified whole.

A human being’s first responsibility is to shake hands with himself
- Henry Winkler

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
- Mohandas K. ‘Mahatma’ Gandhi
