Well, this poem poem has two authors…
It was originally posted by my friend pseudomonaz. The second half was added on by me…
You look tired,
Your hair is out of place,
There’s sadness in your eyes,
And dullness on your face.
Tell me,
Would you like you if you met you,
If that was the case?
You’ve isolated yourself,
There’s no one you could call,
No one would lend a hand,
If the next moment you fall.
Tell me,
Would you like you if you met you,
Just passing by the mall?
You’ve dreams,
Not a will to make them true.
You wish to fly,
But scared to try anything new.
Tell me,
Would you like you if you met you,
It that was something you were asked to do?
You’ve lost hope,
You don’t believe in god anymore,
Every turn in your life,
Those moments, the drive,
Now make you bore.
Tell me,
Would you like you if you met you,
Just ask your heart’s core?
You don’t love you,
You don’t believe.
You don’t trust you,
You don’t achieve.
Tell me,
Would you like you if you met you,
If this is the way you are going to live?
————————————————
Shattered are dreams;
Among cries and screams.
Deserted is your heart
As you see them depart
All which is left is disgust and fear
A lonely soul with no one near
The ugly, the pale
Burdened with the fail
A lonely boat
Without a sail.
Maybe you won’t like you,
When you met you
But still…
Do meet your heart
When it’s torn apart.
Hear her out
Let her shout
Embrace her with care
As it utters reasons of despair
And then…
When the heart is nothing but void
No one to fear; none to avoid
Feel the joy which is yet again your own
Relive a dream which left you alone
Because…
With a dream in eyes
And life on a rise
You will be amazed by you
If you meet you…
Let the randomness of the universe increase forever…

Randomness=entropy ? 😉
Well written… Especially the second part.

Yes! Randomness here means entropy!
As said in the last to last post; ‘Random’ is my nick name in the college (hence the name of the blog).
Now as in any ‘natural’ (spontaneous) process, the entropy of the system increases; the tagline urges the reader to be natural or spontaneous in his life. That is how I interpret the tagline.
And Thanks for the compliment 🙂

Hi Arindam,
Not sure whose line is this, yours or your partner’s. But what resonates with me is, “Would you like you if you met you.” Very powerful indeed.
What could you do, Arindam, to evolve a structure to be able to meet yourself and learn from that encounter?

The lines you refer to are written by Mona (and not me). It is truly the heart of the poem
According to me, we meet ourselves quite often (primarily via memory). And what we learn from ourselves is called experience or intuition. The point to be noted however is that we can’t change what had happened in the past (or in the future) just because of the ‘causality principle’ of physics.

You added a beautiful part and a ray of hope in the second part.I had read MOna’s poem earlier and so I could relate to the 2nd part immediately

I liked the lines:
Hear her out
Let her shout
Embrace her with care
As it utters reasons of despair
I think the key to change, to becoming someone we would like to meet is having compassion for ourselves the way would for anyone else who is struggling.

Very True Indeed!

I still can’t believe a physicist can write so well!

Start believing!
According to quantum mechanics, almost anything is possible 😉
