"I Too Thought So.."

Written for OSI Prompt : Sarcastic



I Too Thought So...

“Are you trying to say,
That, you can think like me?”
His voice was sarcastic
Eyes glaring
All in response to
My innocent remark
-“I too thought so”-
On something that
He had expressed
After meeting
A few lesser beings..
No, I could never
Think like him
How could I
Ever shun humility
To embrace arrogance
How could I put on
A different mask each moment
So that none knows
The real me
I was so incapable of
Flaunting power
Because I didn’t have it
And I lacked the will
To exploit people around
My love for sports
Had kept me out of
Life’s calculating games
How could I really ever
Think like him
So, I looked back at him
And without any sarcasm
Made a matter-of-fact
Statement and said,
“No, I can’t think like YOU!”
His face relaxed
He felt comfortable
And happier too
For he thought
He understood me right
My feelings too were same
At that moment
I was also comfortable
And happy too
For I had once again
Learnt how well did I
Understand myself…



Now my passion: A Haiku with Moon...


Sarcastic Moon shouts,
“How dare you shine more than me!”
Humble star steps back..
