Back and forth



I look at myself and wonder how I change
As my thoughts mutate in a wide range.


Sometimes I am so selfishly me, mine
Sometimes I forget the alphabet I and its sign.


There is turbulence and peace  
Alternating as an increase or decrease.


When it should be a Yes
No always indifferently messes.


When I think its wrong
Right surfaces and strikes the gong.


I forward with strength that world admires
I then step down fearing the burning pyres. 


Practicing and preaching moral values 
I ofttimes remain oblivious of my own views.


With others I am rude and arrogant 
But sometimes I be so softly pleasant.


I hate and disgrace a person at moments
But soon I find my love overflowing at events.


What I feel and think, I can't express
In solitude words combine as in press.


There are things I keep locked up as secrets
But then I myself open up all the closets. 


The child in me jumps up with ignorance
But then my intelligent adulthood maintains the stance. 

My goals change and vary with time
I just wish I attain the crucial, best and prime. 


I muse how I manage to sit on this swing
And get this genre of rhyme whenever I sing.


As my heart oscillates in this way so strange
I look at myself and wonder how I change.
