🌷 We can steer ship...
Poetess: Tilottama Vijay Lele

We all think we're just perfect
In fact we're so sure that we R flawless

If something really good happens,
We're ready to take it’s full credit…

But when something goes wrong,
We blame others for this happening

Deep within we do know better,
But we're always in a denial mode...

We blame other people for everything
While we know that's not d true thing

We create tragedies without realising it. 
We mess up our lives n others, bit by bit

While being completely blind to d fact 
That we’re d source of d chaotic damage 

Often it’s truly tragic to see,
How blatantly a man bungles his own life

Then he spoils lives of others
Yet remains totally incapable to see it

Consciously he's engaged in bewailing 
N cursing d world of senseless Beings

That recedes further into d distances 
An unconscious factor spins d illusions

Biggest illusion is that veil is d world
What's being spun is a Cocoon of a Bird 

Cocoon is d thing that fully envelopes him
N ends d life of a Human Being...

We’ve blind spots like shadows,
That we totally refuse to face somehow 

It’s tragic, but it’s also human. 
We’re d ones, tying d knots of our own

But all d time we think 
Someone else is holding n controlling 

We’re wired to ignore our own mirror 
Until it’s too late to rectify d error

People ruin their health n their jobs 
N yet they can’t connect d dots...

As if they’re blind to their own role 
In this chaos they create a hole...

It all comes down to unconscious denial
We all have it, in one way or another

It’s easier to blame than look inwards 
When things go wrong we point fingers

Most people blame fate, bad luck, others
Or external forces for their misfortunes

But never accept their own mistakes. 
A part of life is due to external forces

But we've more control than we think.
Unconsciously we do pull d strings…

Denial of anything is just fear in disguise. 
To accept our mistakes is being wise...

Self-reflection is an unsolicited therapy
A mirror is used to give us a better clarity

Regardless of from where we came, 
We can steer ship wherever we want it
