Ugly Duckling & The Peer Pressure

....And then comes a time when you start doubting your communication skills..


no matter what you do, the wall of ice remains there, unmelted, cold against your heart and mind...

you want to break it and try to see what is on the other side but it seems a daunting task...

you start wondering if you are invicible...if the normal questions are not meant for you...

you cant outgrow your commanalities and be the one with special smile or twinkle in eyes or chiming voice..

you still remain the ugly duckling..waiting for the magical transformation..waiting to turn one day into a beautiful swan...

the winter passes by, your wings freeze, you see your mirror and the same old ugly duckling looks back at you... meanwhile you see other swans gliding by you...

you want to hang your head in shame for not being the perfect one that everyone wishes you are...

but you dont do it... you rather jutt out your chin some more and refuse to give in..

you bask in your imperfections...you want to take pride in saying that you are different..not weird like the world thinks you are..but then you say hell with the world..and then you sulk..

you wish world was not this cruel..you wish you were not so lame..

you cry in the night but with the dawn you still emerge with the vestiges of confidence..to take the world head on..

It laughs at your imperfections... you snigger at their perfection!!!!!!!!
