Personality

What makes a personality....

Is it the measure of our affordability or the quotient of congeniality?

Or the sum total of our habits and choices that we make?

Or the subjects or the positions that we never want to take?

Or the number of children that we decide to have??

Is it the drinks we choose to sip or the money that we save??

The hour that we wake up or the promises that we might break??

Are we not more than these norms that a society shares??

Can we not be the people that we wish to be, who cares??

Should I not be defined by the values that I strive to hold,

As long as they are not criminal or corrupt but only 'bold'?

Am I not to act by my perception of happiness and 'good'

In a world where saying 'me' and 'mine' is ill-mannered??!!

Who am 'I' here if I am not lost in this massive commotion;

Either I am judged to be an alien or an insane person!!

Under pressure, I might become that true replica of 'Chitti';

The robot with a chip to think and act like everyone in the city!!

Don't waste my teens in aligning me with these terms and regulations,

As my tweens might go into just untangling myself from these reservations,

Even before I realize what I am and get to understand myself and my interests,

The responsibility of being accepted weighs heavy on my inner happiness!!

Before that happens, I want a fair chance to be the real me;

Without being adjudged as a rebel on a mutiny,

I just wish to sing aloud 'I am what I think and believe,

I am that acceptable and approved Queen Bee of my hive'!!
