A Look At-247 Poem by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

A LOOK-247

Whatever we do and undo,
we remain under the illusion
that we are right,
and quietly tend to justify ourselves.

Pause for a moment—
look at yourself as an outsider,
or ask your conscience in silence;
you will know where you stand,
unadorned, unargued, true.

And in that still mirror,
the illusion gently fades,
leaving you face to face
with your own truth.
