The Real You

Sumit Datta

The real you in you
Is what is not seen
In the image seen in the mirror

The real you in you
Is not what is felt about you
By your fellowmen and friends

The real you in you
Is not the phenomenal you
Ephemeral touch or smell and colours few

The real you in you
May come to your view
In sombre and silence,sometimes
If you look deep within you
