An Anomaly
Celebrating our uniqueness
Amidst the buzzing crowd
I often feel alone
Loud, engaging bashes fail to amuse me
Tranquil gathering of few friends
is a sumptuous treat for my soul
I opt for sweet melodious notes
over rock and party numbers
I savor plain curd and a bowl of rice
more than hot and tangy sauces
I know I am an anomaly
in today's fast-paced world
My scattered wavy hair
add to my obscure look
when malls and pubs are thronged
by pressed silken hair
Short, body-hugging attire
is the analogue for trending fashion
While long, flowy gowns
make me feel more feminine
Sharp, pointed heels
give way to soft, comfortable shoes
I know I am an anomaly
in today’s fast-paced world
When people vie for quick fixes
I obsess over the details
Among my bucket list of tasks
I pick up the hardest one first
Flattery evades my dictionary
Transparency is my vibe
Feelings are all that matter
Facts are often ignored
I know I am an anomaly
in today’s fast-paced world
I am a newbie swimmer
in the vast medium waters
Looking for pearls of wisdom
To add to my life’s amulet
To help me endure
the darkest of the tempest
May the daily dose of wisdom
help to rid me of my flaws
This cherished sanctuary of positivity
is the new confidant of this anomaly!
