Being Common or Unique?

I have claims to make to self
For, I know myself very well
But what I project is not actually me
Trying to fit in, is all I do
But being different is what I want to?

No, it's not just me
Look around, everyone
is trying to be sheep in the herd
Just as in the flocks does a bird

That's how we break our own goals
make fool of ourself
procrastinate and later regret

No, I am unique
How but only in my head
Then I give in! No
No, I just choose comfort
That turns me into a common being

Though wishing to be unique
we continue doing the same things. Sigh..

Mistaken houses

Nowadays   Houses are mistaken for home The interior design is proudly outsourced What else can explain a ready-to-move-in home, we pay for Expect the walls in each room customized For every family member While talking away rights Of children to doodle on them Or an elders tremor staining them Don’t you feel such houses are based more on market trends rather than The likes and needs of family members When the house is more of a status symbol Rather than your own cosy private space When they are indicators of progress Of material possession that ranks a family in social space When they are bigger than your needs When they are filled with furniture Just bought to utilize space and not to be used The house that was supposed to be Occupied and turned into a home These days come decked up with Art on its wall that rarely represents people living in there Rather is an attempt to either intimidate others or to fit in a social class And the little art sculptures on the shelf Sadly have no memo
