About Me
I pretend I’m water,
I’m crystal clear.
I’m the satin gloss
of the ocean
the blue freshness.
I dream of overcoming
the tide.
The highest waves,
I believe in me.
I believe I’m water.
But I am
Only a figure
drowning in tides
of her own confidence.
I am a skinny, threadbare sort of person. You might’ve seen me somewhere as I hobble in and out of the streets in Delhi (now Hyderabad), books in one hand, a cloth bag in another. My clothes flapping about me as I walk, I think what I’m wearing is like sailcloth. Or a shroud. Flapping about me all the time.
Here, on the street, I’m not who I appear to be.
It’s just my clothes and my body that the world can see.
I am, the real Riya is, elsewhere, without them.
So what does the real Riya do?
She plunges deep down, and after long hours of drowning in the tides of her own confidence [or the lack of it], appears stronger [or weaker], and believes [or chooses to believe] she is free.
A typical Aquarian.
