The Antagonist of my life
I sat near the window,
Admiring the raindrops' show,
I closed my eyes to feel their pitter-patter,
And a movie played,
The movie made me smile,
It reminded me of the past for a while,
But I saw something strange,
I witnessed the antagonist.
The person was familiar,
It was me in the mirror,
I realised I was my life's villain,
And, then I recollected the scenes in the picture.
Why was I the limitation?
Was it me who set the restriction?
The answer was yes;
But why was it so?
May be when I feared my capability,
May be when I denied an opportunity,
May be when I believed in wrong people,
May be when I made a serious mistake.
Or it could be the time I was afraid,
Or it could be the times when I was dismayed,
It could also be when I compared myself to others,
Or may be when I was the pessimist.
Whatever it was,
I now know that I am my own life's boss,
And only I am the one who can be both,
The villain and the hero.
