Identity gives a meaning to life, <br />A sense of belonging in a society, <br />And helps one define oneself in oneself. <br />To lean this way is to go away from that. <br /> <br />Identity is a stake you cling to. <br />Identity is a mould you fix to. <br />Anything we think we are, becomes a trap, <br />A restriction to be something else. <br /> <br />You join a movement to share its force. <br />In the meanwhile, you lend it your force. <br />Subsequently you lose your independence <br />In judging and mortgage yourself to it. <br /> <br />Be in a set up not to be fanatic. <br />Being neither distantly isolated <br />Nor absolutely identified <br />With anything is freedom to enjoy. <br />20.09.2014<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/identity-is-a-trap/
