Why can't one be content with mediocrity?
All this hype about publicity
Everyone wants to be a celebrity.
Why can't one be content with the mundane?
All this running around for fame
Is sure to make you insane.
Why can't one be content with leisure?
Oh! What a humble pleasure
With life under such pressure.
Why can't one be content being oneself?
Conforming to norms that engulf,
Is it so bad being true to oneself?

You said it marvelously. How tough it is to be true to oneself!
ReplyDeleteKala I actually had a similar discussion with someone at work on this :) I can assure you I was on opposite side of what you have said :P
