Deepti Agarwal - Myself

Today is the need to look
deep within This living book
that I call Myself.

Let me dust off the corner
& lift it down from Life's high shelf;
Dig deep into forgoten chapters
which long ago ceased.

Let me bring them to light
the secrets never exposed;
Let me study it for lesson
That should be recorded there.

Test them for its value -
were they Honest? Fair?

Let me search the answer
why this book is on high shelf -
I hope to find the reason
For this book I call Myself.
