Rajesh Thankappan - Contentment

I would not wish
To exchange my state
With anyone on this earth.

For it is me
Who I am best acquainted with
For better or for worse.

It is not narcissism
Or senseless vanity
Or a cosy state of affair.

But it is an inner voice
That holds me back
To my very own lair.

So let me hold on
To my regular post
And not be transferred or retrenched.

Let the sky fall
Or the heavens beckon or call
But I still wish to remain to me entrenched!
