What is 'I'?
Isn't the question
I ask myself.
Cause I know,
I saw my reflection,
On the looking glass
Of the society.
I saw 'I' being reflected,
In their eyes,
Each interpreting 'I'
In the way they please.
Cause my image,
Appears in their mind.
All twisted,
According to whims,
Wishes, grudges and moods.
But what troubles me is,
What is 'ME'?
What does it mean,
To be 'ME'
To be what I am,
On the inside,
Cause no perception,
No bias,
No tantrum or taunt,
Can change what's 'ME'
Sometimes I lose the 'ME'
In the image of the 'I'
And that's the toughest.
When I need
To find myself in 'ME',
And break that looking glass
Which judges the 'I'.

Note: The looking-glass self is a social psychological concept introduced by Charles Horton Cooley in 1902 (McIntyre 2006). The concept of the looking-glass self describes the development of one's self and of one's identity through one's interpersonal interactions within the context of society.
