War of the Pronouns: She, I
She is undried ink, waiting to be smudged to perfection…
I am etched, embossed, you can only touch the writing.
She is the alphabet, thrown open to the world to articulate
I am greek to you, despite lessons in a foreign language
She is the screenplay producers are fighting over.
I am a miserable flop, even critics couldn’t spot the brilliance in me…
She can smile at you and make you feel warm and tingly all over…
I am the reason for your discomfort, your goosebumps, your loss of coherence.
She is the perfect brew, just right – facilitating conversations…
I am reheated tea, bitter and unpleasant – a necessity in this cold cold winter.
She is the dainty manicurist, the hairstylist, a finishing school crash course
I am a struggling writer who’s out of words, a peripatetic artist who cannot paint
She is a dreamy wispy slender enchantress…
I am reality, you cannot help but be possessed.
She is beautiful long tresses, silky smooth, anti-frizz serum!
I am an unruly mess, my hair refuses to be my vanity!
She is the soft smoke he exhales, I stare
I am the warmth he inhales, she stares
She is a petite chocolate truffle cake, suits everyone’s palette
I am a tall glass of molten chocolate with piquant spices, All of it?
She is the beholder of beauty staring at the mirror that helps me kajal my eyes…
I am beauty.

She. Always always she.
‘She’ is the person who doesnt mind being with a ‘he’. The ‘I’ always wants to be with a ‘you’ and thats customized crap. Especially for standardized nice guys like me.

She is special but to everyone? ‘I’ am/is nothing less than extraordinary. ‘He’ is nowhere in the vicinity of this blog. The ‘You’ is all about ’she’ and ‘I’ and much much more…
Make of it what you want to. Mirrored people as well as standardized nice guys are created by them to make all of ‘us’ feel better… :)

Raperist, seems like you’ve inherited your father’s charm.
Ask the old butt to quit arsing you by dusk.
