I chose to follow a different path,

I preferred not to participate in rat race,

I decided to make it on my own………and I was called Mad.

I learnt to listen to my heart, beyond reason,

I allowed myself to feel vulnerable and sensitive,

I let myself be what was emerging in me……and I was called Mad.

I did not listen to what they said,

Instead went in search of my own voice,

I refused to fall into the patterns set before me,

Instead break free from my owns bandages….and I was called Mad.

I put my ego aside, learnt to care for others,

I tried to put the good of all before good of me,

I learnt to raise my voice when I disagreed,

I learnt to agree against my reasons…..and I was called Mad.

Everytime I have tried to be more of me…..I was called Mad.

Everytime I have tried to be more Human …I was called Mad.

……in the hindsight….I am happy…..that I was called Mad.
