Stranger

He is a stranger
In his own home
Sometime back
It was not so

He is not in love
Or become a saint
He has not lived
But drifted in vain

He is different
More than himself
Not an also ran
But striving for fullness

He may be funny
Or downright silly
But he does different
Things little and ordinary

What is different
It makes a difference
To keep at bay
The habit of indifference

Become a stranger
Take things not for granted
Take a new road
Even if you have to lay it

It's the need of time
To show one's ability
Rarely comes in life
Such an opportunity

There is no going back
Future looks promising
Those who take the plunge
They shall be duly rewarded!
