Do I know You?

Yesterday, at night , I went to wash my face before bed. I look at myself in the mirror, and I couldn't believe it.
I look at a stranger.
I faced the reality.The harsh truth, that I forgot myself.
I didn't knew,
didn't knew this face attached to my neck.
I didn't knew this soul inside me.
I didn't knew this body resting on a skeleton.

"Am I familiar with this face?"

"Have we met before?"

I don't even what I am . Totally lost it.

We're stranded strangers on a common floor, under a common sky.
We're so close yet so unknown.
we don't even know each other anymore.

I see the people I meet everyday, fading before a grey smoke. The lies. The pull.The wrongs they say, they've done. Or maybe I say, I've done.

"What are you?"

Maybe, we all are just faces.
Faces,I laugh with.
Faces, I just see everyday.

Have you ever said "Nice to meet you!" because you actually did? Or is it just because you said hi and bye.

I wait for the day I'll say "Nice to meet me!"
And there I'll have my Eureka! moment.
Eureka! or I have found it! I found myself from this picture of a blurry world.
I found myself within this library of billions.
I found myself in this stranded unknown desert, with a million other faces.
sorry, unknown faces.

The world is a blurry photograph of lies, wrongs, jealousy, ego, smoke and negatives.
Here in this picture, everybody strives like zombies to gather all the lost pieces of their puzzles.
One by one.

Ask yourself today, "Do I know you?"
