Describe Yourself

Describe Yourself

A big blank box was showing on the screen.

And these two words were enough to make me think very deeply. "DESCRIBE YOURSELF" was written in a simple font.

And that quick sentence made my mind run. "PRETENTIOUS," I wrote without much thinking. "NOT ENOUGH WORDS. WRITE WITHIN 5 TO 50 WORDS" came back the reply.


Now how could I describe what was on my mind?

For if I did it would take an eternity and millions of words.

How could I explain that there was nothing to be explained and a lot to be explained at the same time?

How could I explain that the person that I was wasn’t truly me?

How could I explain that I who always wanted to sit alone in the corner actually craved companionship?

How could I explain that I who wanted to hide actually wanted to stand under the spotlight?

How could I explain that I who always hesitated to dance quietly tapped my feet to the beat and set the dance floor on fire in my mind?

How could I explain that I whose face was always tired to smile was so alone that I started to smile at my own reflection?

How could I explain that I who didn't care about what I wore and came out in ugly clothes actually wanted to leave the fashion world trembling?


How could I explain that I who always stayed in my own room actually wanted to get out and not return till the moon was drowning in the bright light of the next day?

How could I describe the person I was inside the closed doors and pulled curtains?

Maybe a part of me would always want to explain, but the other part would always prevent me.

For what if the original me Doesn't please other people.
