Split Personality

He thought he was unconventional yet ordinary.
They thought he was weird yet funny.
He thought people often misunderstood him.
They thought he always miscomprehended them.

He thought he was reticent.
They claimed he was eloquent.
He thought he was a loner.
They verified he was gregariously affable.

He thought he was following his heart.
They thought he had taken the beaten path.
He thought he was being tardy and lagging behind.
They thought he could have slowed down.

He thought he was guilelessly sincere.
They thought he had a carefree attitude.
He thought he would outrun them.
They never dreamt he would outdo them.

He thought he was happy.
They also thought he was happy.
He thought he didn't matter to anyone.
They also thought he didn't exist.
And he ceased to exist.

Au revoir

This is straight from the heart I think, and I am ready to bet on that. :)

I still feel, the Ankur that has ceased to exist was better...! ;-)

[Zubin] Had you bet on that you would have won also :)
[Anonymous] First of all, the protaganist in the prose is some 'He' and not 'Ankur' ie me and secondly, some things are irreversible..
