The grey state of mind !

There is really two sides to you,
The one that people expect you to be,
And the other that you really are.
Sometimes expectations exceeds you,
Sometimes you exceed the expectations.
But life is all about the balance ,
The yin and the yan,
To attain it is an achievement.
One half of you giving the expected to fulfill others ,
and the other half of real you to fulfill self.
Niether can you be consumed with only you,
nor can you be doing only the expected to be entirely altruistic.
If it's the former you come across as insenstive and selfish,
If it's the latter you come across as someone to be taken for granted.
Its the two ends of a pendulum
So instead of black or white ,
attain the grey state of mind,
Where you are beyond beautiful,
One with humanity yet without losing your self!
