Are you an authentic being?
How to live an authentic life?
Can you ever be always authentic?
All these and many more questions
On authenticity have no answers
Or sometimes have many answers
Living faithfully on one’s own terms
Is termed as authentic living, as some argue
But where do these terms come from?
If these originated externally,
Are you still being authentic?
Can these terms ever originate internally alone,
Without any external influence?
One would never know
But should one know at all?
Living on one’s own terms is just as
Absurd as the living itself
So, give up the notion of authentic life
And embrace the absurdity of life.
