Authentic Living

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.
