You Think You Are Strong
You think you are strong,
That you have control over yourself,
But then, events lay their violent hands on you,
And all your strengths get shattered into pieces
Like a glass hitting a rock
Your eyes betray you
Tears start rolling down your face
Your voice begins to tremble
Your heart lowers its music
Reasons, justifications, excuses you give
Weak, unworthy, and lonely you feel
Your heart screams, your lips narrate it to them
Nothing wrong have you done
Your discourse dose have weight
But they don’t care…
It all seems a drama to them,
Or just a natural penance!
They too, deep down, might feel bad
But they show it not,
Will expressing their love make them weak ?
Or listening to your heart will make them lose?
So, as usual, they wrap another layer of anger over love
Instead of saying “it’s okay”, they yell
And you feel like a bird, broken, lying in a cage
And if you dare to respond back
It will take the argument to yet another level
Nothing will be left
Nothing, without regrets and sorrows
Is this life too long to love or to live happily?
Do we have to make it hell to live it??
