Words & Wounds
They say hatred is no solution to heal an old wound.
They avoid looking into my eyes,
heads looking in another direction while begging for my forgiveness.
Denying the hurt their words brought upon me,
forgetting that even a ‘you’ can shake the strongest;
forgetting that we are supposed to be equal;
believing their wrongs would eventually fade.
mankind keeps on uttering words so beautifully wrong in this symphony of life
and I am left tending to wounds that have no shape, no reason, no essence
if that is only to satisfy the ego of the ones who fail to see the evilness in their words.
_ Admit _
you asked me
why i am
always alone.
i didn't respond.
Not because i didn't want to
But because even i didn't know why.
i just looked at you
and thought
'how nice it is to be yourself'
i then decided to give you
a genuine smile.
but then, you asked me
why i was crying.
you were confused.
i could read through
the twitching
of your eyes
and the way you
stared at me
that you were thinking
i was sick, strange, and cold.
i didn't reply,
and keep looking at you.
i wondered
'why i always feel empty
when someone tries to get
closer.'
i tried to tell you
about my pain
and my reality
but the words
never got past
my trembling lips.
you didn't see them shaking.
you didn't see me
shaking as i recalled
my rare moment of
false happiness.
you thought that
i was ignoring you,
that i was.... i
don't know...
maybe you thought
that i was
An absolute asshole
for keeping the
silence between us.
i wasn't ignoring you.
i was recalling
my loneliness.
all the time
i smiled
without feeling anything.
all the time
i laughed
but felt empty inside.
all the time
i joked around
tearing my inside
to hold back the truth.
I just..
i just didn't know what to tell
you.

Earth weeps.
She watched drearily as humans crawled out of her pores.
She wonders if the medicine she took had done its effect.
Will they learn?
Pollution, mass extinctions, wastes...
Will it end?
Discriminations, wars, cruelty...
Will it finally stop?
Sadly, she already knows the answer but still hopes that this time, things will go differently.
