The person in the mirror....

-


Muffled screams amidst
deafening silence,
The world around spins
zooms in and out of the fog dense.
Struggling eyes looking,
searching for some hope.
The noose only tightens,
weapon being a silken rope.
Who do I call out to,
do you hear me friend?
Gasping for my last few breaths
as the rope nears my end.
I want to turn around,
to face the killer, I think
who could it be, remember,
behind stands the mirror!

    If I understand it correctly, then the rope which is tightening is held by none other than we ourselves here and we are getting choked by our own troubles and problems. Its us, ourselves, with whom we want freedom from. :)

    Quite a classic. Even I will be posting something on a classic note soon...You used the word 'amidst' in the first line and I used it in 3rd last I think.

    Beautiful, like the new look of your blog...:)

      At the risk of sounding defensive, I think you haven't got the meaning of the poem completely correctly! Nonetheless, i accept your opinion1

"Say you love me"

They slept close.Slowly, his hand slid inside her clothes.She didn't react, pretended to sleep.He touched her and it made her face him.She opened her mouth to ask but his lips stopped her.Withdrawing, he asked her, "say you love me", she could just nod.She does not remember what happened next except the excruciating pain enough to bring tears in her eyes. Next morning she asked him "I told you I love you then why did you hurt me bhaiya?" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This post is an attempt to highlight the fact that child abuse is not something that happens in others houses only.It could be happening right under our noses, making us ignorant.It is not something to be ashamed of and swept under the carpet in the name of society.With a little awareness from our side, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt to be a child. ----------------------------------------------------------

Little packets of hope...

Things are not going your way, Black is more evident in the gray, Not a smile on your face, Nothing gives you solace.. Everyone and everything appear distant, In favoring you, luck seems hesitant, You feel time is not on your side, and there is nothing you haven't tried. Just when you think it can't get worse, Something happens and life seems like a curse, You stop smiling and give it all up, Not half filled, its an empty cup. I am the same as you, Having felt this,in times old and new. But now when i look and ponder, It all makes perfect sense, i realize in wonder. The cup was always filled up to the half, I found no reason to not laugh, There are little joys around in every season, Always believe everything happens for a reason. Just when you think its difficult to cope, Look around, You will always find , Little packets of hope!

I don't wish for a fairy tale....

Neither the red roses, nor the candle light.. No popping of the bubbly on a moonlit night.. I don't live on the rainbow, the huge castle isn't mine, long tresses are Rupenzel's, without the genie i do just fine! Not the sea shore bonfire, limo is too huge for two.. Dont want a life queen size.. only love n comfort will do! All of it is impressive but am not looking for materiality.. I dont wish for a fairy tale.. just a beautiful reality..
