I am all entangled...
I have fallen on clusters of thorns...
All stuck... it bleeds everywhere
A vine of thorns wraps around my head...
And it gets more painful as I try to remove it...
Oh!...someone has come...she is trying to help me out...
But it's tough...I am crying...
I remember last...sitting on the Poetry swing...
When Words and Feelings pushed me higher from behind...
Higher! and higher...that even the blue sky could hear my verses
I was so happy...and even the pianos played...
But then someone came
I was scared....they pushed me from the swing
My knees were bleeding and my hand was bruised...
The blue sky had black clouds...it was all dark
They had already killed Words and Feelings...
And were on their way...to crumble me!
When...I felt someone picked me...
They raised me higher...and threw me in the air
And I landed in this cluster of thorns...in the dark
Where...I am all entangled...

They heard my poetry...
And asked,"Did someone break your heart?"
And I...who did not even have a crush!
smiled and answered," Poets are born with pain in their heart
and millions of universe in their mind."

I remember the music was loud enough
that she could not hear even a single thing.


But...sorry to say...the voices were louder.

Where were we lost...running in a race!?
Noone had the time to stop...to cherish...to enjoy
And then 2020 created history...the worst of all
A year that felt like...it would never end!
Or would it be possible for us...to make it till the end?

But as they say," A strong person is the one who finds
the seed of love...even in the heart of devil."
2020 was the devil with that tiny seed of love...
The love that grew as we were locked in our houses
Some were alone....and some with loved ones.

Some missed their loved ones
And some missed that fresh air...
where they were free...unstoppable...creating memories
And that was the time we all
learnt the importance of each and everything.

So...now when we move out wearing those masks
Stop for a second to feel that fresh free air
Stop for a Hi! to your neighnour
Stop by the river to see the water flow
Stop by your mom to kiss her a goodbye!
for the unstoppable you...coming this year.
