I wish you'd all see the person
in me beneath my insecurities,
layers of locks into my heart.
Why'd you leave me before I speak?
am I not as normal as you?
what is normal if there are many?
Am I crazy or are you blind to see the
normal in me?
I wonder what's missing in me that
forced you to leave.
As you remain blind to the eons
of hope that remains in my heart for you.
As I redefine my normal for the next layer of lock
that encapsulates my heart.

It hurts when your friends and those you held close to your heart ignores you and turn their backs on you. You feel as if your opinions are not normal and you question your sanity.

Losing Rights

Why is this so true?
Someone throws food into the dustbin
And someone who is not eating!

Smile blooms on someone's face
Someone who is always a victim
And someone's neck is hanging!

Someone's a street load.
Who sleeps on the hard concrete
and someone's a luxury bed.

Some people are working hard
Some people aren't able to earn
And some people are unemployed!

Someone's dying inside
Someone's dreaming with a big heart
And some people are feeling so pride.

Someone who is unfairly blamed
Someone stands who's not well-known
And someone never can be respected.

Someone feels oneself a big boss,
who wants to get everything at a price
and insults needy people.

How long will it be?
Helpless is being tortured by the power!
Will this role be continued?

Criminals are acting to be decent
Innocents are losing to injustice
What civilization is this?

Will they be slaves,
because of their poverty?
Ah, they have lost their rights!

today's last sight

My eyelids close as I see you
tell me lies,laced in sugar that I fell
into for a blotch in time,
For the last time today.

..an abrupt awakening..

The familiar child I was
spanned across the gardens
of Eden with her stocky legs,
And laughed with all her
childish glory unwashed.
As she came and started a
countdown to go into
a deeply long sleep.
"..3,2,1"she said,
as I woke up with a start,
to find my heart beating.

Lonely child

The lonely child waits,
For her parents with a lolly
In her hand.
As she can't wait to play with papa
And bake cookies with mama.
She asks why they are asleep
to her uncle.
As he watches their bodies lower
Into the soil with tears that roll
Down his face, as he hugs her close,
to obliviate her future despair

[old habits]

The old habits set in
like the moss on stones,
clinging to my brain.
                                    Waiting to inhale my
                                     remaining soul that I
                                     grew last summer.
