In a home that is not yours,
Against an enemy you cannot see,
For a cause that you do not understand
Nisha K Apr 2012
I stranger I know so well,
the distance between you and I reaches an end in two words,
your name and my name
Nisha K Mar 2012
I’m on my knees with my head in my hands,
My self defeat and guilt invites your company,
You come in with just a knock, not realizing that my door was unlocked,
But you don’t look for me once you come in,
No, you look and find a moment of condescendence,
Don’t pat my back or patronize me with your sorry smile,
Your sympathy puts me in a world you think you stand above and beyond,
You insult me while at the same time,
You fool yourself out of your own muddy abyss of **** and rage,
But if it makes one of us feel better,
If it makes one of us think we are better,
To think we are not crawling out of the same muddy abyss,
Then go ahead and stand behind me,
but just don’t pat my back,
You’re only pushing me deeper,
I’ll crawl out alone,
You can stay and keep fooling yourself,
You’re not going anywhere
At least I know I can always count on you to be there,
At the same place with the same sorry words and that same sorry smile of yours,
I always know I’ll have people like you
