Revati Ramesan Oct 2016
It was an everyday ritual
At 7, 12 & 9
Monotony is my life
It's OK, I'm fine.

It was another day
With a lot of strange faces.
I saw new people every day,
With such slow paces.

But today was no regular day
As something bad was about to take place .
A rogue tile, almost misshapen,
And whatever followed, didn't involve a lot of grace.

I tripped, it fell.
And all the rice was in the air.
And at that moment, all the eyes were on me,
And I fell into complete despair

It was a dream of mine
To live within the clouds
To jump around in the fluff
And to wrap myself with it at night.

The view always seemed divine
From the voluptuous mounds
But it was all a big bluff
I ended it all with a fight

I take these pills to make me thin
I dye my hair
and cut my skin
I try everything
to make them see me
But all they see is someone that's not me

Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible
Every day I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible

Here inside, my quiet hell
You cannot hear, my cries for help
I try everything, to make them see me
But everyone sees what I can't be

Here I sit, a brown haired girl,
With brown colored skin that spreads down to everywhere.

I feel lonely, most of the time,
That’s because I have a rock hard shell, now is that a crime?

I was lonely at home, and lonely at school,
I had no hand to hold, and I felt like a fool.

I was an idiot, for blindly following others,
But with you, it was a blessing, just one after another.

You took my hand and pulled me out of my shell
To be honest, in there, it was hell.

I thank my lucky stars every night.
We'll be together forever, even if we fight.
