They talk about this and that
Things that I'm unaware of
They don't tell me
But I can feel
That despite our closeness
They're hundred miles away
They're unreachable
I cannot be like them
And I don't think I would
Because I knew it from the start
I'm not part of their world

I wanna close my eyes
And feel the darkness
With everything goes black
I know I'm free
No one can see me
No one can judge
As the darkness swallow me
I feel alone
Alone in a good way
Coz sometimes you don't need anybody
To feel that you're existing
Just close your eyes
And feel the darkness
Everything goes empty
And you're the only one there

I'll write a poem not because of your presence
But because of my absence when you're there
I'll write a poem not for your words
But for the silence I made
I'll write a poem not as confession
But as song of hidden thoughts
I'll write a poem not for your look
But for how I see your eyes
I'll write a poem that's not about you nor me
But I'll write a poem that's all about us
I'll write a poem not because I want to
But because my heart hates to forget you

Hidden within smile is grief
Hidden within hope is misfortune
Hidden within peace is war
Hidden within love is hate
Hidden within laugh is tears
Hidden within freedom is conviction
Hidden within heaven is hell
Hidden within hidden is truth

I'm not popular
I'm nobody in this world
While others are in the stage
I'm in the corner
Spending my time with myself
Yes, all by myself
Apart from them
Apart from what they call 'world'
I can't be with them
I can't be with the people
Why?
Because I found a world in the corner

I closed the door
Though I don't want this
Stain of blood
Tears mixed with it
I knelt
Still can't believe
My daughter crying
Had removed her teeth

One day, the teacher asked her students to explain this;
"Life will never give you a mouthful of rice but a rice field"
One of the students raised his hand
"It only means that life is never selfish to give us everything"
But the teacher replied,
"Any other answer?"
The child now wondered,
"Why Mam? Am I wrong? What's the meaning of the statement?"
The teacher then replied,
"It only means that life will never give you everything
That it will give you something you have to work on first"
Then the student felt contented
