Droplets of water carrying lots of emotions.
Oozing out in sorrows ,  happiness or in depression .

When you are born the foremost thing you do is cry.
Making the world realize you can conquer it and fly.

You have shed them not just for dejection but also for satisfaction.

The first cry you remember was when you fell off a stool.
Or when you failed a subject in school
These were not just the whimpers but the boohoos of your childhood too.

They were also there on your face when you were in elation.
Be it for your first job or on your graduation.

When a loved one left your side.
The only thing you did was cried.
Wetting the pillow and the sheet
Thinking of him whole night about why did he cheat!  

This world full of patriarchal society feels women use it as their weapon.
Little do they know they shed them to express their emotions.

So let them flow coz sometimes they just make you lighter
Giving you all the strength to be a brave fighter!

feelings of drowning
with thoughts and images
pounding in my head
the steady stream
of words
“it’s okay”
“I’m fine”
“don’t worry”
no one knows
the urge to be dead
the better off
without me speech
can’t wrap it around their minds
you’re out of yours
and they’re wasting time
soon you’ll be gone
and once you go
there’s no coming back
no more
boohoos

— The End —
