i had to go back

this is a poem... to inspire to fight back for your own rights and thoughts

I wandered lonely at night

Heart filled with tears and despair

Wind blew smoothing, but I cared less to look back

Tears rolled in silence, no sounds, nothing

I stepped on, with pain, mocking and ashes

I knew I had nothing left in the world out there

Just pieces of me, scattered and stamped over

Just because am not like them is it fair to be ignored?

To be laughed, to be rebuked

I felt like slapping people with words, rebel their taunts

But oh god! I was afraid, timid and helpless to fight back

I cried, I yelled from inside but no one heard

Who will? When the selfish people don’t give a damn

For they find me as handicapped, made for nothing

 

Walking through these green canopies in night’s silence

I feel calm, relaxed where my thoughts are not laughed at

I am understood by the wind, the swaying leaves

I can feel the covert, the secured embrace

The crickets’ noise, the rustling leaves, against the unfair

Why can’t I just live here, with sympathy and care?

Why can’t I just stay here secured and weighed?

Running away was so easy but I quit, that’s bowing

So I turned, forwarding to the ruthless world

If I am alone let it be, I have my words to fight back

The things that are ought to be heard, noticed and valued.

Being 'other' is always so tough. We humans crave acceptance, community. Well written, but I get hints that english is your second language? The use of 'rebel' in the next to last line is a little off. I think fight would be a better word there, or you could take the word 'back' out and leave rebel by itself.. that would work as well.

yes you are right... thank you... :)

"I cried, I yelled from inside but no one heard" - brilliantly written. A poem for the 'silent minority' as we might see it Prachi. Ang.

An enchanting write dear...I was enamoured with each line...could feel the deep ambivalence you
have conveyed in the first verse...Rose
