Silence

Voicing the silence

SILENCE

Endless thoughts are running in my mind,

There is no happiness I find.

There is sadness everywhere,

There is silence of sadness and despair.

I roamed places in search of happiness,

I saw people lacked their basic need,

I realised there are also people who are filled with greed.

Those people lived simply, their smiles ceased.

There was misery everywhere,

There was silence of sadness and despair.

I looked at the couples,

They were happy at that moment and got separated at next,

I guessed they would be together forever,

But they say it was for the best.

There was silence among the two,

There was silence of sadness and despair.

Mistakes and apologies,

Regrets, guilt and pain,

How much more is left to suffer?

There is silence at the peak of mountain,

It resembles my peak of suffering,

There is silence in the depths of sea,

Which is like my depths of regret.

There is silence in the midst of forests,

There is silence after regret and guilt,

There is silence after unspoken truth,

There is silence after spoken lie,

There is silence after loss of a beloved one,

There is silence in me,

There is silence everywhere,

This is the silence of sadness and despair.

There is sadness in my eyes as i read this...This was relatable and truly speaking i felt throughout the entire poem. I have no words to praise this .It is priceless. Topic chosen speaks volumes of not only a persons emotional status but the vulnerabilities of the present society. Wallahi Najam , I just pray May Allah bless you with his bounties in this world and hereafter. I don't know if you will become a famous or successful writer (i hope you do isa) but i truly know you are a prolific FEEL writer.
