I ARISE
All that glitters is not gold you have often heard that told, silver is for the modest but bronze for the sagacious? who made these notions may I know, was he a father, a wise old man or an adolescent singing and rhyming all we know: truth unravels they say but how do we know if it isn't the lie which is the truth, masked under the charade of misery and deception
Life is an eternal bliss...bliss is it? I question that too. I see pain, anger, sorrow, greed, and hatred in every heartfelt corner too, people bowing down to every misery, pleading for a drop of compassion, pleading to breathe to protect their chastity but what do we get- an arrow of death tearing right through the very bottom of our heart or some may say, soul.
It is my soul which pleads ..screams let me be, why do I have to go through all of this, what did I do to deserve this torment. Is it because I didn't love him back or didn't oblige to all his needs, do I deserve to be treated like a cattle bought and sold in a market as and when pleased. You cannot rate me, my love, my life isn't yours to keep, you are not my master and I am not your slave, but why is my effeminate heart still wishing you well, wants you happy. Is it love? I know it in my bones it isn't. Because if it was I would have been still stuck singing your song, holding your melody and dancing to your music, I sometimes feel that life is a ringmaster and it loves to play with me, A circus in which I am the protagonist, helpless and weak ruled by the order of some supreme entity. It expects me to jump into a deep hollow pit as if though I am a fish gliding through a narrow stream, I CLOSE MY EYES AND take the jump and now I am falling deeper and deeper into this darkness and all I feel is numb as if I am immune to feelings, pain, love, EMOTIONS. I realize things are blackening, I scream but my voice betrays me, are ppl deaf? have I lost my voice? will I be able to get out of this or will my life tell me -when there is nothing left to burn, set yourself on fire, bleed my love but remember to bleed
gracefully- people are watching.
I listen to it -I fix my hair, dampen, my swollen eyes from the tears of the night, put on a smile -of course, a fake one -and go about my day laughing, normal -just to come back home and cry under the shower so that my hauls are subdued under the trickling voice of the water. I must mention the water has been my constant friend always covering for me, never letting anyone know what is it that is in me.
But at the end of the day, I am my mother's daughter, a fighter she calls me with her voice in my heart and her love in my soul, I will move on with all my might, I shall be victorious and blaze like the rising sun, I may feel weak now but I will be stronger tomorrow for I just breathe for her and her just for me, If she sees me like this she will not be proud -I remember her
telling me when I was 2 and I was mocked because I did something anew, she sat next to me and said, there are demons in the nights, go wipe your teary eyes because my princes won't cry, pick up that sword cause you have to fight with all our might.
we outgrew our childhood who knew the world was nothing but a bed of belying, but every cloud has a silver lining and no matter how dark or bitter the night was -THE SUN WILL RISE.
