Mind games - Sameera Deswandikar

Mind games

Once again on a silent dark street,

I sat in the corner where no light could reach..

Helpless I looked at the sky above me

Whose darkness was also filled with a silent scream.

Just like me the clouds held back,

And waiting for someone to hold them close..

They were also heavy with pain,

Only we understood each other

Completely tired and drained..

Filled with thoughts of anxiety and pain,

I was waiting for one last chance

to breathe freely again..

I finally let out a loud scream

Just loud enough for the clouds to hear me...

Then came down pouring rain,

And lighting bursting with flames..

They silenced my scream

To let no one hear

What goes on in my head when no one is near..

Slowly I went back to bed

With the monsters smiling in my head..
