Wrong

Original poetry

I’ve been punched on the face with guilt several times
I’ve been wronged with fingers, lips & those questioning eyes
I even believed what I was told coz I was weak, I won’t deny
But I’ve learnt with time to stand tall & true in low & high tides

It seems everyone’s life has turned pale coz of my dirty screen
As if I’m the only reason of the suffering, pain & the screams
As if it’s me who’s injecting anger with that pointy syringe
As if I’m the one grilling the skin with my charcoaly heat

I was once asked ‘howcome I haven’t learnt anything when I was about to die?’
And why I was still snapping even when my wires were twisted & dire
At that time I felt as if I was the witness of my own bloody trial
Today that picture has changed & I think, I’m able to breathe the inner silence

If people haven’t confronted you before, then everything has its first time
Try to take off those ego-lenses & look closely in the eco-iris, is my advice
Several answers you might find floating freely in that liquid shine
The rest you’d discover gradually when the self will see the very I

I am neither a RoboCop, who arrests nor a Terminator, who shreds
And I accept that I commit mistakes coz I too have a human shade
But I am constantly upgrading me with the only constant while I defrag
But if you still wanna point finger at me, then be my middle finger guest

Note: “you” in this poem doesn’t mean you – the reader

  4. Powerful, Headlong into your thoughts, It’s like riding a speeding freight train,. You can and do express all these inner thoughts, questions, doubts, while echoing the ones who react around you. Certainly you Naveen…I loved it from it’s roaring start to it’s fantastic finish!!
