I Wish I Was Strong
Everybody says
I m strong.
but is it really so?
I still remember the day
when my grandma was taking her last breath
i saw everbody crying around me
i held my tears
just to wish that she will b fine
but someone said something
that left me morone.
she said u dont hv feelings
n u have a heart of stone!
Nobody knew
how much i cried silently
how much i loved her deeply
and countless sleepless nights
Everybody says one thing.
U r so strong,
coz u never cry!
And then came the time
when my brother had to go
far away from me
to make his carrier.
this was like a dream which was scarier.
i wanted to tell him
i cant let u go
coz i love u the most.
which u'll never know.
whenever i eat maggi,
i remeber those times
when he would force me into kitchen
in the middle of night
to make maggi n get something to eat
n company him with a movie
which was so sweet.
whenever i drive activa
i feel tears rolling down
and my heart pounding
to feel the empty seat behind
and silence all around.
what happened is question
asked by friends
and i answer the same.
it is coz of discomfort
caused by lens!
I feel so lonely
even in group of friends.
but i always try to keep a smile on my face
which has now become a trend.
coz nobody likes sad faces
everybody is busy in their own races.
i dont want sympathy
i dont wanna complain.
i just want someone to hold my hand
and look into my eyes whenever m sad
to smile and say
cheer up stupid
i know you are lying
dont show me ur fake smile
coz i know, from inside u r crying!
