Aurora Kim Poet Free verse

If You

If you don't know me
Just ask me 
 My lips which used to be sealed 
Will tell you all the stories 
Buried deep in my heart 
Only if you are me 
There was this weapon ,a shovel 
They brought to dig everything out 
I just want another heart to be brought 
But how do you think 
My  heart can bear the pain? 
It started to scream in silent 
So none of them could hear it 
I don't know who close my both ears 
Even I couldn't hear it  
Or did my hands did that? 


If you flip the pages of me 
You will find out 
I'm weird, I'm abnormal 
I don't open up to anyone 
Unless you read the whole book 
Because the trails of me hiding there 
In each and every chapter 
You will  reach  out the missing me 
The real me in there 
That's me .

If you ask me from which planet I 
Come from  
Of course, I'm not someone from here 
there is another world 
I built for myself which is waiting for 
My footsteps to be planted there 
Neither a castle nor an empire 
But a home for my fractured soul

If you can, hold my hand  
No hand willing to take mine's 
The hand that have been offered 
I'm too scared to grab them 
They will lead me to their path which is not mine 
Should I act like my eyes being tied? 
 I'm walking all alone till now 
Only my shadow behind me 
Sometimes I can't even find it 
Because there is no sun 
Wish that there is another shadow beside mine's 

If you want to follow me 
Don't let go off my hand forever 
Because I know that 
My body is going to covered up with   scars
It has been bleeding in my heart 
When it starts, I don't know either 

If you can fix me up 
Fix every part of me 
I tried to 
Nothing left 
Breathless heart 
Soulless body remain here 
The more shields I place around me 
The more stronger they crash them out 

If you can, wipe away the tears
That rolling down my cheeks  
Don't cry, they say 
Tired of crying behind the doors 
Swollen face red eyes 
No more tears 
Everything dried out 




If you can, wrap your arms around me 
I will hide well quietly 
They say all you need is you and yourslef 
But when I long for a hug 
I couldn't hug myself 
My arms are too short to wrap the whole me 
See, I still need you 
I can't go on by myself 

If you can, 
Be the mirror 
So I can remember me
