I'M No One

I’m No One
Tasmina Khan
May 8, 2021

Caring too much has made my entire existence not existent to anyone, anymore.
I’m staying unnoticed by people who I care about every second, from my heart’s core. 
‘Too much of anything is not good', I’ve finally learned that pricey lesson,
With a price of my life’s all happiness, all comfort, all dreams, and sacrifice.

It shouldn’t be continued this way, there should be an end of this one-way road, 
Nothing should be granted like this, no one should follow this kind of path 
Why did I? Well, I was imprudent. I do not want you; my readers do the same,
It will simply make your life dull, meaningless, and insane; you’ll soon forget crying,
your friend will be the mocking laughter in the washroom mirror, the annoying songs of the kettle, and the useless lonely screams in pain while in the bubbly water of the shower.

You think, ‘it’s okay, let’s live for him today, I will do mines tomorrow’,
You know what, that tomorrow never comes, and you keep diving in sorrow.
The man goes on and on, ignoring all your desires, dreams, hopes, and smiles,
He thinks this is okay, as if you are a machine, you feel fine with all of his whims!
Let’s put a period right now, it’s better late than never; Girl, live your own life,
Wake up girl, it’s your day, let’s start living your own life, from now on, the first time.
