Secretlywriting
From this world I secretly write,
I secretly write because I am afraid showing my poems to my mother,
I am scared she will not even bother.
I write about the sun,
the moon, the roses, the sunflowers, the Beatles,
And even about the smallest creatures
I write about the reader
Or a spoon feeder, thinking himself as a natural leader,
I write about the lovers, who are waiting for some colours, but still in the end suffers.
I write about the struggles, then doubles and multiples,
The known history and the victory that is still a mistery,
I write about the beauty of the rain,
And about the people in pain, who wanna be happy in vein,
I keep on writing and suddenly I stop,
Cause I can't find a full stop,
I am unable to find the ending and all my stories are pending,
I search and search and search but then I pause,
Yes you have to Before a round of applause,
So I just keep a comma on all my fears,
Wiping all my tears, instead of searching for the endings, I search for a new beginning,
So, I write again, this time much strong,
No more fear of expressing my thought,
I tell my mother where I really belong,
I write down to them who told me wrong,
Hobbies and passion come along,
And this time I write about me,
And all of my immortal poems,
I write and write and then someone knocks my door,
And I am declared to be no more,
But then my poems smile,
And promise me to be alive.
