How do I explain them?
I am tired of screaming with no voice.
Tired of these noise
surrounding me, inside me.
How do I explain them?
I remember only haunting moments,
I oversee the blissful moments.
How do I explain them?
I love them,
But I don't want to be with them.
How do I explain them?
This place haunts me, reminds me,
What I don't want to recall.
How do I explain them?
I don't want to them to hold my hands and help me walk,
I want to experience and learn to walk alone.
How do I explain them?
It's neither anger nor attitude,
It's weight of these words,
I feel over-burdened with...
How do I explain them?
I am lost in my own thoughts and
Not able to find the small blissful girl I was.
How do I explain them?
The small girl in me,
Who wants to make her parents proud,
Is now trapped to survive this thunder.
Tell me can I tell them?
Do they have time?
Will they make time for me,
in their chaotic life?
Will
they listen?
And not misunderstand...
