By-Gyapti Jain
It's like a cage and I keep flapping my wings
They are broken of trying
I tear down myself apart every night
To see if there's a morning sunlight
I close my eyes and I hope to die
There's no one there just my sorrow inside
I share my place with loneliness
No one to hold and no one to crave
The world just puts me down
I try to get up but I'm paralysed
I look at you in my lost beliefs
I look at you in my tears and griefs
I look at you in my dead dreams
I look at you in my fierce grims
Can you show me how to live
Give me voice so I can scream
My soul is tired of hearing to me
Can you tell the world I can't breathe.
