I Have Never Seen The New Year Poem by Mohd Arshad

I have never seen The New Year
Snatching my dreams, possessing my hopes
Applying brakes on my walking on my road
Tearing my tethering with my relatives
My acquaintances with people in society
Creating creaks between me and my beloved
Asking my friends to stop loving me
Holding back my earnings
Delaying my meals
Diverting the sunlight to the other side
Urging the clouds not to rain on my house
Extinguishing the moon and stars over my roof
Changing my skin
Separating me from myself
Damaging my identity
I am what I was
It has never been
As it was nowhere
