Is This The Only Way? Poem by Mary Amrutha

Is this the only way to
forget all your sorrows?

Is this the only way to
control your anger?

Is this the only way to
forget your past?

I don't think that the things
you do now are right,
I don't think that this is a
better hide out for you.

I may be not having
any rights on you
to tell this,
but I'll keep on telling this.
No matter you like it or not.

It doesn't make you bad,
I know that you are not bad
but it's of no use,
what you do now kills you,
I am telling you this
because you are like a brother to me

Don't tell that I am a kid
and I don't know a thing,
may be I am to you
but what I am telling
is the TRUTH...
