The Best Poem Of Harjeev Sabherwal

Solitude

I hear myself shouting
Where am I? What am I doing here?
Yet my voice does not reach those around me

Locked in a cell, the walls are closing in on me
I cry out for help, the desperation to reach out to someone
I shout my lungs out
To be only greeted by the stares of those around me

Only if I could get them to listen to me
I go out of my way
Love is all I am asking for
Sympathy is all I get.

I wonder, but why can’t I get across to them
Only to notice the mask around them
Shielding them from all emotions
I think to myself I need one of those
To be accepted by them

Loneliness is wrapping a cocoon around me
I am trying desperately to break out of it
Only to realise the harder I try and faster the web spins around me
I pray to the creator to help me out,
I try hard to listen to his voice inside me
And then it dawns the voice long stopped responding to me

I scream and struggle till the nightmare ends
Only to wake up and see all those masked people around me.
