Alas Poem by Vidushi Khera

Looking at my life reality’s hardly there
Seems like fiction to me
It’s almost unbelievable
That I’m unable to read it and see
Why reality is overshadowed
By blurry thoughts of the mind
Why the heart just feels so wrong
And I can’t distinguish what is right
My mind is crowded and overloaded
And I don’t know how I feel
I just cannot think straight
I’ve lost myself or did I just steal me
It seems the time I knew myself
Is just lost and blown away
I don’t know where’s my heart right now
And my mind has gone astray

I can’t recall what feelings are, coz I lost them
Coz they didn’t matter to the world
But the world did matter to me
So I left myself for the world and now I am alone
Or maybe the world did care
But they never told me so
But whatever the reason maybe
They still did leave me alone
Coz they did see me
But never once asked me who I was
They were just oblivious to the real me
And I followed their path. Alas!
