Believe Me... Poem by Shreej k.c

I hate it that
every day I promise to shed the last tear
and every single day I betray myself in despair.
I don't understand
if you are testing me or testing yourself
if I am testing you or testing myself.
I know you have been waiting since long
to see me gone
from where I could never return.
Believe me I am trying for the same, to set you free
free of the fickle thread, every turmoil, free of me.
I wish to see you asleep sound like a child
Believe me I donot crave to be your side
as long as I am a pin in your pride
a hurdle in your successful stride.
Believe me I am trying with
every ounce of effort to move on
to relieve your feet from this
insane thorn.
