I Am Not Alone Poem by Debdip Maitra

The soul lives there in the silent breath,

And the heart wanders in search of its wealth.

Weary I cry, but still totter on,

My feet may bleed, but the mind races on.



Shattered dreams, blood stained on the floor,

Broken pieces, in frustration I roar.

Seeking escape, I pound on the walls,

My heart’s cry, on deaf ears it falls.



Disjoint images, flash through my mind,

Back through time, my memory rewinds.

Again I stand, beneath that willow,

The incessant tears, again I swallow.



Hurt and alone, as I sat there crying,

You were the only one who came prying.

You extended your hand, and flashed a smile,

All my worries, seemed to vanish for a while.



With you standing by me, I accepted my difference,

You showed me the beauty, among the forests dense.

That darkness paves the way, for the stars to shine,

And laugh the world may, my identity was mine.



Now as I’m entombed, once more by my fright,

And situation’s chains wrap around me so tight.

Your face burns bright, the bonds of our friendship,

Lends me yet again, the strength to face the hardships.



And as I run once more, drenching myself in the rain,

The cold drops on my skin, wash away the pain.

And I sense you beside me, hiding in the trees,

I now feel secure, my heart finally knows peace……..
