Sadness Poem by Anonymous Still

Sadness



My poetry resides in my stomach
Dissolving into the acids
Turning into bits and piece of repeated agony
And coming upto my throat as heartburn
Until I burp them out as sadness
Stinking with the same old words
The tears
The guilts
The regrets
Repeated again and again and again
Until they write themselves down as facts
The universal ones, of my universe
Carve themselves on the walls of my mind
As long lost manuscripts
With unknown languages but known meanings
I am a transparent window
With stained glasses
Which scream of the dirt and the broken twings
Pressed onto them like tattoos
Permanent ones
Telling the stories of forced survival as fight back
I break myself into pieces
The shards of glasses
A fine powder that I mix with water
And drink it as an elixir
In the hope that when I stand in sun
I gleam with rainbows than halos around the moon
I pick up the fallen petals of flowers
Put them in a garland
And decorate the door of my house
To tell the world
That poetries pressed and crushed by the feet of fame are still appreciable
My welcome is a common man's misery
As I serve people who visit me
With the anecdotes of my past and anger
Which boils their blood
Dries it out and convert into vermilion
And put it on their forehead as a mark of respect
You see I am a cactus
My leaves are rose petals
Who decided to embrace the thorns
More than the beauty
I bloom in night
And die with a single ray of sun
For I keep hope on my nails
I often bite them off
I carry my shield of words like an armadillo
I hide and seek myself through the eyes of people
Who see me with pity than love
Tie my worth to them
And send them away in the Ganges of the sorrows
Which flows through my entire body
Until all I become is a tap with drops of water in a drought stricken land
You see bad time is a good magician
Sometimes you become the road
Other times, the traveller
But every single time, punishment is the reward
- - I am all the paths untrodden
