SOMETHING I LOOK AT-331
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Know not
why do I feel breathless
maybe I have not seen you long since
maybe love has made me
blind to reality
and I do not see things
in proper perceptive

When you get out of sight
I lose myself in negativity
Many things hover around my mind making me restless and
I do not find the means
to come out of these.
I cry in the wilderness with no one to see tears oozing out of my eyes

It hurts, pinches hard
Neither I can see it
nor show it to anyone else,
but silently relish it
the way a dog relishes its wound

That is destiny
I have to accept it with a smile on my lips and wait for one more birth to make my dreams a reality.
If at all there is any next time,
that will be mine, exclusively mine

No matter
tears are mine
I know how to swallow these
and walk on the lonely corridor of life and let others feel as if nothing has happened to me
