Once Again

Sometimes a leaf falls silently

and another person dies

Sometimes it makes noise

sometimes we let it slip us by

Different feelings all rummage through

helplessness overthrows my senses

Vision blurs and tears drown me

Death comes knocking once again

No help for the needy, not today

pain just fills every cell

Crying out I scream for help

Surround me with a loving embrace

Leaving behind the dead becomes easy

Life twists and turns just the same

Destiny has steered me further 

Need a map to find humanity

Okay, that is not something I usually do: I do not like to share my poems, because they are not that good and also they might make some people worried about my mental health. Though I'm all cheerful and glee all the time, there was a time in my life when all I saw was the colour black. And from that dark period of my life I picked up the habit to write these morbid poems about pain and misfortune. Anyway, ignore the death theme. I'm just heart-scalded about the fact that a friend lost a family member and it seriously pains me to witness her heart ache. 

Another thing about this little poem: I just made it up on the spot. You might have noticed that I've been trying out new things lately. Well, this is another thing I thought I should do, so that I would be forced out of my shell. The poem is obviously quite free-rhymed, the way I like them. It makes the rhythm more important and a person who can read a poem like that with the proper rhythm is amazing and far more awesome in my eyes that those who concentrate only on rhymed poems.

So, take this as a gift and feel free to comment. Just remember that I'm not that dark and you really should have learned by now not to take everything I write down in this blog literally. I'm full of mischief and embellishments.
