11th August 2002
Slowly awaken,
Fast asleep
An apprentice at feelings
A virgin at love.
Lively but lonely
Friendly yet fragile!
My heart pounds to music,
Yet stays calm and wild!
They tagged it "Sentimental"
He called it "Most bright"
God marked it "A wild flower,
Fallen from the sky!"
To the reddish mountains,
And the muddy drops,
My life - disdained
Yet it seems to glow!
Amidst the bright darkness,
Of this lonely night,
I pen this to highlight
The flights of my fights!
How my life looks vain!
My birth - a disgrace,
I was born a queen,
Yet, slavery I face!
A burden to my shoulders,
A load to my sons,
A grief to my siblings,
A fun for everyone!
An antique - cheap in nature
A painting - known by none
A sculpture - made of sores
At the hands of asylums!
My vision isn't blurred,
Its the world that has flunked.
Yet, they call me "Funny"
And I call them "Junk!"
