Poetry

Invisible

Deep inside the brain

There is a fear

That triggers me whenever

I hear that name.

 

Acting, fine in front of all

Hoping for the better days

Trying to forget several

Bruises all over my Praises

 

I struggled, I shrugged

In a no-humanity place

I survived, I revived

With a smile that hides tears face

 

Rallies and posts

In a virtual world

Judgements and comments

In the real World

 

Watching the recurring

Incidents, everyday

Still, with the heart burning

Waiting for justice, someday.

 

Deep inside the brain

There is a fear

That I will be buried again and again

With the shame, Strong and severe

For a mistake I have never done.
