Hollow
Clouds up above my head,
As I walk down the moonlit lane,
Gentle wind carrying on its back,
Squeaks, chirps and silent laughs
Hands tucked deep inside,
Eyes bowed down, saddened mind
Mundane thoughts in my head
Stupid emotional distress
Feelings I hid from the world,
Came barging in, no answers learned.
Some questions they did propose,
Answers were two drops alone.
Friends I had quite a few,
Left now none, it’s just me and you,
Who is the other, you might wonder?
Mind and heart blown asunder
Being clumsy to cure the gloom inside,
Behind that smile is a crying child,
Why so sad? Can’t really tell!
You might relate, if you knew well
Didn’t grow from the kid I was,
Making paper planes and paper boats,
Still, dance under the thunder clouds
And jump on puddles,
wherever I found
Still watch squirrels, and their merry play,
And peep at sparrows from far away.
Dazzled by the starry sky,
Listened to the sounds of night
No idea, why am I still
Whether is it a curse, or is it chill
To be a child in an adult build
To be a child in an adult build
Walked past some passerby
Smiles exchanged, no replies
Eyes conversed what lips could not
Forgot the gloom, happy thoughts
Strangers we were all along
Travelers having tea at dawn
Fall of night is taking place
Walking under the good moon’s gaze
Lost am I In this world?
Or All of it is a just a blur
Life and its complexities
I cannot really comprehend
Pray to be anything else
Just not a zombie of the adult realm
Just not a zombie of the adult realm
