Alright?A Poem by Mehar Anaokar
"Are you alright?
No, really Is everything okay? Why are you so quiet? Are you hurting? Can I do anything to ease the pain?" "Don't worry It's nothing I'm sure that I'll be fine Just a few bumps A few hiccups A few things on my mind" "Are you sure? You seem different Than you used to be before You used to smile You used to laugh You don't do that anymore" "Of course I do Quit bugging me What's gotten into you? Don't ask questions Don't argue This conversation is through" "I heard you cry Did you cry last night? Please tell me what's going on Let me in Let it out Let me know what's wrong" "I told you It's nothing Don't be so distressed We all cry We all hurt We all get a little upset Tomorrow morning I'll be fine And it'll all be better It'll be gone All of it Both my gloom and the weather" "It's morning now Hello? Are you still asleep? I'm glad you're ok For the first time I haven't heard you weep Hello? Hello? Will you answer? Why won't you reply? You haven't spoken For three days And I'm not really sure why... I read it in the papers I read about the pills An overdose, how could you? Too weak, but strong enough to kill." © 2017 Mehar Anaokar |
