I never betrayed you

I never betrayed you

A Poem by Nida Lodi

It is never the storm that i want to skip away

its the silence that scares me everytime

these deep silences make me screech loudly

reminiscing my past i realize my cries were never listened upon

neither were my tears wipened

i was left out as an object accused of betraying my so called "own" people



And now i feel happy when i stand in a crowd

As no one is seeing me ...not even you..

because i can not let my eyes meet yours

I m ashamed...i m scared and immature enough to carry this  encumbrance of an "accused one"..

give me a chance to justify myself...i never betrayed you!!!


I want to run away now....and never want to come back...

the way where nobody goes...the place where nobody lives...

& then only i will be satiated enough...

that I TOO AM SUFFERING THE SAME PAIN THAT YOU SUFFER EVERY SINGLE SECOND!!!!

. exceptionally expressive and powerful ... being misconstrued is very painful ... i seek freedom from its shackles everyday and wish the same for you ... suffering is not an answer ... and i do realize the last line is a cry in anguish because i've cried in anguish ... only to realize ... that it's better to wipe my tears and do something about the silence ... nonetheless, this is a beautiful poem ... very moving ...

Powerfully put with cathartic lines that strike at the very heart...

P.S.- The poem is excellent but has some minor typographical errors though and could do with some editing.

Well, this seems to be slightly confused and with some spelling errors. Also, filled with anguish and emotional pain. Keep writing!

This made me so sad and gave me goosebumps!! Great job!
I'm assuming it is spoken word, it's a little difficult to read, but wouldn't be if spoken... wish I could hear it, I bet it's very powerful!
