I Am Born

I Am Born

A Poem by ShameemAkhtar

Out of tears I am born
A drop,
drowned amidst others


The ripples carry me through,
carry me across
Drops burbling around


I am born
And I am drowned
And I fuse


I embrace silence
My heart kisses death
And more tears come


I am born
And I die.
Tears of my own making


Maybe
It’s only to die
That I am born


Out of tears

Tears that flow
In my veins.


Blood drops down my cheeks
My eyes wallow in a pool
A pool where I am buried


In tears I am born
With tears
I am born


Only


To depart

We are born to live, and we live to die. But spare yourself the tears; we can do some great things while we're here.

100/100 by the way.

I LOVE THIS POEM!
I embrace silence
My heart kisses death
And more tears come

AND...

Maybe
It’s only to die
That I am born

THAT IS TRUE IN WAY. WE ARE BORN ONLY TO DIE OR MAYBE WE DIE ONLY TO BE BORN AGAIN. GREAT WRITE!

i really liked this poem . thanks for the read request , the poem itself was really enjoyable to read and it has alot of power and demand . great write but from what i've read . i do think this is you at your best and is an improvement from some other poems i've read and it's nice to see that you're progressing and you might not even know it but , you are and it's always good to learn something and to correct mistakes and to escalate and look beyond to become a better writer . it's not important if you're not as good as another writer say in your mind as if you like to write , write and they will come .
