YouA Poem by suchitra sarmahIts not a poem actually,I have written it for the people who are feeling low at this moment
Just stop a second,pause.you,yes I am talking to you.Stop and take a deep breathe.Where have you been for so long??I was looking for you,the vulnerable you,the unstoppable you.where do you hide yourself?We met before,if you remember.Long ago when you were crazy for fun,crazy for every new day of life i met you there. I saw you with red ink in your cheeks and lights in your innocent eyes.You used to love changes and usually got bored with the same things happening each day.you used to love the sounds of birds,the touches of the breezes on your hairs and face.You used to love the music irrespective of its lyrics,you just enjoyed everything even if you dont understand why thats happening to you only.Because you believed that at last only your faith will be counted,only your desire for living will be admired.Who told you all those things??You assumed the world as a playground where you play,fall and rise but as a whole you experienced.Success and failures were the words not to be found in your dictionary.you only counted the energy you put in everyday living.Who had given you such an energy each day to see the world as if you were watching it for the first time.You were unique as all the other people of the world.Because uniqueness is the rule of nature.No two leaves on a tree are identical and thats the thing which makes the tree beautiful and blessed be those leaves who never try to be something else and remain unaltered in their own identity.You knew all these at that small age.You loved the way you laughed,you saw yourself as a magic of the almighty.Where have you lost yourself and for what reason and for whom?No,no I want to know who taught you to make sacrifises by killing yourself?Did someone told you?If yes then did you dare to ask them if in future you will haunted by untried desires or dreams those are forbidden would they come and can return you your time?You might be satisfied by making sacrifises,dont you?I know you are,because then only you feel justified and feel that yes you have done something for someone,you feel proud on yourself by looking at those sacrifises.But let me know who taught you making sacrifises for loved ones will make you a noble man.Come on,they love you for who you are,though they may complain all the day but still they want the original you.And now that I am meeting you through this article I see a man with pale eyes and cold blood.Where is the original you?the vulnerable you??Why are you trying to cover the real you?You have placed so much barriers,walls in your heart that now you have become same as others,a machine and which is against the rule of nature.You must know thermodynamics,dont you?It says only that process is favourable in which the change of entropy is positive.And you must know entropy signifies disorders.So why do you restricted yourself within your own invisible boundaries?No,no dont tell me you did all that because of society,family and all.Because deep inside they never wanted you to kill yourself.Where have you lost your craziness?where is that fire which used to burn within your soul.Where are you my dear?
I hope today you will take a new birth,where you will again feel ecastasic about every new day.Where the cup from which you drink coffee each morning will seem different to you,where you will take a new route to office other than the one you used to.I hope you will see your loved ones as some strangers and will be able to feel the warmth of their love.I hope you will be able to see yourself as a miracle because yes you are the one.I hope you will dare to talk to the strangers you will meet on the way to your evening walk.I hope you will dare to say no when you dont want to do something and yes when you will feel that your heart wants it.I hope you will listen to your heart in every minute of your existence and will be able to go to the bed each night with a feeling that yes you lived your life today.Yes yours,not the one given by your parents and defined by the society but yours and only yours.Where the rule of life will be yours and the ways of living will be yours.I hope you will be able to see the moon as if you dont know what it is,like you dont know those theories if Newton or Einstein.You derive your own theories for the moon and for the distance travelled by breezes And you will live your life © 2014 suchitra sarmah |
