–Satyakam Ray

Empty spaces
Between echo chambers
voices daring to go
Break free
or, suffer by silently linger..

Hushed up emotions
Ready to water down
the barren mental field
what’s holding it down?
A social perspective
or, prejudiced stoic shield!

Tears have refused to flow
decided to become dry
on the behest of
some ruckus and cry…

Alas!it’s a part of the game
for the greater good
for sheer vindictive rope
or, feeling deja-vu
of reaching light
at the end of tunnel
to the surreal hope
