They see your pain as light as feathers
But daily, you bargain with loads of painful chapters.
You know the pain that never leaves you free
The baggage of pain, always you carry.
They think that it’s so easy to bury
The bloody stains of pain from the tracks of your memory!
They treat it as an imbalanced glass of wine
You hold the pain that sets you apart from them.
For millions of years, pain has chosen only one person!
With grace,
you have been there for embracing pain
By shocking everyone
in the waiting room.
While absorbing
the nectar of pain
You emerged as a warrior of the foul life’s game!
