Original Submission by neekita nigam

CRY

A cry that no one hears,

A sound we have to bear

Kiddo It happens to everyone it is just the start

Start of a journey I want to part

it all fell down

all the illusion of love and care

once you get outta your parent's lawn

once your feet are bare

you told me we are social beings

so tell me why the loudest sound is of money's ring

you told me kindness is no less than a treasure

so why, why is it overwhelmed my hatred that no one can measure

Everyone i love slowly slip away

while i walk like a dog astray

no there is a big difference the dog still have some hope

while i looking at my emotions hanging on a rope

I thought i build a dynasty heaven couldn't break

but no one cares when their lie is at stake

I love you all of you still

your kiddo couldn't fulfill your will

A kid laying on a bed crying in the warmth of a blanket

wishing her life and reality never met

so let me ask you what is your loudest sound when it is black and grey

it is something above a mere hope or pray
