Distance From Me

By Mallika Badwal


In the mirror, a grotesque face I see. 

My soul keeps a distance from me. 


The world twisted; I tremble with a plea. 

A haunting silhouette haunts, a distance from me. 


My cries linger, drowning in tears like the sea

As I am left to wither, a distance from me. 


A monster's mask that I wear like skin. 

My reflection is shattered, a distance from me. 


I wander alone, I fade year by year. 

A stranger to myself, a distance from me. 


Longing for peace yet consumed by fear. 

My mind finds no solace, a distance from me.


O Mallika, unbound, do not linger here. 

Leave the dark behind, end this distance from me.
