I Am Slave

By Aditi Singh


I’ve felt a need to care, to love

Those around me, those deserving

To hug and kiss and whisper sweet melodies

As fat tears fall from the creased corners

Of my weary eyes

I’ve felt a need to grow, to share

Feel proud of myself, and those

Who believe in me

Splatter raindrops of fulfilments

On someone’s arid dome




I’ve felt a need to cry, to express

Evoke emotions people never knew

They held in their crumpled hearts

And revive a human again

I feel the need to let go, move on

Forgive the miscreant, who hurt

Me and souls of those, I attempted

To love and care for

I feel the need to now rest



By Aditi Singh
