Murky Brains

By Aarvi Tulsani

You lay down, 

With all the happening things, 

Fights, loneliness, anger, jealousy. 

You rest your head

On your mushy pillow. 

Suddenly feeling light, 

Like a part of your body is removed. 

Realising, 

All the weight you have been carrying, 

From so many weeks. 

Sobbing, a bit. 

Screaming, a bit. 

Feeling hurt. 

Thinking, that part of your body, 

You'll have to carry. 

Again, for a whole day, 

Feeling tired and hefty. 

Until, 

You lay down.
