PEOPLE WITH POWER

SHAMBHAVI TIWARI

 When people with power break you,

 It’s a huge fall.

 Fall in the debris of the harrowing memories.

 Though every time it looks like it’s a wake up call,

 But the curtain of love blinds it all.

 From , “Oh! you don’t know a bit. I’ll help you love to , Oh! you   good for nothing, go figure it out yourself.”

Cushioned with sorrow and despair, the  clustered clouds burst into a river.

Those that don’t speak, couldn’t help but quiver.

Found a corner to question the Giver.

When will I be ready, to climb the stairs so heavy?

Heavy with judgements and criticism,

All the courage trapped in a prism.

Make no haste, the Conscience speaks,

Take the first train and be ready.

At each station of your life, the choice will be there.

You just have to take the  risk, dare.

The experiences will seep into the curious mind,

Whenever you feel stuck, the solution, you’ll always find.

Then will mull the people with power,

In wonder how you came at par?
