‘The Broken Wings’

By Ananya Gupta

’The Broken wings’

 

Don’t want to be seen,

 

don’t want to be heard;

 

The “tragic swan” has aspired the duck.

 

To turning and churning herself;

 

to be miraculously beautiful,

 

“Yet impressionable lunatic and sorrowful.”

 

Her vengeance is something;

 

which pushed her so far;

 

Trapped in a see through cage;

 

full of scars.

 

Her never ending suffocation;

 

the nerve wrecking humilation;

 

Distorted her mind into gazillions of 

 

dimensions.

 

The smallest of ripples,

 

which covered her with cuts and bruises;

 

The “infinite compassion” she holds;

 

 feels abuse from the collective gazes.

 

The maniac herself; 

 

she carries everyday,

 

Becomes the beget of judgments everyone 

 

says.

 

The paranoid soul she has; 

 

is a spectacle on display,

 

“The dazzling sunshine in her fades away.”
