You mocked my credentials. You nurtured your potentials At the worldly art of satire. You hit me so hard- The ground under my feet Gave way to a shame so deep. I stood silent With a burning feeling Deep within my heart. I wanted to give it back With a thud and a smack. But the charm of the fight, The lure of the sunlight Adding a bright hue To the blood in your face Won’t excite me any more. You did what you were to do. You hurt me, defamed me Crushed my ego Under your villainous heels. Maybe that’s what your role was Maybe that’s what you were sent for- To purge the I out of me So that I can search for the sunlight Running wild and free.
As the voices crowd the mind, silence begins to speak.
